I'm a virgin speaker

[TexasMark]

Oh man oh man oh man. I was asked last night if I would speak tonight. The person who was scheduled to speak became ill.

I gladly said that I would be honored, but I gotta tell ya I am nervous as hell. This will be my first time to tell my story, and even though I don't have problems speaking in front of people, I'm a little worried I won't fill up the 45 minutes.

Wish me luck

[Dallas]

Wishing you luck! As my sponsor would say to me "Be sure to welcome the newcomers!" That's the most important thing that I'll have to say.

It's not nerves, Texas. It's the Good Lord shaking the truth out of ya'! Like Dallas said, welcome the newcomers and let it flow. You'll do a fine job.

Hub, we didn't hear back from him.
Did he survive it?

I remember the first time I gave a talk. It nearly killed me!

I'd say he did. Bet he helped someone, too.

I can relate, Dallas! I remember my first Lead, too, and my Sponsor telling me, "Just get up there and tell the truth!" I still here that voice today, no matter where I'm speaking, or who I'm speaking to.
