"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).

“Our present disunity cannot be God’s will

"We have come a long, sad journey from the first century when pagans exclaimed with awe and wonder, “See how these Christians love one another!” to the twenty-first century when all over the world nonbelievers dismiss us with contempt: “See how these Christians hate one another!” We have deprived the world of the only witness the Son of God asked for during the supper of his love. “Our present disunity cannot be God’s will for us; it is a scandal to angels in heaven and human beings on earth.”

(Brennan Manning. The Signature Of Jesus)
