"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).

An Untiring Missionary In Ecuador

Peace Corps workers in Ecuador speak about a missionary they got to know who had been serving faithfully for 27 years just five kilometers frim their town.  This was in 1962-1963

"Bill and Alice have an enthusiasm and love for mankind that has endured through more than a quarter of a century of disappointments and setbacks. They have seen countless Americans come and go with ideas and projects. Many of these projects have fizzled and patience has often run out. But Bill Boyes stands high, walks with purpose, has a firm grip on his fellowmen and an enduring faith in God. He is untiring."
(The Barrios Of Manta. Rhoda & Earle Brooks)
