"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 Just You....Or Is It?

"Maybe it's a matter of peer pressure for most of us. Who wants to face the obvious comebacks we are sure to get if we ask why it's not working? You know what I'm talking about. The 'stock' Christian answers we get when people don't know what else to say. 'You need to be in the word,' or 'You must have secret sin in your life,' or 'You just need to spend more time in prayer,' or the ever popular, 'You just need to give it to God,' These comebacks all imply personal failure or a lack of comittment. They are designed to shut you up so you won't be tempted to ask controversial questions that the people who say them don't have the answers to," (The Misunderstood God. Darin Hufford, PG 8)
