"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).

An Authority We Must Forever Bow To

"The church is not over the holy scriptures, but under them. In the sense that the process of canonization was not one where by the church conferred Authority on the books, but one we're by the church acknowledge them to possess authority... . And why? The books were recognized as giving the witness of the Apostles to the life, teaching, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus and the interpretation by the apostles of these events. To that apostolic authority, the church must ever bow."
