"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).

Docile Domestication Of Our Faith.

"Doesn't God want folks either passiona- tely in love with him (hot) or flipping him the bird (cold) rather than the halfhearted mediocrity of religious compliance? Both the passion and the rebellion flow from the same source, which God placed in us and knows he must get hold of and transform (not eliminate) in order to make people whole. Many of us nice church people are sorely out of touch with this source we have rejected and long since buried beneath our religious facade."
(Jim Palmer.  Divine Nobodies: Shedding Religion To Find God- And the unlikely people who help you.)
