"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).

Lord Of Not Much!

"If children are taught by parental example, that attendance at worship is one option among many for Sunday (such as sports, shopping, recreation, and so on), God, in their minds, will eventually be numbered among the options. It is impossible, though, to understand God as both Lord and option. If He isn't Lord of the Lord's Day (Sunday), He will unlikely be accepted as Lord of much else.
Yes, church attendance matters, and we cannot "be just as good Christians apart from church attendance."
