"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).

Deconstruction Of Religious Mindsets

"We are full of bible knowledge, we are all spiritually activated, but, we are humanly and relationally dysfunctional. We don't know how to be human beings well together. We need to be skillful humans, not just walking bible encyclopedias, with "organic" church insight.... They don't need your insight, they need your love, patience, endurance, your long-suffering....
Part of this deconstruction out of religious mindsets isn't to change our meeting formats. It's to be anew type of human being. A human being that actually pays attention. Who actually cares. Who actually listens.
