Words Worth the Work


“54% of U.S. adults 16-74 years old – about 130 million people – lack proficiency in literacy, reading below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.” 
Forbes, 9/9/2020

 

Writers, Bible study leaders, pastors,
Remember this: for millions of folks, reading is not fun. It’s hard work. Make each word worth the effort. Keep it short and simple.

    Shirlee, You wrote, “Make each word worth the effort. Keep it short and simple.”
    I promise you, although I made be long-winded at times, every single word has been prayerfully considered.
    Having said that, I have to add a postscript and it is a really a prayer from Psalm 19:14.
    “Lord, May these words of my mouth (and the words that I type to others) and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
    Amen & Amen
