"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).

When Rigidity Is Mistaken For Faithfulness.

"And it did what the gospel can’t help but do: It broke the power of mere “moralistic religiosity" in my life and revived a deeper acceptance that had long ago withered in me.
ln our society, we tend to swear unyielding allegiance to a rigid position, confusing that action with finding an authentic connection to a Life-giving Spirit."

(Rich Mullins in forward to "Ragamuffin Gospel, Brennan Manning)
