"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).

Preaching Madness

"Oh God, what madness I have preached in sermons!" (Brennan Manning. Ragamuffin Gospel, pg 25)

If you knew how often we church leaders look back and say we were mistaken or misguided, you would begin to think, study and learn for yourselves, and rely far less on us to guide you.
