"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 Perfect Mindless Heartless Christian Body

This cartoon just so nailed the, "treat them like mindless bimbo's who are soooo helpless" attitude the average church leadership treats people like. If we don't point the finger, they will never find their way. They need us..... ahem... ME.... 

Thinking people can't take the pain of being treated like helpless two year olds who need leading by the hand. It really is insulting......
 
We are no longer "Sheep without a shepherd". We have a Shepherd now. But,  by the way we speak and act in church,  it seems we forget that.

This cartoon is worth a look... It's blunt and raw.... but as a pulpit minister and overseas missionary for many years, I can't really argue with much of it... Unfortunately, It exposes a real truth of how we treat people, and I think why we have such a "feed me" mentality in the body..
