I don’t generally use notes when preaching.
This usually works well.
Except for yesterday.
Having thought of a topical matter which I thought illustrated the point I was making I launching into recounting the topical matter and then realised that I had completely blanked on the point I was trying to make.
Incorporating material on the fly is fun, but this time I’d run up a blind lane and had nowhere to go.
A couple more seconds of searching around and… nope, still nothing.
Blank. That’s never really happened before.
So I had to stop, tell everyone that I’d lost track of my train of thought, go back pick up my original stream of thought and a minute or two later the relevance of my original digression reappeared.
Everyone was highly amused.
One of my daughters said she was following and knew where I was going and was going to call out and tell me, but didn’t (wisely, I suppose).
