Charlotte! I think I’ve watched it and this dance troupe 1000x !! I can’t get enough. I am so deeply moved by music and dance. All art - but this is what gets my brain on fire. Thank you and I’m so glad you loved it! Sending you much love. ox

Their presentations are emotionally provocative, and I love their synchronicity. Not a finger out of place. Their movement together transcends typical d dance. They are the music. Thank you for sharing it, AND your poem!

I AM. The answer given to Moses by God when Moses asked Him His name. Meaning Hayah. I pray to Hayah. Hayah, Hayah, Hayah. Truth hidden before our eyes. 👀

I love this! They do transcend dance into art. Love Modern Dance for this reason! and I LOVE "I Am" - Amen to that! ox

Awwe Joan! Thank you so much! It’s creativity bouncing off of creativity that I adore. I feel very driven lately, coming through some milestones of dropping baggage. All I I want to do is create as an offering to God. I just want to live a life of creativity and thankfulness. I know, more than ever, within that immersion, is life and living. Sending you a ton of love and a big hug. ox

ha ha ha! Now we have to do them live? I’ve been laughing so hard over this! My thoughts went to finding a neighborhood kid that could do it for me? What do you think? lol.

And we are totally on the same page! I’m still laughing. I think maybe God is having a chuckle too! Thank you so much Merissa. oxox

Oooh not bad of an idea! I also think there are companies that actually can take your written song and sing it for you 😂 I've always thought about trying that sometime haha

And yesss...nothing better than making God laugh! You are so awesome, too! Much love 💕 😎

Ahhhhh YESSSSS! I’ve been cracking myself up (or on some kind of sugar crack?) but I’ve been so sleepless and full of the creative spirit. I have entered this crazy realm of wanting to go for it and honor God in all I do and just offer up as much as I can! I owe Him a HUGE THANK YOU for the life I have - so yeah. I am moved lately to be Deb 5.0.

And you gave me tears (b/c that’s what we do in the quiet of our reading and communication here).

Now to find a good rapper for this! ha ha! I bet you know some NJ boyz that could pour it out?

I love you Kristin. Can’t wait to talk to you on the podcast. I gotta get that back, rolling and scheduling. oxox

Mary!! I owe you a message! I got so busy with creativity that I disappeared into it! I just want to make my life an offering to God these days. Create to live and thank Him. And…. ha ha! If you direct it? I am the biggest dork! I always wanted to be in the industry directing or something - I love that whole visual creativity but I wouldn’t know where to begin!! Now I gotta rap it and make a video? lol!! We’ll see! And thank you friend. oxox

The Son is our sun! Great rap...! :)

C.J. Ramone wrote a song called, "Waiting on the Sun" He said it is his way of telling his punk fans exactly Who "the sun" is. In the music business, the ones that want to stay alive must be as crafty as a fox to get the message across to the fans who love punk but are also followers of Christ and all that is good. For some reason punk is equated with anything but actually having a love for God. I have friends in the punk "community" who have to keep God under wraps in public. C.J. does a great job of not mixing politics or religion into his songs while counting on his fellow Christians to read between the lines. I admire that in a person. Not all of us can stand on a street corner soapbox if they want to make a living and a difference. Yay you, Deb ! Much love, many blessings from me to you...

Yay Jenni!! Yesss! we can love God in all we do because he wired us all so uniquely! That’s why I love artists! They are expressing themselves the way they are built + when you add in their faith, it becomes a gift to Him! Thank you so much for your kindness and support. I really appreciate our friendship here. Sending you a great big hug and much love always. ox

And…. ha ha ha! I think this is my favorite comment little bro! I actually had tears in my eyes when I saw this. I feel like rapping to it? no? lol! Ode to the Lyrical Gangster?? Hotstepper, Sweet pepper, jam maker, heart breaker, etc. humm? What do you think? <insert crying-laughing face emoji>

Is that dance troupe a phenom? INCREDIBLE inspiration there. And their choreographer? unreal! Paris Cavanagh. She’s exactly what she was called: The Van Gogh of choreography. The whole ending, of AGT, with no disrespect, was a great letdown. But all art is subjective. Love you. ox

Jody, I think I’ve watched it and moved around the house about 126 times. There is nothing like music and dance to get my brain on fire. This dance troupe, Brent Street, is incredible. Thank you for reading and watching! Sending you a big hug! ox
