"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).

Where is God Anyway?

There are still holy places, holy times, services, events and activities. That is why modern Christianity is not freed from the old covenant, nor the temple that represented it. We are still very much in the temple mind set.

"When Christianity restricts God's presence to the sacred or denies God's presence outside the sacred, it mirrors an Enlightenment culture that crudely separated life into the secular and the religious, thereby making the omnipresence of God hard to experience."
(Leonard Sweet. Nudge. Pg 93)
