I've decided to post all the talks I've given in church over the years, at least the ones done on the computer. I like having another repository for them. I've always enjoyed preparing and giving talks--it gives me a chance to organize my thoughts and research different topics. I'm not very articulate off the cuff, since I'm an extrovert who talks and thinks at the same time, instead of mulling things in my head first and carefully choosing words. Writing helps me to do the necessary mulling. That means I read my talks, but luckily, I inherited my dad's enthusiasm and oral reading ability. I'm always a bit nervous sitting up on the stand and when I first get up to the mike, but that fades quickly as I engage with the audience. I'll post them in reverse order chronologically.
