Talking in Church

Got/had/ to talk in Church today on faith. There was a youth speaker, and then Deni. At 1:30pm, 30 minutes into a 70 minute meeting, Deni says: "....and finally...." I froze, but she went on for another 7 minutes or so. Then we had the Primary sing a VERY SHORT SONG. I got done about 2pm, closed and sat down. Amazingly enough, we got out 10 minutes early.

I was pretty funny (at least, I thought I was) When I started my talk, I said something like this.
I have to apologize for my wife, although she had an excellent talk, she must not be feeling well, as I know she can talk longer than she did today.


The thing I hate most about speaking in church, everyone feels like they have to come up afterwards and tell you how much they "enjoyed" your talk. Here's my theory. Everyone "enjoyed" it so much, because they were sitting in the congregation, not having to speak.
