"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).

Give Grace To The Graceless?


"So I’m going to ask you to do something really, really hard. Maybe the hardest thing anyone can do.

I’m asking you to extend grace to people who didn’t extend grace to you. To show grace to the graceless. That doesn’t mean you pretend nothing ever happened. Grace doesn’t rewrite the past; it offers the future the chance to be free from it. It doesn’t mean you don’t confront those who wronged you. Grace doesn’t conflict with truth; it offers healing for what truth reveals. And it doesn’t mean you are right about everything and they are wrong. Grace knows that two people can experience the same event in different ways."
