4 to read

Some are from well-known writers and blogs…

Others are from blogs you might have missed…

All are posts posts that stir our thoughts and stretch our beliefs…

In this week’s 4-to-Read…

A theme develops… a theme about strength and worry and the condition of our hearts…

  1. Is courage just for big events? Or do we need it for everyday life?
  2. Where can we find the strength to just “keep on keeping on”?
  3. Worries… ever wake up in the middle of the night with a heart full of worry?
  4. How can we rid our hearts of envy?

Read posts from Leah Ness, Ronja Oksanen, Missy Aaker and Rosilind Junkic…

1. Courage…

But are those the only times we need courage?
