Powerful speeches by Harris and Clinton

Below are links to Kamala Harris and Bill Clinton’s words at the DNC in Chicago during the week.

They are two powerful speeches, inspiring words. It would appear that Clinton may not use a teleprompter and has his notes in front of him on the podium.

Anyone who talks in public can learn much from the technique and skill used by both these people.

I had the good fortune of hearing Bill Clinton in person. He has the genius of making the listener feel they he is talking directly to them.

Do we ever get a hint of that in our churches?

It’s also worth noting that both Harris and Clinton used few or any cliches.

A memorable line from Harris, she heard it from her mother: “Never let anyone tell you who you are, tell them who you are."
