Almost every day, I dance, and it’s always good. But today when I danced before the Lord, I experienced the most wonderful ecstasy. This has happened to me before in various circumstances, and always takes me by surprise.
No matter what God gives or takes, I am completely safe in his hands, one with him forever. I have nothing to fear, so my heart just can’t help overflowing with joy and delight.
As soon as I finished dancing, I sat on the floor to write today’s blog:
David danced before the LORD with all his might (2 Samuel 6:14; NLT).
Dancing here before you, Lord:
I’m overwhelmed by ecstasy.
Living, dying, in your hands:
I overflow with ecstasy.
One with you, my Lord, my God:
Our love explodes in ecstasy,
Sharing everything you send:
At one with you, through ecstasy.
I became in ecstasy (Acts 22:17; DBY).

My new cutting tool is terrifyingly sharp, but it worked beautifully. So yesterday’s rosary is now finished, packed up and ready to post as soon as I can get to a Post Office.
