Worst Place
I think I just gave the worst sacrament meeting talk that's ever been given. Well, maybe not the very worst ever, because at least I didn't say that Jesus couldn't do anything himself because he didn't have a body. I guess mine was the second worst ever. I'm trying to look on the bright side, though. Kelly suggests that maybe this experience will help me be more empathetic towards other people who look like bumbling idiots at the pulpit, but I think that the real silver lining is that the bishopric will think twice before asking me to speak again.

I need more details on what could possibly have been so terrible.
Seriously, more details might be necessary before I will buy into this. I consider you a very articulate person, so a little sacrament meeting talk couldn't possibly have you "bumbling" behind the pulpit.
There was definite bumbling. When I stood up behind the pulpit I couldn't even remember what I was doing up there. Of course, like a genius, I announced that out loud. Then I remembered that I had notes, but when I looked down at them they had been translated into some blurry language that I didn't know. So I awkwardly blurted out what my topic was, hoping that it would kick my brain in gear to remember what I had planned to say, but my brain was no where to be found.
Oh my. To set the record straight, Bryant is being much too hard on himself. So it might not be the talk that gets him promoted straight to President, but he did make some really good points. ...I do have to admit, though, this blog post made me laugh.
