"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).

When "Doing Church" Is Your Spiritually

"I grew up Catholic, became a Baptist, attended an Evangelical Free Church seminary, and pastored a nondenomina- tional church. Through the twists and turns, the common denominator of all those years in church was my dependency upon services, clergy, and programs to dispense God and facilitate my Christianity. My spirituality was largely doing church, but deep inside I hungered for something more."
(Jim Palmer.  Divine Nobodies: Shedding Religion To Find God- And the unlikely people who help you.)
