Jitterbugging for Jesus

I’ve never believed that God reveals God’s self to us only in the Bible, though it of course is our main source of revelation.

I’ve said her before that God reveals and has revealed God’s self in all kinds of ways to me (and you too, I’d say) — in music, in movies, in photography, in books and in all kinds of creative arts, not to mention revelation through nature and loving relationships with friends and family.

I have felt close to God in the soaring beauty a Mozart andante; in hearing the sad beauty of taps played at a military funeral; in stroking dogs I’ve loved — in some mean old Mick Jagger song, too.

And, definitely, through the kind of blues music that gets your Jitterbug leg shaking uncontrollably.

Thank you Lord for the divine gift of the blues and the release the great comedians like Robert Klein, who, in a comedy career spanning 50 years, still can’t stop his leg.
