(100 Word Wednesday -- 'Short and Sweet is Hard to Beat!')
What can be said in 100 words? Literature scholars might call this a pericope, albeit not a large one. Jesus said every jot and tittle will be judged, an admonition of gravity. Words have weight and too many of us use too many of them, meaning each of them lose value.
Too many words. How do we learn simplicity? Put differently, why are we addicted to more, to most, to “never enough?” Malcolm Muggeridge helpfully broached the idea for me when he confessed, “I was never satisfied.”
Can I be satisfied with silence, with letting go the last word, with stopping?
