"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).

Sahara Desert has "Flip Flop" Trees in Niger





I got this note from the Dias family doing some research in West Africa in 2011. While out in Niger, a new friends spoke with a man, the only believer among his people group way out in the desert, who tried to describe what life was like where he grew up..... 

"If you stick your flip flop in the sand, toes toward the sky, it will be the tallest thing (other than people) for MILES!" 

Anyone feel called to preach the Gospel out here in the desert???
