Merry Christmas from the voices of CCN!

As many of you know, my last official podcast with the Communication Comedy Network (Real Communication News-Really Funny!) was this past Thursday.  All the CCN staff and hosts (me, myself and I) got together and created this Christmas card for you complete with pictures as so many of you have asked to see what we "all" look like. It seems so many have also asked what the hosts are going to be doing in 2010.  Announcer Guy has recorded this audio explaining each of our plans for 2010 and our Christmas wishes for all of our listeners. Merry Christmas from the former Communication Comedy Network! "I always wanted to be a stand up comedian, but I'm getting older now so...

Breaking Up

Is Breakin' up really that hard to do? I saw this Allstate commercial where they say they will tell your old insurance company that you are canceling them.  Has confrontation become THAT difficult for folks?  I think it has or they wouldn't have created this commercial. The question of confrontation is included in my Communication Assessment Quiz "Do you shy away from confict?" because many people have told me that they are apprehensive about confrontation in the workplace or between family members or when discussing a political or religious issue with someone.  Others have told me that they are bothered by Ad Day on their Yahoo groups because they feel pressured into buying things they don't want or need.  ...

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...

We're giving away Christmas Gifts!!

Ok this is soooo cool!  I've never done anything like this before. You are going to love this. I got the idea by looking at things closely and finding hidden images in them.  Once I started, I couldn't help but notice them everywhere!  What's this got to do with Christmas?  Well...I found that most everything in life, whether man made or God made has something hidden in it to show us that He loves us.  That he was born to die for us because he loved us so very much. So I created an eBook I call "God is Everywhere" and I illustrated it with pictures where each one has a hidden image to remind us that God loved us...

It's December. Now how did THAT happen? lol

Ok so it's December 1st, 2009.  Wasn't it just January?  Come to think of it...wasn't it just 1995...about two years ago?  The older I get, the faster time goes by.  As my father always says, "Tempus certainly does fugit!"  They say time flies when you're having fun, but I don't remember having THAT much fun! So how does this happen?  How do you go from being a young girl without a care in the world one moment to a 47 year old mother of a college girl and a homeschooled 10 y/o son the next?  As Lucy used to say, "Whahappen?" So Christmas must be around 2 oclock today and 2010 is probably being held on Friday!  Are you ready?...
