Birthday Bash: 10am -Heritage History

Teresa Roth from Heritage History will be sharing on the Art of Eloquence Facebook fan page this Birthday Bash half hour.  Here is what she is offering as a prize for this half hour’s contest:

Of all the stories which every child should know those from the Bible should be first. They are part of the instruction of the youth that cannot be neglected without a serious omission in his culture and development.

The author of this volume has tried to write the great story of the people of Israel so that children can understand it and love it, without simplifying the words of the Bible into too familiar a style. He has adhered wherever he could to the very words of the Bible but at times has not hesitated to change them in order to strengthen the telling of the story.

It is hoped that this volume will fill a long felt want for the nursery where the Bible story is a fitting end of the day; for the Sunday school where young children need to be told in simple words the story of the heroes of whom they are studying; for the every day school where the Bible is too much neglected and whose stories should be included among those that belong to the inheritance of every child; for the story teller everywhere who seeks for those great narratives that at all times are worth telling.

To win this prize, you will need to post a comment to this blog post answering this question:  Name two of the roles ineffective communication can play in elementary students’ lives that are listed on our Elementary page!

We’ll be picking a winner from among the correct answers and contacting you via email so make sure you leave your email address on your comment post.

Do you know an unsung hero?

Monday Q of the Wk. Here’s how it works:

Each Monday I ask a thought provoking question about life.  Pose the same question to your blog readers on your own blog along with your answer to the question.  Then come back here and post a comment with a link to your blog post so we can all read everyone’s answers!  It’s been a lot of fun getting to know my readers and their readers and so on and so on…

This week’s question:

Do you know an unsung hero?

JoJo’s Answer:

The other day I posted about the deaths of two big pop stars.  One of my readers and my dear friend, Carla Ives, said that while she was upset that these two died so young, she was also upset that the death of the rich and famous seemed to be more important to the world than the deaths of the many soldiers who keep this country safe.  I got to thinking also about all the other unsung heroes who aren’t fighting for freedom but for their families and friends.  Mothers and fathers who are struggling to raise children in a difficult world.  Sisters and brothers who help take care of their siblings due to a terrible economy.  Christians living God’s Word helping friends and neighbors.

So I challenge all my readers out there. If you know an unsung hero, sing his praises on your blogs. Do so BEFORE they die so we can celebrate their life and what it means. Then come back here to Communication FUNdamentals and share that with my readers too.  Let’s communicate about something important that too often seems to go unnoticed or unvoiced!  Our unsung heroes!

God bless all the soldiers who keep us safe, God bless their families who struggle without them, God bless all the other unsung heroes too. The fathers who provide for their families and take time for their children, the mothers who sacrifice so much to do what is right for their children no matter the cost, time and trouble. The sisters and brothers who help when their families are struggling. God bless all our unsung heroes!

Do you know an unsung hero?
Please post your answers here as a blog comment. Then post this question on YOUR blog and come back here to link your blog post so all of us can read about YOUR readers!

Tribute to our military heroes!

I wanted to create something to post for Memorial Day that blessed and honored our fallen heroes.  One thing lead to another and I found this staring back at me from across the computer.  It struck me in an instant that our military are so much like our Savior.  They are willing to give everything for the rest of us.  Some did!

Others are out there right now and are ready and willing to give everything for our country and others they are protecting.  And their families are heroes too because they are sacrificing so much so that these brave men and women can  be willing to sacrifice all.  This is for each of them.  From everyone at Art of Eloquence, we express our deep appreciation and send our prayers!
