Friday’s nights Tn., camp meeting was different, first off there was no sound during the music so I cut off and rebooted and only then a rare sound but I stayed with the speaker hoping it would clear up. As I watched the speakers face became more intense the word fierce came to mind and this morning the word fierce was still lingering there so I looked up the definition. Here I will list just the nicer definitions, forceful, unrestrained, blustery, gusty, very angry ready to attack.
This is not said in a critical fashion other than if I were teaching speech and communication as I did 30 years ago I would ask the speaker to watch a recording of his message with the sound off and ask himself what his facial expressions were communicating apart from what his voice was saying.

Jim, I thought the same thing about the lady who spoke Wed night.

Yvonne: In trying to get the meaning of your reply, I got the feeling that you thought that we had gone too far in our criticism. Please be assured that I love the church and those who serve christ. However down through the decades there has been no way to give reasoned feedback. Sometimes habits and expressions build up in our culture and we are no longer aware of how they appear to others; after all we are supposed to be trying to reach others. Now social media gives us a way to give feedback that might be useful. One of my classes at Lee as well as at other colleges was to listen to ourselves and endure the comments from the Prof. and other class members with the idea of trying to learn the best way to get our points across. So I will always try to speak with grace and with the hope of improvement, never outright criticism.
