"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).

Four Ways God Speaks - But One Message, One Voice


"There are four ways in which God reveals His will to us through the scriptures, through providential circumstances, through the convictions of our own higher judgment, and through the inward impressions of the Holy Spirit on our minds. 
We're these four harmonize, it is safe to say that God speaks. 

For I laid lay it down as a foundation principle..... that of course his voice will always be in harmony with itself, no matter in how many different ways he may speak. The voices may be many, the message can be but one. If God tells me in one voice to do or to leave  undone anything, he cannot possibly tell me the opposite in another voice. If there is a contradiction in the voices, the speaker's cannot be the same."
