"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 The Church Supplants Jesus?

The last line says it all.... consider he wrote this in 1988....

"In recent years, preoccupation with styles of worship—traditiona| or renewed, organ or guitar, hymns or choruses, incense or balloons, recited or spontaneous prayers, old or new translations of the Bib|e—have upstaged the central drama of Calvary and Easter morning. Style overshadows substance, form transcends content, the church supplants Jesus. (Brennan Manning. The Signature Of Jesus)
