Some thoughts about the box:

- Thinking outside the box is popular for adventurous people.
- Thinking inside the box is safer.
- Somebody made that box for a reason.
- Thinking outside the box is safer than acting outside the box.
- Thinking outside the box can reveal why the box was made.
- Acting outside the box can reveal the same, but with battle scars.
- Sometimes the box was perfect when it was made, but where it should be has shifted since then.
- Ignoring thoughts from inside the box or from outside the box is detrimental, almost as bad as acting on all thoughts from both inside and outside the box. Never ignore something just because it's safe and never ignore something just because it's new. Also never accept something without question just because it's safe or because it's new.

Wow... that really makes a lot of sense... some thoughts to ponder.

Can we put God in a box? No.
So, if I want to be more like Him...I have to say I never want to fit in a box either. 😁
