"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).

Whoever Invented Christmas Should Be Shot!


I read a story of a woman who was out Christmas shopping with her two children. After many hours, looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable. And after hours of hearing both of her children asking for everything they saw on the shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids. Exhausted and a it short tempered about the whole experience.
Finally the elevator doors opened and there was already a crowd in the car. She pushed her way into the elevator and dragged her two kids in with her and all the bags of stuff. When the doors closed she couldn't take it anymore and stated, "Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up and shot."
From the back of the elevator everyone heard a quiet calm voice respond, "Don't worry we already crucified Him."
For the rest of the trip down the elevator it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
