"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).

Can We Play As A Faith Person?

"The mark of the early church was not, “See how well they work!” but, “See how well they love!” The prevalence of love signals the presence of play. When faith becomes all about beliefs and works instead of relationships, then what we’re really in love with is our own thoughts and opinions and doings  — not an image of God, but an image of ourselves. A play ethic does not suppress or deny the hardness of life, nor is it a flight into the arms of cheap grace." (Leonard Sweet. The Well Played Life.)
