Frederick Buechner Bored Quotations

To be bored is to turn a cold shoulder to engage all that God is and has for you in the moment.

To be bored to death is a form of suicide.

I don't go to church all that regularly, and one reason I don't is very often when I go I am bored out of my wits. I find myself being addressed by preachers who, I assume, were led by some initial passion for Christ, for the truth, for God, for "the More." That's what got them there. But that has gotten buried under all the debris of having to run a church, of concerns.
