My One Shot at Being a Commencement Speaker


In a moment of either weakness or desperation — maybe both — the president of the university where I teach asked me to be the 2010 commencement speaker. Not at another school, mind you, but our own Point Loma Nazarene University. I thought about it, consulted with my advisors, and did it anyway. Here it is. It’s 10 minutes.

    Loved it, Dean! Had to retweet and post it FB. Cracked us up and inspired us at the same time. Not easy thing to do, that.

    Bravo! :)

    Yes, but a HUGE truck will have to deliver it. This is the anti-kindle edition!
