"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).

True Worship Is Only Shared Among Those On Mission?

Notice the second half..... wow oh wow....

"Worship is the summit of the church’s life, the fount of all ministry, the shared solidarity in community that makes fidelity to Jesus possible. Worship, as an expression of the discipline of the secret, is not for dilettantes seeking entertainment. It is only for small groups of clearly committed Christians who comprise an intense community on the basis of their common, intense loyalty to Christ; and their expression of the meaning of that loyalty and community is communicated to and with one another in worship.…"
(Brennan Manning. The Signature Of Jesus)
