Does getting prepared and giving them get easier as you go on? Ouch. I've sat through a few dry ones before, but at least the grannies were listening. :)For those maths outreach lectures I'm doing, I spend about two hours on working out the mathematical bits, and something like twenty on making it approachable to people in high schools. Doing the illustrations, looking for something that's a good "wake up" remark or interjection, timing everything… and that's a lot of work.
The problem with today's sermon I have is that I wasn't exaggerating. I could feel how tired was the priest. He talked like someone unaware there's anyone listening. It was all kinds of wrong, even those devout grannies looked disinterested.
