"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).

My Dream Church

Is there more people like this? I want to walk with you. I would even consider ministry full time for a church people with this desire.

"(missional)..... Such a church makes it's mission its priority and perpetually asks itself, 'What has God called us to be and do in our current cultural context?' ... the missional church shapes itself to fit the context in order to transform it for the sake of the kingdom of God....missional church is always outward looking, always changing (as culture continues to change), and always faithful to the Word of God. In many places it is so radical it barely resembles church as we know it. In other cases it might appear conventional but is in fact incarnating itself into its community in surprising and exciting ways."
