"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Amazing Results of Prayer !

Prayers Power

My friend, Wagiono Sumarto, from Indonesia tells that when he was the president of the Muslim Student Union in the University of Djakarta, a group built a church building in his hometown. He went home during a vacation time and burned the building. The pastor and elders. knowing who had torched their new \(,"building. came to him. forgave him. told him they would pray for him. gave him a Gospel of John and then left. That brief testimony led to his conversion. The conversion of his Muslim family. and through him to the conversion of several thousand Indonesian Muslims. He also led in the establishment of churches in both Indonesia and the United States.
