"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).

The I Don't Know What To Do Christian

Don't  fret, we the church created you. 

"The worst indictment of the failure of our institutions is that people no longer have any idea how to follow Christ without rituals and guidelines from the outside. Instead of being equipped to follow Jesus, they were lulled to spiritual passivity by a well-planned program. This, more than anything, accounts for the emptiness people feel and why they go look for something else. But even then, they will naturally seek a set of activities to sustain them."
