It's like how in a sermon no one asks questions!<br />What I do disagree with is this statement: "Never forget that what you learn here is only good if you use it in order to win others to Christ" I think that there are other GOOD uses for communication than winning others over to Christ...that's me being nit picky.Michael Au-Mullaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237672783415011871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877293283340041555.post-70776759626024708842009-05-13T18:58:00.000-04:002009-05-13T18:58:00.000-04:00"Hum, maybe it's encouraging to know that people a..."Hum, maybe it's encouraging to know that people agree?"<br /><br />It is, but this really isn't for that. This is what I've been thinking about today, so it goes in my online journal (of sorts)<br /><br />"know how to edit it yourself (unless you want me to give specific comments, which I'd be glad to do, whatever). Hm...if your audience is your judges, it seems a little strange for you to be telling them the attitude they should have in competition"<br /><br />This, above pretty much all else, is the reason I question whether or not I'll do the speech next year. Because... it's not written to the judges. I need to find a platform where I can address competitors without actually participating in the competition :/Micah E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04907206672766347150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877293283340041555.post-79131862087949412342009-05-13T18:39:00.000-04:002009-05-13T18:39:00.000-04:00Oh, this is good!

(I wonder though...if a person knows that a message is important- see, I don't doubt that you care about what you're saying here- is it useful for someone to comment on it? Hum, maybe it's encouraging to know that people agree?)<br /><br />"Communication on the other hand means that both of us are presenter and audience." I never thought about it that way before! :)<br /><br />The conclusion is excellent, as well.<br /><br /><br />In terms of making the speech "sound good"- of course you know how to edit it yourself (unless you want me to give specific comments, which I'd be glad to do, whatever). Hm...if your audience is your judges, it seems a little strange for you to be telling them the attitude they should have in competition- they're not the ones competing. What are you trying to convince them of? That the league is incomplete without the right goal? To encourage their kids to speak the good news?Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016095442292487001noreply@blogger.com
