"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).

Nasty Pulpit View....

Yep......

"The ordinary group of worshipping Christians, as the preacher sees them from the pulpit, does not look like a collection of veryjoyful people, in fact, they look on the whole rather sad, tired, depressed people. It is certain that such people will never win the world for Christ... It is no use trying to pretend: we may speak ofjoy and preach about it: but, unless we really have thejoy of Christ in our hearts and manifest it, our words will carry no conviction to our hearers."
(Stephen Neill (1900-1984), The Christian Character)
