An otherwise decent talk yesterday
had to go and read "Footprints in the Sand."
What's up with that? |

There was a talk in my ward marred by "the geese taking turns at the point."

We heard "The Touch of the Master's Hand" (the one about the violin) a few weeks ago. I actually kind of like that poem (embarrassing, I know) but it has been used so much I have never used it in a talk and probably never would.
If I ever did use a poem or story that has been so beaten into the ground from the pulpit, I would preface it with "I know everyone has heard this before, but I would like to read................." |
