The Dance of Insanity
Quick life update: Trina and I just got back from the National House Church Conference, and it was encouraging as always. We’ve made lots of good friends from all over the country through this venue, and it was good meeting up with many of them again. And there were so many others who were just beginning to envision God’s family life in new ways, which was also exciting for us to watch. Among these newbies were the new MRNA (Missionary Residency for North America) students! It’s been two years since Katrina and I were in the program’s internship year, but its still great to hang out with these guys and to welcome them into the program. I might write more about the conference and on our new buddies later on.

If life is a dance, then who is our partner? Watch this moving video till the end:
How does this hit you? What does it say about life’s struggle, human nature, spiritually destructive forces, and the dance of God?
For me, I see in this dance the original intimacy we were ALL created in, a move toward corrupted insanity and ultimate isolation, and then the powerfully violent fight for life’s redemption with our partner.

Great video. Was it shown at the H2H conference or did you just find it on GodTube?

I found it on a Christian social network that I joined – someone emailed me the link and I watched it there. I’m not usually one for Christian sub-culture knock-offs (ala GodTube: Broadcast HIM…yeesh) but if the content is good, it doesn’t matter what source its from.

Hey Mark,
I loved the video, it hit home with me. I am sitting here in the hotel room at flight attendant training. It is so difficult to maintain the balance. I am being hit with all the ideas of moving up in the company there is alot of opportunity. Where is the balance, I don’t think it is wrong to be in the corporate world working. I believe it is needed but you better have a good group around you watching and holding you accountable so you don’t fall in. I feel the tug even now. Thanks for sharing. Sean and I were just talking about this last night.
