Hello dear readers. I'm sitting up listening to Barack Obama's Iowa speech and just have to say this (I will explore it more later).......
There truly is wonder working power in black preaching.
If you get a chance to do this.....sit back and close your eyes and listen to Barack make that speech again. (tape it if you can.....I'm sure C-SPAN will replay it over the weekend) The cadence of it alone makes it soul stirring. But then listen to the words. Really listen. Whatever your political stripe, these words formed an inspiring speech.
More later.....stay tuned..........

Martin Luther King was able to give such inspiring speeches is because he was likely raised on the King James Bible. The King James was written to be read aloud because only a small percentage of the people in Elizabethan England could read. Shakespeare died about five years after it was published.Anyone who wishes to be an inspiring orator should consider reading the King James aloud for practice.
