"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).

We have Work to do on syncretism!!

Syncretism - Guatemala

"All of the major denominations of evangelical churches in Guatemala scored low in understanding orthodox Christian doctrine, showed a high level of syncretism and a low level of Christian living. "

("Guatemala Research: The Joshua Project", Laura Eller & Roger Grossmann, EMQ July 2003, pg 307)

Shallowness

"Part of the heartache of all missionary work is the bright promising convert who turns out to be a mere puffball, crumbling like a macaroon under the least pressure."-Isobel Kuhn

(pg 310 EMQ, July, 2003)
