FLASH MOB!



One of the coolest things I've seen/participated in: a flash mob.  If you don't know what this is, it's when, in a large crowded place, people randomly start dancing.  As the dance progresses, more and more people gradually join in.  You never know if the person standing next to you is another bystander like you or a part of the madness.
This past weekend, during the Boulevard, Meadows put on one of these flash mobs.  We met one time during the week to learn the dance and prayed it would all work out.  In my opinion it was a success!  People all around were extremely surprised and shocked at how such a large crowd had learned the dance.  It is a fun way to get people involved.  Just being a part of something makes you feel special and needed.  Especially when it's something as cool and secretive as a flash mob.  Smiles and cheers broke out everywhere during this dance.  It was a positive, fun way to be involved.
I admit, sometimes I wish that our lives were like a musical where everyone randomly breaks out in perfect song and dance.  Wouldn't that be something if everyone was so connected that group songs and dances just happened?  We would be so close, we would know exactly what the other is thinking and about to sing (kind of like when you finish your best friend's sentence - you just know).  No wonder people love musicals.  It's a positive connection between others that is indescribably awesome.
