"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).

The Great Commission Loses Meaning for the Church of the West?

"(There)..... is the vast ignorance of its own members about the texts and traditions of their faith. A clergy friend of mine put on their calling card “Great Commission minded.” When his spouse gave that card to a friend who was in trouble, she looked at it and said, “It says here that you are Great Commission minded. How big a cut do you take of the offering?”
