"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).

Gospel Doesn't Need Help

If you preach in such a way as to get a rise out of people, with the hope of then pointing them to the Gospel, you've misunderstood the purpose of both preaching and the Gospel. The Gospel, rightly preached, raises its own ruckus. It doesn't need your help.
- Les Hardin
