"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).

I Do The Church Thiny, So I'm A Disciple, Right?

"On New Year's Eve, a sincere “Christian” may decide the time has come to live like a disciple, so he or she resolves the following: I am going to get into the Word every day, join a prayer group, find a spiritual guide, do more spiritual reading, go to church more often, increase my devotional time, experiment with fasting, and shout, “Praise the Lord!” upon awakening and retiring. Many disciples do these things, yet do not follow Jesus. Though unmistakably religious, they never have submitted to the signed lifestyle."
(Brennan Manning. The Signature Of Jesus)
