"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).

World Is Not Out Of God's Control Ever

God’s omnipotence is a good reminder to us as believers that when the
world seems like it’s spinning out of control, feels like it’s descending
into chaos, it’s not. God cannot be bound by another source or power
superior to his. The world, whatever else it may seem like, the world is
not spinning out of control, God is sovereign, we may have confidence
that he has not been overpowered, and it gives us strength to walk
with faith in those times that appear mysterious to our limited
perspective. When we don’t see all that God sees, it is good to know
that God has not had his control or his power wrested from him
against his will. Whatever is coming to me, whatever is taking place in
my life, is taking place under the authority of God’s loving hand. And
I can take confidence, even when I can’t explain my circumstances
that I know the God who sustains me and walks through this with me.
— Dr. Robert G. Lister
