"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).

Assumptions

"When you 'assume' you make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me.'...
'You don't really believe it's a coincidence that the word ass is contained within the word assume ...do you?"
(The Bastard Tree. M.C. Lang)

Never heard this before. However, there is a lot of insight gained by this statement. I've had too many assumptions about others. I feel I was on the receiving end often enough too.

This is a fiction book. But no fiction in this truth. The title would put off Christians, but the book is absolutely not what you think. It's actually a redemptive story. This book can not be judged by it's cover. Publishers suggested he change the name. However, the author refused. I recommend it.
