"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).

Christians With A Bar Too Low To Inspire.

"Multitudes are now turning to Christ in all parts of the world. How unbearably tragic it would be, though, if the millions of Asia, South America and Africa were led to believe that the best we can hope for from the way of Christ is the level of Christianity visible in Europe and America today, a level that has left us tottering on the edge of world destruction. The world can no longer be left to Mere diplomats, politicians, and business leaders. They have done the best they could, I know that. But this is an age for Spiritual Heroes - a time for men and women to be heroic in faith and in spiritual character and power. The greatest danger to the Christian church today is that a pitching it's message to low."

- Dallas Willard. The Spirit of The Disciplines.
