Presentation

I was sitting in my English class this morning, and a girl went up to the front of the room to give a PowerPoint presentation on an author she researched. In one of those "could not have asked for it"-epiphany moments, I saw things a little differently. The girl, like a large portion of students do, read word-for-word what she had putu on each slide. She turned her back on the audience, and read what she had prepared. Her monotonous speech did not help anyone believe she cared at all about the subject, either. And I began to think about how much of Christians are like this today. They have their nice, safe little belief all written out, and when prompted about it, they give the same monotonous speech that has absolutely no meaning to them. It is merely verbatim what they have always said. This kind of presentation is as meaningless to the audience as it is to the presenter.
