While Fran is in the other room striving away at preparing her lecture for the Ladies’ Day BSF class, I am recuperating from my presentation last night. I delivered my first ever lecture for the Evening Mens’ BSF class. Our teaching leader suddenly needed to visit his elderly father who had suffered a nasty fall. So . . . as the Substitute Teaching Leader, I was pressed into service.
I have taught a fair number of times but I can’t remember ever giving a 40 minute nonstop talk. I can’t believe how much time it took me to prepare a coherent talk over John 6:22 – 40. I have a whole new respect for those men and women who prepare and deliver lectures/sermons week after week. Now I’m sure it gets a little easier, but WOW it really took it out of me.
Now I start the cycle all over again so that I can cover for him one more week. Read John 6:41-71 & then pray for me as I prepare another lecture for next Monday night!
Later! – Jackie
