Alternate bemused and thoughtful and people just conclude you have superior intelligence. You don't even have to say anything. They just walk away impressed. <BR/><BR/>Either that or they think you have gas.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085892548519396404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-26215004695639232662009-03-12T07:24:00.000-04:002009-03-12T07:24:00.000-04:00Well, the other side of the coin is the old saying...Well, the other side of the coin is the old saying that we should never talk faster than our minds can think!<BR/><BR/>Maybe just eliminate a few thoughtful pauses and meaningful looks? ;-)Jim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634460171128306060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-10855208062098425892009-03-12T07:14:00.000-04:002009-03-12T07:14:00.000-04:00Wow.

I actually stretch it into 25 minutes or so.<BR/><BR/>And now that I think about it, and can verify that - when I first started preaching - I used to write across the top of each page "talk faster. talk faster." Maybe i need to start doing that again.<BR/><BR/>We rarely go over the 11:07 stopping time though (10:02-11:07).danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088260285661911833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-7746566857847578852009-03-11T19:57:00.000-04:002009-03-11T19:57:00.000-04:00OK, so we also now have a range for how long you'l...OK, so we also now have a range for how long you'll make your parishioners sit before they can rush out for their after-church brunches. Given the <A HREF="http://www.write-out-loud.com/quick-and-easy-effective-tips-for-speaking-rate.html" REL="nofollow">average speaking rate of 130-200 WPM</A>, that means you will be droning on for approximately 11-17 minutes. Talk fast. Tummies are grumbling. :o)Jim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634460171128306060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-60287408698916396932009-03-11T16:47:00.000-04:002009-03-11T16:47:00.000-04:00Oops.
