"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).

Never Alone?

" To walk with Jesus is to embrace both the pain and the joy of life in all of its fullness, even in the face of death - for resurrection has no meaning without the tragedy of his death. The life of a follower is not lollipops and roses, and living for Jesus doesn't mean that you'll never encounter storms. But a commitment to Jesus does mean you'll be able to ride out the stormy seas, knowing that when you share in Jesus' resurrection life, every tragedy can and will be endured and overcome - and knowing as well that when you follow Jesus, you'll never be alone."
