"A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver." Proverbs 25:11 This week on The Talk Talk Show on the Communication Comedy Network, I'm asking the question, "If communication is so important, why isn't everyone studying it?"

"The wise in heart accepts commands, but the chattering fool comes to ruin." Proverbs 10:8 Usually about three hands go up. One says she took a speech...
Many coaches and self-help gurus tell folks to believe in themselves and they will accomplish great things. But God says believe in Jesus and you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!
