Presentation Zen

So, here is the first blog post that we're required to write for the class. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about being "required" to blog, but I understand that there needs to some requirements for the class. It might also be a good motivator for me to stick with blogging. Since I'm also a preacher, it's easy for me to ramble on about nothing in particular for quite a while.

Which reminds me...
One of the textbooks for this class is Presentation Zen, by Garr Reynolds. So far it's been an interesting book, and even though I'm a couple chapters in one of the main points so far has been "What's the one point you want your audience to remember?" Often, I find myself trying to fit too many things into one sermon, and maybe people don't come away with anything memorable.

Perhaps this advice might be applicable to more than just putting together a presentation. After all, isn't that what a sermon is?

Oh, here is a random picture to meet the requirements of the class as well.
