"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).

Oh My God!

"Preaching the Bible is neither a Lecture, nor a motivational Speech.
The goal of a lecture is that you leave with a page full of notes.
The goal of a motivational speech is that you leave with a page of action steps.
The goal of a truly preached Bible passage is that you leave worshiping. There is a time we put the pen down, and the eyes look up and you stop saying, "Oh my God, look at all I've got to do for you!", and we start saying [in worship], "Oh my God, what you have done for me!"
