"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).

It's Some Hard Work!

As Melvin Hodges says, "The church planter will be a man of vision. He will see possibilities where others only see obstacles. He will be highly motivated and persevere in spite of discouraging setbacks. His vision is backed up by a solid faith that God has sent him to do this work and will see him through. Most churches are established because of the vision, spiritual burden, sacrifice, and perseverance of some individual who gave himself to the task of church planting."

(Finding Organic Church. Frank Viola. David C.Cook publishing, 2009. Page 59)
