Skit Guys funny video

Monthly Funny: Each month this year, I'll try to find you a fun, humorous, and educational video or meme or article on one aspect of speech communication skills.  This month, I'd like to share one I posted several years ago.  This talks about how difficult it can be to speak in grace, especially when dealing with little kids.  Both grace and patience are needed for this communication act. So without further ado...here are The Skit Guys YouTube video called "Grace, We Just Don't Get It."  Enjoy the giggles this month!  Feel free to post a comment with any videos you found that use humor to share an important communication lesson.

Merry CHRISTmas from Art of Eloquence!

It's CHRISTmas Eve--a time for reflection, family and praise for Christ.  Since The Year of Faith over on my newsletter is just around the corner.  (Be sure to subscribe to this blog for in 2014, I'll be back with a weekly column to educate and amaze!)   I'm taking these last few weeks of 2013 to share some praise and worship with you. This video touches on one of my pet peeves about CHRISTmas time.  There is very little Christ in CHRISTmas anymore.  Most of the Christmas movies talk about it being all about family and love.  A nice concept to be sure, but certainly not the focus of CHRISTmas.  Some of the Christmas movie line up doesn't even talk about...

Day 12: Carol of the Bells

For the fourth year here on the AoE Countdown to CHRISTmas is an instrumental version (piano) of Carol of The Bells by George Winston. I love the scenes depicted in the video and his version of this song is simply gorgeous. I could listen to this for hours. I love the way it changes throughout the piece and comes round again. It's a more creative version than I've heard. We all need to slow down about this time of year, just about ten days out from CHRISTmas to listen to the sounds of CHRISTMas and remember the beauty of what Jesus did. I'll have another great video tomorrow. Until then... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If you liked this post, read…Seven Reasons Why YOU...
