Carrying the Message

Many times I have heard a speaker bring out a thought or two which might have stayed with me, had not the leader gotten back up and said, "When I left off, I had just flunked out of college . . ." and continue on in HIS story, then introduce his other speaker, and when he resumed, go right back to his story again. By the time he "got out of the service" I had lost the thoughts of his speakers!
