In the airport, Fam.
About to board my flight to New York! So this’ll be fast.

All the plug-in stations are full. I literally squeezed into a spot by the pay phones across from the bathrooms. Did you know lots of folks still use payphones? It’s party central over here. Who knew?! :=)

Last month, when I found myself blogging in the airport, my husband left me to board the flight. Can you believe it? I couldn’t either!

I actually finished and hit send – on the plane- just before they told us to shut down all electronic devices. I won’t cut it that close today. Promise!

I’m excited to participate once again in the Greater Allen Cathedral of New York worship conference. This year the theme is “Hear the Sound”, and it’s led once again by my beautiful friend, Rev. Eyesha Marable, founder of the National Liturgical Dance Network.

Over 500 dancers and artists of faith will flood Allen’s megachurch pastored by Drs. Floyd and Elaine Flake over the next week. I’ve been asked to teach classes from teens to seniors. It’s always a blast. There are evening services that are open to the public. If you’re in the area, holler. Would love to see you. We will be making a joyful noise through the arts all week and finishing up with a praise party on Saturday in the park by the church.

And if you’re not in NY this week, don’t fret.
You can get your thanksgiving on right where you are. Seriously.
I know there’s something you’re grateful for today.

Let’s take a second and enjoy this famous song:

Psalm 100
The Message
A Thanksgiving Psalm
1-2 On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter,
sing yourselves into his presence.
3 Know this: God is God, and God, God.
He made us; we didn’t make him.
We’re his people, his well-tended sheep.
4 Enter with the password: “Thank you!”
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank him. Worship him.
5 For God is sheer beauty,
all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever.

You on your feet yet?!
OK, that’s my final boarding call.
Got to go!

  1. Definitely have some thanksgiving today – after a 2005 diagnosis and a 2010 recurrence, I had a cancer-free checkup yesterday. I’m thrilled. And just because it’s nice to know who’s commenting and how they found you :)….I heard you speak at STORY Chicago last September and now follow you on twitter. Enjoy the conference! It sounds like a beautiful one.

    1. YAAAYYYY!!!! Serenity! I’m thanking God with you! So happy for your cancer-free checkup! We truly know what that’s like. Praise. the. Lord! So good to hear from you and thanks so much for sharing your GREAT news! STORY was awesome. Thanks for keeping in touch. Sending lots of twirls and cartwheels your way. :=)
