		<description><![CDATA[When my grandson, Cole, was about three, he had trouble saying some of his letters. His older cousin, Ellie, had had a similar problem at that age. But even though I sometimes had difficulty understanding what Cole was trying to say, it was clear as a bell to him. One day as we drove by a Chick-Fil-A restaurant, I said, “Cole, did you know Ellie used to call Chick-Fil-A, Chick-Er-Ray?” I heard him slap his leg as he laughed. “Ha! Ha! Elwee used to call Chick-De-Way, Chick-Er-Ray!”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remembering a person’s name has always been a challenge for me until I’ve written it down a dozen times or more. Remembering a person’s face and details about their desires and goals simply stay with me without effort. Therefore, I work hard at remembering names of at least three new people that I met before any speaking engagement. Why? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love to sing. I admit, I’m not all that good at it—certainly not recording artist material—but I love it. You should hear me in the car when I’m all alone and the music is turned up loud. I sing with abandon, praising God with my whole heart. And I know that regardless of how I really sound, He thinks my voice is beautiful. But it’s a different story when I’m in front of the church. I want to sing with abandon, I want to praise God with my whole heart. But instead, my throat tightens, my voice trembles. And even though I know I shouldn’t, I remember the day they laughed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the fourth installment in our It’s a Question of Pride Series, partially excerpted from my book, Seeing Through the Lies: Unmasking the Myths Women Believe. For Christians, change is an ongoing process, constantly prodding and convicting as we seek to become the woman He has planned for us to be. Answering these questions helps me get back on focus when I get off track.]]></description>

 The presentation has been customized for the event and the audience. Now is the time to practice…but not before a mirror!

		<description><![CDATA[Who is it about? So many times, there are conflicts in life because it’s all about us. It’s all about what we want, what we think, and how it will affect us. It’s about our opinions, our goals, and our way of doing things. When I began this journey of sincerely trying to be more like Christ (instead of just trying to follow rules), I found two verses that influenced my choices.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Christian communicators, we don’t need to be speaking to twenty people or a full auditorium to make an impact. In fact, we don’t need to be doing all of the speaking to be known as a meaningful speaker! An impact filled moment can take place in small groups or even in a one-on-one exchange where we as the official speaker do little speaking.

		<description><![CDATA[Over my next five posts we'll be asking ourselves some questions as we continue to look at the issue of pride, partially excerpted from my book, Seeing Through the Lies: Unmasking the Myths Women Believe. This week's question is, What is my motive? The answer to that question is often complex, and I hate to admit it, but the battle is a life-long process. Even after years of evaluating my heart, I continually struggle to know my motives.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scarves adorn women fall, winter, spring, and summer. They’re the latest fashion trend.

  As speakers, all of us can feel more comfortable leaving a few scarves in our hotel room while leading a seminar or giving a keynote address rather than leave behind fine jewelry. Some scarves have as much bling as a silver or gold necklace.
