"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).

Is Christianity (Our Christianity) Coming True?

"Elie Wiesel has said, "Christianity did not come true during Auschwitz." More than 20 percent of the German SS officers, the
expert killers, were professing Christians. This is a disturbing nightmare, a religion that is so impotent and so removed from relationship that it could not "come true" when millions of Jews were being incinerated. Jesus gave us a relationship test whereby we can know whether faith "comes true." The test, according to Jesus, is that his disciples are known not by how well they defend orthodox propositions, but by how well they "love one another." (What Matters Most. Leonard Sweet. Pg, 21)
