concert worship

so last night a bunch of us went to a concert - a guy from the 50s and 60s, his name is Paul Anka... it was a good show, as one friend put it, "it was nice to be entertained..."

the last two chapels i have tried to begin to convey to the kids what worship is, what is results in... one of the illustrations i gave was of people at a football game or people at a concert who were cheering madly for thier team or their favorite band...

well, last night i saw this happening... while enjoying the show, it became really clear that some present were enjoying the show a lot more than some of the rest of us... during one song, Mr. Anka came down to the floor level and was dancing with a lady as he sang when another lady RAN down to the front, unashamed, to get a chance to dance... she waited while they danced, and he sang, and he was gracious enough to give her a kiss... she was, in a sense, worshipping... interesting to think of how unconcerned she was about appearance... she only wanted his attention and recognition... she recognized him and begged for attention... she got the attention...

don't misunderstand... i know i am messed up too, i worship stuff i shouldn't i'm no better, i just haven't seen such a good example since UVa beat FSU for the second time...
