"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).

Following Jesus Half Way?

“There are plenty of Christians to follow the Lord halfway, but not the other half. They will give up possessions, friends, and honors, but it touches them too closely to disown themselves.” (Fifteenth—century mystic Meister Eckhart)

‘‘In some people religion exists as a
dull habit, in others as an acute fever.” (Philosopher William James)

"Jesus did not endure the shame of the cross to pass on a dull habit."
(Brennan Manning)
