Another out there type of thought

Ok bear with me. The following post may have "emergent church" overtones...it is not meant to...I don't want it to. It is more on the celebration of Christ' Birth, Death, and Resurrection, also our life now hidden in Him. Also the celebration of His creativeness and mind boggling awesomeness at filling this world with 1000's of cultures with their own often strange yet beautiful quirks...excluding wrong religious beliefs. (Those aren't beautiful...just sad.)

The following video is made possible by Stride Gum (not a promotional blurb, just giving credit and story, where credit and storyline are due). It is this guy named Matt who has been dancing this jig all over the world...paid by Stride Gum. He has been to over 80 countries in the past 2 years to film all of this. And you are wondering "Where are you going with this?" Rightly so:

I tend to be a Home Missions person. I really do have a heart for the people who are in my immediate surrounding. I often times feel like it is the popular thing to do to go off to some country to do missions when we really need them right here as well. However, after watching this video it blew me away the thought that God wants these people to know Him. God wants all these people to love Him, to have a reason to rejoice, to truly have a reason to dance a jig. I was also just blown away with the thought that many from these peoples will be in heaven, but many more need to know. Right here in our hometowns, far away half way around the world too. So here is to missions far and near, to our Lord for His amazing grace, to the Lord for his beauty spread out through the earth, and to our Hope and Home with the countless grains of sand...the many Saints.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8
---Hope this wasn't too emergent. I also suggest looking up "Where the Hell is Matt on YouTube and watching it in HD...much better
