"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).

Risk & Mission

Personal Risk in Missions- Why?

"When Peru's air force shot down missionary Jim Bowers' plane in 2001, killing his wife and daughter, secular journalists asked him why he would work in a dangerous place. Bowers, however, turned the question around: "Why do reporters go to dangerous places to report the terrible things that are going on? Reporters tell the bad news; missionaries tell the good news. "
