"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).

Legitimate Grief Over Church

"Christian culture doesn’t have a category for grief and anger at wrongs done in God’s name. They see it all as cynicism." (Jim Palmer).

I've treated people this way..... Sorry! Sometimes people have been hurt and we focus more on their need to accept it, and get over it, quickly. We do not permit them time to recover from wounds. Wound them more by suggesting they should get over it fast or they are sinning.  All the while we do little to address or acknowledge the causing factors.
