"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).

"Western Christianity? Nothing Western About Christ Anymore!

"It is heartening to see the Majority World missions enthusiastically embracing the Great Commission. Korean churches were among the first to pioneer among the peoples along the old Silk road (They wish to follow it back reaching all unreached peoples and back into Europe). Churches in China have long pursued a vision of doing their part in completing the task if world evangelization in accord with the `Back to Jerusalem' movement, focused on the remaining unreached people groups in Asia and the Middle East. Nigerian mission movements have pledged to meet the Chinese in Jerusalem as they evangelize across Islamic North Africa and the Middle East. Latin Americans are major players in Evangelizing the peoples of North Africa."
