"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).

Contemporay Static

"To avoid becoming an obedient lapdog or a rebellious hippie, leadership that is missional, relational, and incarnational must learn to distinguish between that which aids in the transmission of the gospel and that which is merely contemporary static.

 A missional, relational, and incarnational church gladly uses all the technological advances of culture to help it witness more effectively to a technological world. The only authentic inculturation is “inculturation from below,” in which “below” includes whatever is on the streets, from the poor and oppressed to popular culture."
