"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).

Air-Brushed Faith?

"Some clergy have simply "airbrushed sin out of their language. Having substituted therapy for spiritual discernment.....
" Sociologist Robert Bellah makes the same point decrying the tendency in evangelical ranks to "thin the biblical language of sin and redemption to an idea of a Jesus as the friend who helps us find happiness and self-fulfillment."
.....responding to the market means more than 'airbrushing a word here or there; it changes the very character of the church."

The Body, Charles Colson.
