Christian Communication Training
My cohost Carla Ives AKA Ethel the Editor, asked a question on her blog today. Thought I’d ask you all as well. If you were old enough like me (or if you studied this period in history), what were the first words spoken on the moon? You can answer by posting here or go to her blog and answer there. Also Carla has some interesting news on a new Pro Life ad coming out. Go check it out!
WORDY WEDNESDAY
Help! Ethel the Editor not only took over Carla’s blog today, she hijacked mine, to boot! The only problem is our dear Ethel only left me the words and NOT the answers. To find out the meaning of these words, follow Ethel’s blackmail note below: It mysteriously appeared on my blog sometime in the middle of the night!.
TO: JoJo
FROM: Ethel the Editor
SUBJECT: Wordy Wednesday
Sorry, JoJo, but your blog is mine today. bwahahaha!!! And get this. . . so is Carla’s. I’m gonna stump your readers today. How? With E-words!!! You write e-books, you and Carla send way too many e-mails, you send out an e-newsletter and the best thing. . . Ethel starts with “E”!!!!! So here’s five great E-words for you and your audience. The only problem is, to see what these words mean, you will have to go to an online dictionary or, the easier way, just go to Carla’s blog: http://lifeloveandlunacy.blogspot.com . . . oh, excuse me. . . I mean ETHEL’S BLOG!!! Here’s the words. I’m betting that YOU don’t know what they mean. Maybe some of your readers do? I’m betting that your smarty pants daughter, you know, the almost sophomore at Vanderbilt University knows them all. . . so under no circumstances are you to show this post to her!!! If you do, I just may have to hijack FIMM next time!!!
(1) epexegesis
(2) epigone
(3) epigeal
(4) exiguous
(5) expunge
REMEMBER: The answers can be found at any online dictionary site or at Carla’s blog. . . or make that ETHEL’S BLOG. . . http://lifeloveandlunacy.blogspot.com
Watch out, JoJo. . . Ethel is beginning to love blogging and I may claim more than one day in the future! The next time you get a memo, it may be from Ethel the Editor, GUEST BLOGGER at ARTOFELOQUENCE.COM!!!

I Love Language

Lucy and Ethel loved language and so
they decided to teach on a humorous show
how to say what you mean and mean what you say
and edit your words in an eloquent way!
Good communication: bless those around you
and a word aptly written never fails too
so come one and come all from near and from far
and learn what great language lovers we are!
Join Lucy and Ethel each Thursday morning
For “I Love Language” and gracious warnings
Then you can say as success builds in thee
I love language and now it loves me!

If you’ve listened in to Grace Talk Soup in the last few weeks, you’ll know that my co host, editor and dear friend, Carla Ives, is going through a tough time right now. Her husband was diagnosed with cancer and it’s already been a long haul for her family. Ray, just went in for a proceedure that will tell them how far the cancer has spread and then they will be deciding on a treatment.
Carla has a fabulous sense of humor and a very active imagination. She wrote one hilarious blog post about her feelings and I thought it would make a perfect Friday Funny for Communication FUNdamentals. It is hysterical but it is also a testament to how God gets you through and how you can use communication as a means to help you heal.
Ray and Carla have been blogging about his cancer experience to help others who are going through a tough time whether it be health related or not. Take a few minutes and read her post. You will laugh and be inspired!
NOTE: A God thing! I designed a graphic for the cancer cells that she beats up in her imagination. Carla told me they look very much like what she pictured!
If you want to hear more from Carla, AKA Ethel the Editor, tune in to Grace Talk Soup Thursdays at 8am PST/11am EST.
In honor of our guests tomorrow who wrote an enormously funny and poignant Dr. Seuss like poem about the CPSIA law we will be discussing, Ethel and I wrote a poem about our new segment, “I Love Language” on Grace Talk Soup. Here is only an excerpt. You’ll have to tune in tomorrow to hear the rest! But you’ll really want to hear their poem and why this law is so confusing and dangerous.
