Six Words Is All It Takes

I read an article in today's Daily Press about a recent trend of writing one's memoirs in exactly six words. (See www.smithmag.net)

I remember participating in this exercise in college (my first time around).
Although I had forgotten the exercise, I never forgot Strunk & White's command to "Omit needless words!"
I'm constantly proofing my papers to narrow things down and make them less wordy.

I've been playing with this exercise in my head.

My first thought? Life is hard. God is good.
