Don't you think that we have less screamers than we used to? It seems that many preachers are slowing down and just preaching.

I don't mind some excited points being made, but I know some who scream start to finish.

Way to much.

and Yes I agree there are less screamers these days.

Maybe they just book them all (the screamers) for General Conference.

Here's the deal.

I have preached at least three times a week for the last 9 years.

That adds up to around 1400 sermons that average around 35 minutes.

That total does not incude personal bible studies.

I am thinking I may have overused my voice.

For the past two months I have struggled mightily with my throat/voice.

It comes and goes in spurts.

However, today it is so bad I can barely speak.

Have you guys ever experienced this?

What do you do to combat it?

Thanks for the good advice, folks.

I set an appointment with the doctor for Wednesday.

Meanwhile, I have decided that I am going to invite guest speakers in for the next little while.

Pray for me, because I'm not used to the whole "sickly" thing.

I really like preaching in my pulpit.

And Prax, I don't have any other preachers in the church to help me, yet.

Oh, and Free will tell you, I'm really not a screamer at all.
