Thanks to everyone's feedback, largely on
Facebook, I've come to a decision about how I'll be sharing the very short ministry I mentioned recently.
For the next 16 weeks, or longer if more come to
me, I will be sharing one of these pieces, what I call “maxims and
aphorisms”, each week. I will aim to do them on Saturdays, around
lunchtime (UK time). Hopefully this will mean a lot of you get to
digest and reflect on them at the weekend, though that of course
supposes that Friends (and others who are interested) tend to have
Monday-to-Friday jobs, which is a bit of a problem. However, I have
to pick some particular time to do them, and that's it.
Each one will be presented as a text overlay on an
appropriate image. That will be shared directly on Facebook, Twitter
and Reddit, and posted here as a post in its own right. On platforms
that make it reasonable to do so, and particularly as posts here, the
picture will be accompanied by a plain text copy of the actual
ministry. This is because some people find that easier to read,
especially if they are using assistive technology such as a screen
reader.
They will also all be posted, in text form, on a
page on this blog. This will be added to, week by week, as the
individual items are posted. It will serve as an overall collection,
for quick reference, and will also have links to each individual
post.
I'm feeling quite excited about sharing these with
you, and I hope you will find them worthwhile.
