I Am A Follower, by Leonard SweetThis book captivated me in the beginning when the writer, Leonard, described an event at the Sasquatch Festival.
A lone man at this event started dancing on his own even though no one around him was engaged. He didn't care what they thought or if they watched, he was just happy dancing alone. It was a jerky, odd kind of dance with lots of tumbling and twisting. It wasn't what you would normally see every day.
After a few moments, another man came up and started dancing with him. Soon, others followed suit and everyone was dancing. It turned into a dance party movement and everyone was having a great time.
Just like Jesus, this first lone man was not embarrassed or afraid of what others might think of his bold moves. He continued to show others how much fun it was to be different and they followed suit.
Sometimes we are too afraid to be different and show others that we are indeed, followers of Jesus. It takes guts and determination to show how life could be if they followed Jesus, too.
