Children love to sink their teeth into sweet and delicious fruit. This story and teaching will have them sinking their hearts into the Fruit of the Spirit.
If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague...
~William Safire, "Great Rules of Writing"
