"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).

The Gospel Too Big

"I nor the churches themselves really live much of the real Gospel—at least enough to actually change our present lifestyles! It is just too big a message."
(Richard Rohr. Falling Upward.)

By too big, he means there is great depth and scope to the gospel. Its more than a person can live up to. So we always have things to learn and grow into. A radically different idea than most churches teach. They teach we can lie up to it and should.
