Gilchrist really turned up the heat and following the next entreaty, I was the last one standing. I knew that the Bible was clear about lying, but I could not see a Biblical position against dancing. I knew that if I sat down (the easy way out) I would be lying - in God’s house. I stood my ground.

He was about to go after me one on one when, J T, bless his heart intervened and ended the service.

This event still hurts and I know it was part of my strong bias against organized religion that dominated my 20s and 30s. In fact, I am convinced that religion does more to hurt and embarrass Christ than almost anything else.

I never got a reading on how Mom and Dad felt about my performance in church that Sunday, but clearly they were not opposed to dancing.
