"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).

God As A Person Or Ideology?

"When I listen to people talk, including myself, I often find myself wondering if we even believe that God is a person. You know, a person: a dynamic and living being with thoughts, emotions, intents, and actions. Most people speak as if God is just and ideology: a set of concepts, arguments, guidelines, and categories. 

God is presented as something that people need to be convinced of, as opposed to someone they can be introduced to. 

God is something that needs to be explained, as opposed to someone to be encountered. 

God is something to be understood, as opposed to someone to be known.
