Interesting night. I spoke at the church today, that was a different experience. I have spoke in public many times; but, have never given a talk at church. I haven't had a chance to really figure out how it went. There were only about 14 people there, a parking problem had prevented some others from coming. Like I said, it was just going to be a small gathering.
A slew of small things kept my Pastor friend busy so he barely got to hear me. That is kind of a bummer because I wanted to hear what he thought. One young lady, that shared dinner with us later, told me that it got her to think about things in a new way, that felt really good, she also said she was coming next week. Well, that's one.
A friend from work came, I really appreciated that as I know he has a church. He recently was told he would be preaching. One lady asked me for the address of my blog, I gave it to her. Her, her husband and their family are in my heart and prayers.
Now comes the anxiety, how many will show up again and how many will not because of what I have said. That is very worrisome. I think people enjoyed my approach, very conversational and people seemed to find it amusing. I like public speaking, I especially like it when I am talking about something that I am passionate about. When I can see in people's eyes that they get what I am saying and it has meaning to them, sometimes laughter is that recognition that we all got it.
Tonight was unlike any other talk I have given in public. Tonight it mattered, tonight was about souls, about people's hearts. I sure hop I did well.
