"It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe - the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, selfsacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss."
N Francis Chan (Crazy Love)
"Jesus promissed His disciples 3 things: they'd be completely fearless, absurdly happy, & in constant trouble."
GK Chesterton
"If you are weary of some sleepy form of devotion, probably God is as weary of it as you are."
Frank Laubach
"Keep safe and don't let the wackadoodles get to you. They got to me and I suspect I will never be the same again." (Friend,AB) "The farsighted tend to get blindsided by the near sighted." Barry Kolb
"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).
