"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).

Judged by How We........

And should we not be judged by how we love God and people? It's what Jesus said these two are the greatest things of all. Forgives us; forgive me, for making it about intimately, bismally, about insignificantly trivial pursuits, visions, plans and small dreams.

"The worst thing you can do to Christianity is to turn it into a philosophical endeavor. Faith is more than beliefs to be learned; it is bonds (relational) to be lived. Faith is more than holding the 'right' beliefs; it is holding the 'right' hands. We are judged by the world not on the basis of how 'right' we've gotten what we believe but on how well we're living it - on how we love God and people." (Leonard Sweet. What Matters Most.)
