"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).

Churches In Afghanistan

Something to pray about:


"Afghans: Since Islam entered
Afghanistan in the late 7th century that country has been almost totally closed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. From the very day (July 17, 1973) that the government bulldozed the only church building in the whole country, there has been continuous revolution and war. Out of 25 million Afghans, one million are dead, two million wounded, 7 million homeless, and more than three million are refugees living in other countries. God's good purpose is to draw Afghans to himself. He has raised up workers among them both in Afghanistan and among the refugees in at least two other countries. Some are now responding and turning to Christ, and the very first Afghan churches in history are now coming into being."
