"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).

What Are Chruch Planters & Missionaries Planting?

"In fact, it's more often than not been the case that Sunday services are planted rather than missional Jesus communities. "
(The Shape Of Things To Come. Michale Frost, Alan Hirsch. Hendrickson, 2003. pg 18)

I have served on Church planting organizations, and rubbed shoulders with many missionaries on the field. At times I have to say we accomplish only having a Sunday service going. However, these people have no real sense of any mission in their mind. These are the church plants that fail, not necessarily because of the weakness of the church planter, but because of the actual people who are "Non-Planted".
