Communication FUNdamentals

Can you add chaos to Grace Talk Soup?

It was a chaotic and colorful Grace Talk Soup this morning!  You should listen in.  Despite everything it was a valuable time spent in fellowship with my guest who taught us how to share about stranger dangers with our young children without scaring them.  But what went on behind the scenes was pretty scary to ME! It started off just like any other Grace Talk Soup.  On the Menu was to be  Lorrie Flem from TEACH Magazine with her 3rd attempt at the 3rd installment of the "Habits of Today's Wise Woman".  Then was my dear friend Tamara Walker of MomRN Radio show.  However, technology had other plans for the show and it was, to say the least, unusual.  Lorrie has had a family emergency and a computer crash that had prevented her from joining me on the show twice before, but today she was struck a third time.  She ended up all ready to go but waiting for some information from me via email that came a full hour after the show aired!  The email took an astounding 12 hours to arrive in her inbox!  I believe they call that instant communication which is kind of like fast food that takes 35 minutes! My second guest had some technical difficulties calling in to the listener line. Nobody could hear her for the first 30 minutes of the show.  Poor dear had to call back about three times whilst I verbally danced around entertaining the more than 20 live listeners who had tuned in.  During the show, a person identifying himself as a teen admirer of mine began texting inappropriate and irrelevant details in the chatroom.  He came back into the chatroom at least once more at which time I decided to ban all new chatroom listeners from texting in the chatroom and made a public apology for his comments.  Once I was able to apprehend the audio thief and tame the chatroom graffiti monster, Tamara gave us some solid information on how to discuss this important issue with our children: young and teens alike!  You should tune in and listen to the recording.  We all worked really hard to bring it to you!  ROFL From JoJo's Purple Crayon... Hey!  Did you enter our contest yet?  Enter by midnight PST on Sunday, March 25th!
