So, if you speak like you blog, you must be quite good at it. <BR/>I think everyone is nervous when they public speak, but some know how to use it to their advantage more than others.netablogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701837355683136230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269648634709183279.post-68815784936216545542008-06-16T18:17:00.000-07:002008-06-16T18:17:00.000-07:00Um . . . maybe?

I have met some people who think they are terrible but I would rate them an A+. Others think they are great orators and teachers but actually I would rate them overall a C-. When one judges oneself, one's ego or insecurities almost always color our judgment. <BR/><BR/>I find that the best way to gauge how you are doing at speaking is to find at least one or two people who will give you specific feedback. Admittedly finding even one person to give you honest and specific feedback is almost impossible - more then one is even harder. But these people are out there. Also, another problem is that everything is so subjective. I might love a speaker and you might hate him. There is no universal good/bad when it comes to speaking (just like art).Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292824227963056711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269648634709183279.post-19110450998526258962008-06-16T07:11:00.000-07:002008-06-16T07:11:00.000-07:00Actually I didn't have to say you're a good public...Actually I didn't have to say you're a good public speaker; this is a blog, I could've ignored the topic altogether!<BR/><BR/>I mean it seriously, I have never thought of you as a poor public speaker.<BR/><BR/>JayJay Boazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499002361030996927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269648634709183279.post-32749060714896844272008-06-16T05:21:00.000-07:002008-06-16T05:21:00.000-07:00I thought you were good up there, didn't see any n...I thought you were good up there, didn't see any nervousness at all.<BR/><BR/>I noticed that we have speakers until the end of summer at church, and it says to expect at least a year to find a new Pastor. <BR/>what will you be preaching on?
