The Invitation to Freedom in Our Lives

"People started coming together and there was a lot of dancing going on. And my memory is that I didn't dance, that I totally sat it out. I don't know if you have memories like that -- chances where you had that space for freedom and you chose to sit it out. And I don't even know why. I took a couple videos and sometimes I think maybe if I was freer I would dance. Maybe if some of the stuff hadn't happened to me in my life as a kid I would dance. Maybe if I felt better in my body I would dance. Maybe if I didn't feel so conspicuous I would dance. Maybe if I was a better person I would dance. I don't know what it is that keeps you out of that space, but it doesn't serve any purpose." Sermon by Becca Stevens at All Saints Church, Pasadena, on Sunday, November 10, 2019.
