They speak with an air of authority which only serves to make them more distant and irrelevant to their congregations.<br /><br />God bless you.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-80447459364716862682019-03-22T09:42:28.327-07:002019-03-22T09:42:28.327-07:00You have reminded me, Martha, of the worst such bo...You have reminded me, Martha, of the worst such boring speaker. She was a lecturer about Chemicals and the various hazards and dangers in handling them. She went on for so long that in the depth of my despair I whispered to the guy next to me that she should be labelled an "Irritable Substance". Sadly, my comment stuck and she was known as such amongst the rest of the students.<br /><br />God bless you, Martha.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-83364091922150468772019-03-22T09:41:56.434-07:002019-03-22T09:41:56.434-07:00I never understand why so many preachers speak to ...I never understand why so many preachers speak to the congregation as they think God would speak.

Love this phrase, Victor! And yes, unfortunately, I've endured some monotonous speakers in my time. One that still stands out is my college professor who taught Romantic Writers.
