It happened at my first church. It happened at my last church. It happened on Sunday.
"You speak too fast for the older folks in the congregation to understand every word you say."
Ugh.
Worse still, i normally have a reminder to slow down, but it slipped my mind last week.
Normally, at the top of each page of my sermon transcript i write the letters "SD." The aim is to be reminded to speak slower and allow what I'm saying to sink in.
Additionally, with the length of my evening sermons lasting an amount that may leave some morning ears short-changed, elongating the presentation isn't a bad thing.
Next time Gadget. Next time...
SD, HWG!
