"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).

Just Shut Those People Up!

All I can say is yup! I'm Guilty as charged......Been on receiving end some as well.  We are experts at this in church... Forgive me.

"Followers have been trained to do what they are told without argument, and without daring to think for themselves. If anyone does dare to challenge popular ideas, others come along and try to bully that person back into line, insinuating the person with questions isn’t being faithful to God, or they are ‘bashing’ other believers. A common tactic is to throw a negative label on their ideas to diminish ’ their voice...." (D.R. Silva. Hyper-Grace:Dangerous Doctrine Of  A Happy God)
