"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).

Twinkle In Worship...................

"Similarly, if we resort to techniques in our churches - or once we resort to them - it is very hard to get rid of them. Worship gimmicks create superficial Christians. Once we condition our congregation to Twinkles in worship, it is hard to help people appreciate good vegetables.12 As spiritual leaders, we must be constantly on the alert against methods, gimmicks, marketing strategies."
