"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).

Don't Question.... The Church... or else...

"One reason traditional church life is sometimes not a helpful stimulus for spiritual formation is that people are normally rewarded for reinforcing the status quo and frowned upon for upsetting it, which questions often do. Church history is littered with troubling stories of what happens to people who question things." (Jim Palmer. Wide Open Spaces)
