Answers.Text: Thanks for this Brad. 
  
  using this code runs through the 4 entries and only displaying the ones that have `body|length > 100`. So sometime this will only display two entries since the other two has `body|length < 100`. What I am trying to achieve is to always show 4 entries.

Answers.Body: <p>I highly recommend to use the fantastic <a href="https://github.com/aelvan/Preparse-Field-Craft" rel="nofollow">Preparse</a> plugin to save to length of your body text in a hidden field.</p>
  
  <p>Create and add a new "bodyLength" Preparse field to your "Artists" entry type. Use this Twig code in the field settings:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{{ entry.body|length }}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To update all existing entries, re-save them by going into Settings → Sections → Artists and click Save.
  You can now simply set up a criteria model to query for entries with a body length greater than 100 like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% set entries = craft.entries.section('artists').bodyLength('&gt; 100') %}
  </code></pre>

  I highly recommend to use the fantastic [Preparse](https://github.com/aelvan/Preparse-Field-Craft) plugin to save to length of your body text in a hidden field.
  
  Create and add a new "bodyLength" Preparse field to your "Artists" entry type. Use this Twig code in the field settings:
  
  ```
  {{ entry.body|length }}
  
  ```
  
  To update all existing entries, re-save them by going into Settings → Sections → Artists and click Save.
  You can now simply set up a criteria model to query for entries with a body length greater than 100 like so:
  
  ```
  {% set entries = craft.entries.section('artists').bodyLength('> 100') %}
  
  ```

  You could do something like this:
  
  ```
  {# Grab all entries with a body > 100 %}
  {% for entry in craft.entries.section('artists').order('RAND()').find() if entry.body|length > 100 %}
  
  {# Limit output to the first 4 #}
  {% if loop.index1 <= 4 %}
          {{ entry.id }}'s body field has a length greater than 100!<br />
      {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
  
  Keep in mind that if `entry.body` is a [Rich Text field](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/rich-text-fields) than any HTML markup (`<p>`, `<span>`, etc.) will be included in that length count as well.
  
  Twig doesn't have a `break` or `continue` tag natively, but if you install the [MN Break and Continue plugin](https://straightupcraft.com/craft-plugins/mn-break-and-continue), you can make it a bit more efficient:
  
  ```
  {# Grab all entries with a body > 100 %}
  {% for entry in craft.entries.section('artists').order('RAND()').find() if entry.body|length > 100 %}
      {% if loop.index1 > 4 %}
          {% break %}
      {% endif %}
  
      {{ entry.id }}'s body field has a length greater than 100!<br />
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
