"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).

Christian Kind Of Different

"..... the Christian concept of an exclusive veneration of God,
the trans-ethnic and trans-local religious identity,
the central role of books and learning and distinctive and challenging forms of behavior within their ancient context.

The glimpses into the first three centuries may even inspire
contemporary Christians to find their identity and negotiate
between social assimilation and difference."
