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.

Or see my concerns about caffeine mentioned earlier. That could explain at least some of the "screaming?"

So glad my hubby is NOT a screamer! I hear the same message three times on Sundays; if he were a screamer, I couldn't bear it.

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?

Wow, 35 minutes WBTM

Maybe I should clarify, No spicy food several hours before preaching/speaking. Like stay away from it on Wednesday and Sunday if you speak those nights.

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.

Was that this past Wednesday or next....if this past, how did it go and let us know what he said...or says if next week!

I'm okay.

Here's the deal.

I was told I need to rest my voice, get more sleep, and lay off of caffeine.

I have guest speakers scheduled for the next few weeks. That is totally unlike me, but hey, desperate times require desperate measures.

Thanks for thinking of me, Bro.
