Putting People to Sleep 101

I have to give a talk in church on Sunday. Most people end up saying that they ended up being happy about giving a talk, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I will only be glad when it’s over. I put some thoughts together and when I practiced saying it aloud, I realized that I am an extremely boring speaker! I don't know how to make anything funny when I’m talking about a house of prayer and a house of fasting. Plus, almost everyone in the ward is a returned missionary and I’m just some dope trying to say something they haven't heard before. Yeah, right. People usually like hearing stories, so I thought, "hey, I'll tell a great personal story." Only one thing wrong with that, I don't think I have a personal story about prayer or fasting. Maybe I could just make one up or I should actually do some real research and find a true story. Either way, I’m going to have to write another talk. I think I should start out by saying, "So, when brother Carter asked me to give a talk I was like, hey man I don't think so, " then I would sit down. hahaha, too bad that doesn't take up my whole 9 minutes that I’m supposed stand up in front of the entire ward for, feeling like, what’s the phrase, oh, yeah, a puss head. Hmm, I’ve never used that phrase before, but I don't think I would like feeling like a puss head.
