"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).

Conduit Of The Spirit

"..... we can think about prayer, along with the twentieth-century theologian Karl Barth, as a quest, a journey toward God to ask him for strength and courage to help us be obedient to his will. The Gospels portray Jesus in just this way. Granted, his "journey" toward the Father was not the same as ours, for he was
"the one who came from heaven": (John 3:13 ) and his communication with the Father was not about his seeking salvation but about keeping open the conduit of the Spirit."
