Recently, I wrote an article for my Examiner column, "How Do the Scriptures Spell Communication?" where I shared several scriptures that began with the letters of the word communication. It was an enlightening look at some of the most important lessons on communication that the Bible teaches.

On Wednesday, I'll share some other quotes that hold great lessons for us. You may notice that some of these are new. I...

Now my given name is Joanne. Not very unusual, but I guess the way I pronounce it over the phone with my accent made it sound like something else. I would often have to say it three times and then get, "Oh hello Jillian!" UGH! And don't get me...
