One sentence blogposts – Thought bytes for the mind.

Barefeet-footprints-sand Decided I'm getting too verbose, overly loquacious, verbally profligate, semantically extravagant, expostulating far beyond the exuberance of my usual verbosity (as my Gran used to say – she did, you know!).

Too many long posts, methinks.

So for the next week I'm only going to do ONE sentence posts.

Is there enough in one sentence to kick-start the mind?

We'll see.

Here are the rules:

  • After today, and for the next week, only one sentence with no comment before or after.
  • An image included to complement the words.
  • Each sentence must come from a different author.

As a practice run:

"I have loved to hear my Lord spoken of, and wherever I have seen the print of his shoe in the earth, there I have coveted to set my foot" 

(John Bunyan, 17th Century)

    Methinks that’s a good idea.
    Like your current reading list too, and the new pic (have you lost weight? or just gotten better at photoshop?)

    Nah! If I knew how to enhance photos I’d make myself look taller, not lighter! The reading list is part of my current research interest on theological education and ministry formation as you’ve probably guessed. And Diarmid McCulloch is, as I expected, a superb synthesis of informed opinion and the kind of erudition that gets academics a good name.

    My response – one word – ‘Amen’- to both the idea and the quotation – great photograph!
