"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).

Which country has the most efficient missionary-sending church?

"One might guess Korea (16,000), the Philippines or Norway...But the surprising fact is that Mongolia tops the list as the most efficient missionary sending country. One out of every 222 Mongolian believers serves with a mission organization. In fact, of the entire global Protestant community, the most efficient missionary-sending countries are not wealthy ones....If Mongolia can send one missionary for every 222 believers, other countries are without excuse."
