- ... people's attention a little bit today when I spoke on Micah chapters 3-5.
- ... track of time as well - I thought I'd have 40 minutes, but a late lecture and a lack of pace from the front meant I had closer to 30. Unfortunately I rushed and spoke for about 34.
- ... my place in the notes as I hurried, resulting in confusion for all.
- ... the logical flow because I skipped over too many linking sentences.
- ... my old Micah notes. I keep notes from every sermon I've ever heard in a big filing cabinet, and late in the stage of preparing my talks (often just before I start writing) I get out old notes and outlines for a look. This time, I took them out of the Micah folder but got distracted and when I went back to read them, couldn't locate the notes anywhere. I've spent probably a good few hours over the past month searching high and low to find them. Very frustrating.
Found...
- ... my mojo. Thought it was gone after Sunday night. For the most part, it's back.
- ... solace in the fact I have next week to recap what I missed and it works well with that talk anyway.
- ... out how hard it is to shorten a talk on the run, especially 10 minutes worth.
- ... my old Micah notes, finally. With just one talk left to finish writing, they showed up today... in Sarah's inbox. Probably the only place in the house I didn't look. David Allen wouldn't be happy about this.
