If ever there was a time for a Children's Ministry
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"
