"There's always a story to tell, a lesson to learn, emotion to be shared.

Do not withold the lifesaving utterance of a kind, uplifting, encouraging word."

MY NETWORKING SITES

Social Networks is a way to connect to people who know other people who say "oh, you NEED to talk to my friend ______, " because I have a skill or knowledge that fits perfectly into a need of someone or even a group of people.

There is no way to just be in this world all on your own. Just like the famous song . . . "people . . . people who need people."

Add your phrases down here:

I want to use this forum to: talk, communicate, connect, lay it out there, chew the fat, toss it around, shout out, proclaim, pronounce, dissiminate. . .

WITH WHOM do you communicate? WHAT do you communicate? HOW do you communicate?

What's your STYLE?? Let us not forget about the other ways of communicating:

OLD MEDIAsome of my favorites

Crayola crayons -not those cheapy brands- and the BIGGEST box I can get!

Watercolors

Colored pencils

Have pencil; will draw

Ink, crosshatching, layers and shading, use of tone and texture.

Clay - mud works well as a cheap substitute.

Comics section of the Newspaper... now THAT's some good communication... make 'em laugh.

Music, music and MORE music. One of my all time favorite modes of getting a message across.

Poetry, writings, stories and illustrations. If you think it or ponder it, someone else may be inspired by it.

NEW MEDIA some of my favorites

Christian Web Resources Wiki page of some of the sites that I find especially useful.

Crosswalk The intersection of faith and life. This is a resource for Bible study, illustrations, etc. as well as topics which help to apply the Word so that we might walk the talk.
