If your spirt dances your body will follow

         This evening I had the opportunity to go to a concert unlike any other I'd attended. The Asante Children's Choir is a group of 24 boys and girls between the ages of eight and fifteen from Rwanda. The group has been touring around the states to raise money in order to provide education and health care for more than a thousand children in Rwanda.
        The tour's title, "The Sound Of Hope" fits perfectly. These children have experienced more hardship in their young lives than I could ever dream of and yet, here they are, singing and dancing about the sincere joy and love they have to share.
        Now as you may know, I love dance and to watch these tiny humans... I can only be describe it as a complete joy; a bubbling excitement in my spirit of the possibility of hope. These beautiful children were exuding an indescribable, infectious energy from every pore- every smile- every voice. Bad things have happened to these kids but you would never know that by seeing them perform. Watching them was truly a privilege.

The performance was truly inspiring-- and if I wasn't going to Africa in twenty-three days, I would be figuring out a way to get there.
