Hey There, Lonely Girl

I will be strengthened with all power according to God's glorious might so that I may have great endurance and patience and joyfully give thanks to the Father Who has qualified me to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. Colossians 1: 11-12 (NIV)

More than 4,000 people responded to emails calling them to dance "like you've never danced before" at 6:53 p.m. in Victoria Station in England. For two hours, MP3 players and iPods emerged and the crowd danced wildly to their soundtracks in silence. Why?

Because we all have the innate need to connect, to be a part of something bigger, a community with shared interests. All around the world, flash mobs are being promoted through web sites and emails calling people to pop up in select public places to do something silly for a brief period of time and then quickly disperse.

Activities range from pillow fights to entering Home Depot in slow motion.

31 Days, a website that documents Kate's search for a Valentine's date, this year mobilized a flash date that drew in gals dressed in either pink or red and guys bringing a flower or chocolate at London's Trafalgar's Square. Yes, word has it that a date came out of it.

Guess the best part of connecting via blogs or chat rooms is when the words become flesh! Glad to hear that people are taking risks and having fun connecting in 3D.

What a thought! Maybe we should try a flash mob for Christian singles? Where would we go? What would we do when we showed up?

What would we do?

Probably look each other over and eliminate each other according to our picky, individual standards.
