Remember in high school when you had to write a persuasive paper? It involved choosing a side and then arguing (in a good way) the finer points in an effort to persuade others to see your side of that particular issue.
Blogging is a little like that. Bloggers are passionate people who find their voice on the internet. It is next to impossible to be objective in blogging because every blogger brings a unique set of circumstances to the dashboard of their blog. We write in order to convince.
So, today I bring you posts that are overtly persuasive in nature. You may not agree with them, you may agree a little, you may wholeheartedly embrace what they write, but all will make you think. And that is the best part of persuasive writing, in my opinion…
the opportunity to think.
First up is a post from a second generation homeschooler entitled 10 Reasons Not to Home School #4: You are the Best Person to Teach Your Child. Second generation homeschoolers always fascinate me. While you may not agree with everything Rebecca writes on her blog, The Present Mom, you will definitely be given the opportunity to think.
Next up is a post from Family, Faith & Fridays:
In Michele’s post Where Did Modesty Go?, she gives a call for parents to protect their children’s modesty on the internet. She agonized over actually posting about this topic. I’m sure she would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.
And lastly, a post from Elizabeth at Yes, They’re All Ours entitled How Do You Look At Your Husband where she asks, “What do people see on our faces as wives when we look at our husbands?”
Now it’s your turn to make us think!

Thanks for hosting this week, Amy! Today I linked up my favorite graphic displaying the differences between herbal preparations (tinctures, tonics, teas – Oh my!)… and also two of our favorite summer spicy recipes: Spicy Beet and Kohlrabi Salad and Spicy Herb and Spinach Burgers. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!

What a surprise to see my post on How we Look at Our Husbands featured here this week! Just wanted to thank you for offering this Link Up and for reading and mentioning my post! 🙂 Certainly made me happy this morning! 🙂
I’m still thinking about the same topic this week . . . and blogged about Trading in our Magnifying Glasses for Rose-Colored Glasses! It makes a huge difference in how we see our husbands!
Thanks for featuring the other links, which were great reads! I’m afraid I went crazy in the comments after reading the first post! LOL! Didn’t mean to write an entire blog post in the comments — it just happened! 😉
Blessings on your week, my friend!

I keep trying to read your post, but the site keeps redirecting me to some other site saying the domain might be for sale…?
Even when I type in “yestheyareallours.com” it redirects to http://www.picanise.com/ and I can’t access it.
Any thoughts?
Anticipatorily,
Lovey~

Thanks for the heads up. I am looking into it . . .not sure what has happened or how to fix it. I’m assuming I’ve been hacked . . . but I don’t know how to keep my blog from being redireccted. I’ll let you know if I ever get it fixed!

Amy, – I am really humbled and honored that you featured my post 10 Reasons not to Home School #4 . I know we may not agree on all methods but I know we do agree on our desire to inspire our children and love our Lord. I want nothing more than to spur thought and debate and appreciate the chance to do so!
I pray blessings on you today!
Rebecca

One of the worst things we can do is think we have all the answers. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Blessings,
