"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).

You Sin By Questioning The Pastor! Oh Really?

"The New Testament idea of oversight in our churches contains no hint of individuals who have authority over other individuals in the ways we have learned from the systems of the world. In a community governed by oversight rather than by “lording over” others, dialogue and inquiry are welcomed and encouraged, which is a far cry from the message of the Seattle megachurch pastor who preached to his congregation about the issue of “sinning through questioning.” (Lance Ford. Un-Leader)
