talk-atrocities

about a month ago a member of the bishopric asked me to give a talk in church on july 14 (today).  i agreed, and he said he'd get back to me to confirm that, 1) i would be speaking, and 2) what the topic was.  i never heard from him, and the incident faded from my mind.  fast-forward to last night at 10 pm (when i'm putting the bulletin together for sacrament meeting) and see that i am giving a talk after all.  color me shocked.  so, i put something together and gave a talk today.  it went pretty well, but it was a 12-hour turnaround from learning about the talk, picking my topic, and putting together a cohesive 15 minutes.  yikes.  super glad i inherited my dad's "last-minute pressure test" genes.
