Writing into the Day Elizabeth Martin In this series, I will be reading mentors texts and providing you and your students some quickwriting and/or discussion-based writing ideas. Writing can seem very challenging, especially to students who haven’t had a ton of practice. So, providing short, consistent and relatively low-risk opportunities to write can make all the difference in eliminating the intimidation factor that often comes with on-demand writing. I usually like my students to start our sessions by beginning with a quickwrite or, what I like to call, Writing into the Day. Coming People, The by Charles F. Dole (1845 - 1927) LibriVox Dole briefly sketches the history of life, and shows how it has a definite direction - toward the survival of the kind and gentle people. It's a challenging, and quite persuasive argument, and also a much needed one in light of the dog-eat-dog theories out there. Dole shows that in our evolving society, our traditional understanding of "survival of the fittest" needs to be updated. A book that was way ahead of its time, yet so suited to it. Some may argue that - since he was writing The Coming People before the first two world wars - that he was obviously wrong. However, his argument remains valid given current scientific evidence cited in such books as "Evolution and Empathy", and "The Age of Empathy", and it's noteworthy that he wrote another book after World War I (see, A Religion for the New Day, 1920, where he states that while society is still quite barbaric, he retains his powerful conviction that it "is improving and improvable". ). Also, Dole points to the many flaws of his ti Removing the Stumbling Blocks: a Deeper look at the Writings of Paul Household of Israel Temple of Jesus Christ Greetings brothers and sisters, for the month of January, we will be presenting audio presentations concerning the writings of the Apostle Paul, which are often misread and misinterpreted. In fact, the misinterpretation of Paul's writings can become a "stumbling block" for those who do not read his scriptures closely and carefully. What is a stumbling block?...an obstacle or hindrance to progress, belief, or understanding. In this case, an obstacle or hinderance that prevents one from fully understanding, believing or progressing in the laws of God. Many churches of this world have used the writing's of Paul to justify the following ideas: 1) "the laws of God are nailed to the cross;", 2) "Sunday is the modern day Sabbath;" and 3) "all animals are God's creatures therefore we can eat want we want." We will dispel these false ideas and take a deeper look at the writings of Paul, explaining its true meaning.
