"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).

Heaven is Not For Hire

"Heaven is much too serious a place for work. It will be all dance and play there."
(C. S. Lewis)

As good little church soldiers, does this compute? I believed my duty, my obligations to jobs NEEDING to be done, was the important work. Then some where along the line i realized greasing the wheels is not the important stuff at all. The important stuff is the way we love, dance, and play with others, and God  in redemptive relationships.  Funny Jesus all the commands are summed up in that too.
