DANCE Acrostic
This DANCE Acrostic is an original I wrote for the Praise and Worship Dance Team that I am on. It really is our Mission Statement.
We do monthly presentations at Retirement Homes, Churches, and other Events. Our dance is a mix of Jewish Folk Dance, C&W Line Dance, Interpretive Worship Dance, and other sources. Our music is Contemporary Christian with some Old Hymns–but often we do
incorporate some modern Holiday music too. (Just last Christmas I had fun dressing up as Frosty the Snowman and dancing around!)
Our desire is to create a fun atmosphere where we can share the love of God through dance and music. We often use tambourines and worship flags in our presentations also. I invite you to visit our website at: www.eomdt.org for more information and photos.
The Daily Post–Daily Prompt: Let’s Dance
It’s National Opposites Day!
Shall I say goodbye when I mean hello?
And should I stay when I really want to go?
On this day of opposites,
Does anyone know what really fits?
If I say what I mean,
Will I mean what I say?
Oh Lord help me make it through this crazy day!
Perhaps it would be better to stay in bed,
And just skip this day instead,
But if sunrise is sunset, it’s over before it begins,
So I shall just play along ’til it ends!

Pondering Paths
I was going,
But now, I’m not.
Plans change so quickly.
Another day passes,
As I do mundane tasks.
Time passes slowly.
Days become filled
With work and school.
Minutes fly by.
Sunrises in the East.
Sunsets in the West.
Moments in between are a blur.
Life–a daily gift.
Have I used it well?
Have I shared it with others?
The Lord of days
Watches it all
And ponders…
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths. Proverbs 5:21

Daily Prayer
This daily prayer I do say.
Lord, in heaven on high,
Lead and guide me to Your way.
Lord, protect me I pray.
From all evil that might come nigh.
This daily prayer I do say,
Whether I be at work or play,
I ask that You, my needs supply.
Lead and guide me to Your way.
Teach me what I should say.
Show me Your word to apply.
This daily prayer I do say.
Lord, help me make it through this day.
If my plans go awry,
Lead and guide me to Your way.
Help me, my words to weigh,
That You I might glorify.
This daily prayer I do say,
Lead and guide me to Your way.
Villanelle
(This is my first attempt at writing a Villanelle. It was very challenging.)

NaPoWriMo 2013, #19–Blessings–“Pocket Poem”
This a “Pocket Poem” I wrote and shared yesterday. I printed out 5 in the shape of a pocket, which I carried in my coat pocket,to share with people throughout the day.
One share was unexpected and very special!
So glad I was able to participate in “Pocket Poem Day 2013” and I plan to do so every year ! (And…next year I hope to print out even more to share! 🙂
I bless you with hope,
As you go about this day.
I bless you with dreams,
That will never fade away.
For as you keep these within,
The battle of life you will win!
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24 (NKJV)
