"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 Can't Make It Without My Church Program

How could we possibly survive without church classes and programs? These programs are doing wonders at building biblical literacy and vibrant spirituality in the lives of the overwhelming majority in church, right? ;-)

"Life beyond institutional forms of church feels freeing at first, but then you start wondering how you are going to grow without all the sermons and classes."
