"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).

Struggling With The Paraphernalia Of God!

That phrase... "paraphernalia of God"
Wow!

"For many years I was to struggle with a subtle problem which now I can describe as that between God and the paraphernalia of God, if he will pardon me for using the expression. There seemed no relation between God and all that had been presented to me in teaching at school or what was being offered to me in religious life....... There was nothing to impart real richness."
