Since tomorrow's Grace Talk Soup podcast is about humor and we do a segment that is a parody of I Love Lucy (I Love Language) I thought I'd post this clip from one of the Lucy shows where Lucy tries to communicate with her mother in law.
It can be pretty funny to communicate when you don't speak the same language. I know because my MIL is from Mexico! She does understand English fairly well and I understand Spanish a bit but neither of us speaks the other's language. This makes for some pretty funny miscommunication and we play a little charades as well!
Grace Talk Soup is our weekly podcast where my co host and I share tips and techniques for more effective communication in various situations life brings us. Carla and I a serving up God's Word with side order of Grace and Humor each Thursday morning at 8am PST/11am EST. Our live show has some great fun as the audience participates in much of the show!

Just in the last few months we have talked about subjects such as Defending the Faith, 21 Days to More Godly Communication, Cultural Differences in Communication and How to Talk to Someone Who is Grieving! And the feedback has been...
Yesterday I posted about the 911 call that told of Michael Jackson's death. Many have asked me to comment on his life, but I really didn't know enough about him to do that. I do believe he was a troubled man and I know he didn't know the Lord as his Savior. I did wonder at the differences surrounding the death of both of those pop stars on Thursday. Farrah Fawcett had a very strong Christian faith (at least at the end of her life.) and I do believe it helped to keep her grounded and I am sure it was a comfort to her as she was going through the struggle known as cancer. Michael Jackson was not a...
By now you have all probably heard that on Thursday two pop stars lost their lives. Farrah Fawcett lost her three year battle with cancer Thursday morning and Michael Jackson died Thursday afternoon of an apparent heart attack. One of my readers asked if I would be posting about Michael Jackson and, at the time, I didn't think I would be. Communication FUNdamentals is mostly about humor and communication skills. Other than a few media stories in recent years, I haven't really followed Mr. Jackson's life so I wasn't going to comment. However, shortly after his death, there appeared to be some conflicting communication about the cause of his death coming from the transcripts of the 911 tape. It appeared...
Ever wonder what it would look like if farmers were like car salesmen? Here's a glimpse from the folks at Good Clean Funnies List.net: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A farmer had been taken advantage of several times by the local car dealer. One day, the car dealer informed the farmer that he was coming over to purchase a cow. The farmer priced his cow as follows: # Basic cow........................... $499.95 # Shipping and handling................. 35.75 # Extra stomach......................... 79.25 # Two-tone exterior.................... 142.10 # Produce storage compartment.......... 126.50 # Heavy-duty straw chopper............. 189.60 # Four-spigot/high-output drain system. 149.20 # Automatic fly swatter................. 88.50 # Genuine cowhide upholstery........... 179.90 # Deluxe dual horns..................... 59.25 # Automatic fertilizer attachment...... 339.40 # 4 x 4 traction...
