"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).

Worship is the Goal of Mission

"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because Worship doesn't....Worship therefore, is the fuel and goal of missions. It's the goal of missions because in missions we simply aim to bring the nations into the white hot enjoyment of God's glory."

(John Piper. "Let the nations be Glad", Perspectives on the world Christian Movement, 1999, William Carey Library, Pasadena California, pg 49)
