Did you really want to DO that on Facebook?

A while back, I posted, Did you really want to say THAT on Facebook? so when an obscure Facebook "friend" posted this on my wall, the idea for Did you really want to DO that on Facebook? was birthed. It happens occasionally on Facebook.  I call it the I've Got a Christian Cause so the Ends Justifies the Means Disease.  This is where people send you a friend request and then never interact with you.  They never reply to or "like" any of your posts, never answer when you post on theirs, never post on your wall UNTIL...they begin asking for help with their ministry/business. I don't mind if, once in a while, one of my Facebook friends lets me know...

NEW: Interview w/a Communicator

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.

Christian Pizza

  Have you subscribed to Communication FUNdamentals’ RSS Feed?  Don’t miss a post! x It's Tax Day and we all need a giggle.  This Friday Funny is brought to you by my dd and her college friend. My dd emailed this to me the other day from college.  Her friend had ordered pizza to be delivered to the Baptist Collegiate Ministry and it came with this receipt.

Now I'm sure that a Christopher (or Christine) must be the manager of this pizza establishment, but I think it serves to remind us that God...
