Double Wow - Feedback

From Sue Caley:

Wow, double wow! We just got our copy of the magazine and the picture is not only beautiful but the article is too! It really captures the essence of swing dance and it's community through you guys. Thanks for being willing to share....

... I have a feeling Steve is going to be very busy fielding dances now. The girls will be lined up to dance with him after this article. ....Every woman wants to be "Ginger"! I understand the front cover photo now, it's perfect!

What Makes Me Tick

"It's not about me using God to get through circumstances, it's about God using circumstances to get through to me."

"...I realized how much God accepted me and loved me just the way I was (ie I didn't have to perform up to whatever standards I myself or others were placing on me). And along with knowing I was accepted, I felt how God saw me and valued me. That was a very freeing moment in my life."

"... live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.... the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Romans 8. NIV

... or not.


I'm just a guy, what do I know? :)

Countdown


It was brought to my attention that the magazine will actually come out Saturday for regular subscribers.

FG is such a ham.



(... and Steve in his favorite pink outfit, ...just so we're even.) :)

It's all about trust.


Tom and Debra's beginner lesson at Glen Echo Spanish Ballroom. The fun is just beginning.

You have to begin somewhere.



Tom&Debra teach a beginner lesson before the dance at Glen Echo's Spanish Ballroom.

Sneek peek from April


"... the story is about [Steve's] dance partnership with F.G. In a way that partnership - which was nearly perfect, but like all things earthly was destined to end one way or another - is a metaphor for those transcendent moments people find on the dance floor." April Witt, Magazine Staff Writer for the Washington Post.

This life's dim windows ...

This life's dim windows of the soul,
Distort the heavens from pole to pole,
And lead you to believe a lie,
When you see with not through the eye
.
William Blake
