ONE
“But we urge you, brethren, to excel still more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you” 1 Thessalonians 4:10-11 (NASB) Read the full chapter here:
TWO
A publisher friend shared this GK Chesterton quote with me recently, found in this book, and it’s been ruminating in my mind.
THREE
A quieter life often means a smaller circle.
FOUR
What CS Lewis and GK Chesterton can teach us about friendship.
FIVE
For humanity, it’s been a hard few weeks of violence. Maybe it always is like this, but sometimes feels closer to home than others.
SIX
I listened to these Madeline L’Engle books a few years back, and they might very well be the epitome of living a quiet life.
SEVEN
It’s not lost on me that most of these written words on a quiet life are written near the end of ministry, career, and life. I do not know this author, but it’s a lovely look at “Life From An Older Perspective.”
