Echo


Yesterday as I was lecturing for the umpteenth time in my teaching career, something happened that I assume happens to all teachers or ministers every so often. I caught myself listening to myself.

It is very uncomfortable, comparable to hearing oneself on tape. You pull back and say, "I sound like that?" It made me wonder if all my students were hearing me just as I sounded to myself. That made me feel sorry for them.

Much better to teach without this personal feedback.
