For instance, when I go off script, I tend to say "you know" a lot. It gets annoying for my hearers. As one of my beloved mentors, Dr. Haddon Robinson (who passed away a few weeks ago), used to say, “While ministers spend hours every week on sermon construction, they seldom even give a few hours a year to thinking about their delivery.” As always, Haddon had a good point.
