"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).

Will we ever have work to Bless?

Peace Corps trainee's conversation & reflections on his up comming work in Africa, as a young man gave him a ride. It's about how any of us feel as workers starting in a new region in Africa, where few have dared to work..
 
"'Good luck to you, friend,' the driver said a few minutes later, dropping me off on a campus sidewalk after telling me repeatedly what a great person he thought I was. 'God bless your work in Africa.'
'Thanks,' I said sincerely.
But as he drove away. I wondered if I would ever have work in Africa for God to Bless.
