"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).

David Brainard Gives his Inheritance to Further Kingdom Efforts!

David Brainard – Missionary to NA Indians.


"Having decided to devote his life to Indian Service, David concluded that he would not need the money he had inherited form his Father's estate. So in early December he traveled to Southbury, Connecticut, the place where he had preached his first sermon, to visit a young man, Nehemiah Greenman, who was interested in studying for the ministry. David devoted his inheritance to pay for three years of education at Yale for Greenmen."
