Goin' Weekly with All New Segments!

Due to underwhelming support, we are discontinuing our Communication Comedy Network monthly video program.  Our pilot episode garnered very few views or feedback. Since they are very time intensive to produce, we have decided to put our efforts elsewhere.  To that end, we are going back to a weekly blog post schedule and we have all new categories for you!  Along with Art of Eloquence news, we will be posting on the following topics on a monthly basis: Communication FUNdamentals: Fun communication games, riddles and contests! “Wright” the Wrongs: Short paragraph where you'll be challenged to correct poor grammar, spelling or punctuation! Communication Reviews: Reviews of TV shows, movies, commercials, Facebook trends, etc! Ask JoJo: Submit your communication question to...

What is speech?

Those of you who remember my weekly internet radio show on the Communication Comedy Network will remember my character Professor Wordsmith.  She (I) did the Word of the Week segments.  In 2011, I'm going to be bringing back some of the old characters I played on the show as YouTube videos.  I thought I'd bring her segments here to Communication FUNdamentals for Word Wednesday.

Dear God, about being old...

Last week, I turned 48 and began receiving all manner of old folk's emails and videos, as well as mailers from AARP, The Scooter Store, and Hoverround! This is Mary Maxwell, 72 y/o new client of a program called Home Instead, giving the invocation at a dinner.  Her prayer is delivered with such comedic talent, I had to post it here. It's over 7 minutes, but well worth your time! I admire her attitude and comedic timing as well as her deadpan facial expressions which make the delivery of such timeless humor a joy to watch.

When not all your family is Christian at Christmas

I am winding down my career as a weekly podcaster with just three live shows left to go!  I'll be sad to see it end in a way, because I simply adore reaching out to my listeners and teaching on a live show.  It's been a blast even though it's taken quite a bit of my free time.  (Wait..."free time"? I'll have to look that up again.  I keep forgetting what that is!) This Thursday is a very special show.  Do you have members of your family who are not Christians this Christmas?  Have you tried to share your faith with them this year?  Do you worry about how you'll get along at the family Christmas gathering?  Do they fear...
