"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).

How Some Africans Feel About Short Term Missions

"Short-term missionaries do not really get to know us," an African believer told missionary Jim Lo. "We may love them as brothers and sisters, but they are still strangers to us. It is hard to be influenced by strangers. We need more long-term missionaries than short-term missionaries. "

(Stan Guthrie, Missions in The Third Millennium, pg 88. 2000, paternoster Press, )
