What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about?

I was just reading something one of my sister's wrote and had an epiphany. Life isn't that bad... Really... Think of everything you have. I have a job that drives me crazy and stresses me to the MAX, but I honest to goodness love it. I have a roof over my head, food to eat, and a totally awesome family with the coolest parents and craziest sister's, plus a fantabulous brother-in-law, who I all love to death! I have the bestest best friend who goes with me on any crazy road trips I decide to come up with, even if our lives freakishly resemble one another's sometimes. I have my own car, a dog (ok,ok my moms dog), a far out black bear collection and pictures, romance books, elvis movies, old country music, and much more... One of the best things I have is nature! To sit on a rock and listen to the babble of a stream, or the cry of a hawk, or even the wind whistling through the leaves. Now, that's therapy!
But one of the best things I have in my life, is the gospel. With it anything is possible. You can overcome anything if you just have enough faith and love. You don't have to know everything, heck, I don't! My motto with the gospel is by small and simple things because I am small and very simple minded. The one thing that bugs me the most about PEOPLE is: Note to self to all: Pride does kill. It will eat away your life. Don't let past bitterness, jealousy, or offenses get to you. Just BELIEVE in the Lord, He really does know what he's doing! Seriously, just get over it...
So it comes down to this... What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about? "You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out, you put your right foot in, and you shake it all about. You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about!" You decide whether you're in or out. You decide whether to shake it off. You decide what life's about. You decide!
