This month marks our 7th birthday! Art of Eloquence has now been in business for over 7 years. I'm one of those "if one is good, 10 thousand MUST be better" kind of gals! I love helping folks and I love to give. Each year I began by asking myself how much more I could give my customers, blog readers, newsletter subscribers, etc. Unfortunately, in order to support my habit, I'm afraid I had backed myself into a busy corner. Earlier this year, my dh asked me to slow down the ministry portion of Art of Eloquence. It was hard for me, but I went from sending out three newsletters a week to just one and writing a weekly Foot...
Technology can be used for good or for evil. It can be a source of miscommunication and a reason society has been lax in learning to communicate effectively. However, it is also a tool that may be used to aid in effective communication and strengthen relationships. So yesterday I was at Walmart with my husband and my son doing our weekly shopping and getting a few Christmas gifts on our list. As I was coming back from sneaking a gift for my son (Shhhh! Don't tell him I told you, now!), I saw my dh on the cell phone. It was my 19 y/o sophomore college girl who now lives 1800 miles away! We are a tag team, my dh...
A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. Four worms were placed into four separate jars. The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results: The first worm in alcohol - Dead. The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead. Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead. Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive. So the Minister asked the congregation - What can you learn from...

So the other day my dd emails me to tell me her cell phone died. Great! She's 1800 miles away at college with a dorm phone that doesn't call out and her brand new cell phone dies. The good news? It's still under warranty. The bad news? I can't get Verizon to tell me what I REALLY need to do to take advantage of it! Communication: It's what customer service is made of! Yeah...so I'm on the phone to Verizon when they tell me to have my dd look up a Verizon store in her area and go there to see if they can repair it. If they can't, they will tell her what to do. Sounds simple enough, right? ...
