We have a new feature here on Communication FUNdamentals called Interview with a Communicator. We all communicate every day of our lives and communication touches every aspect of it. So...each week, I'm going to bring you a blog interview with someone in a different ministry, business or time of life to share with you. Each will share the mission God has them on and how effective communication plays an important role. We begin with a friend I met online. BeckyJoie Thombs Oakes is a “multiple hat wearer” and a free-lance writer. She spends her time volunteering to work with youth as well as lay-counseling ministries at a local Christian counseling center. She has three sons. She lives with her husband,...

There was some miscommunication between my technology and their technology and, well, it wasn't pretty. I'm...

That means all the funniest communication tips, articles, videos, quotes, pictures <------ (notice anything funny about that?) and other creative fun I can muster. Why?

I wrote...
