Saturday's Seven

Here are seven articles that are well worth reading.  They either encouraged me or challenged me, some did both.  Two of the articles focus on Saint Patrick, two on spiritual preparedness, one is on ministering to the hurting, one is on preparing to pray publicly, and the last one offers helpful suggestions for guarding your pastor.
