Sunday morning, Rev. Nancy TannerThies continued exploring our monthly theme of courage. The challenging times we live in call for courage, and we may be tempted to hear that call as a demand for public daring, but Rev. Nancy suggested going back to the heart of what courage is --- the word literally comes from a root meaning "heart." The courage we need most is a heartfelt engagement with a deeply-felt life, continuing day to day even though the path leads through vulnerability and confusion. She invited us to consider our ideals and values side-by-side with what we do each day, not only as corrective self-guidance but to give ourselves credit for the small but vital acts of courage we live out day by day.
