"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).

Christians Want To Be Slaves

And church leaders are so willing to make them, for the accomplishments of their own visions.

<blockquote>"The question had become not “What does Jesus say?” but “What does the Church say?” This question is still being asked today.

Sad but true: Some Christians want to be slaves. It is easier to let others make decisions or to rely upon the letter of the law.  (Brennan Manning. Ragamuffin Gospel. Pg 145)<blockquote>
