Submitted by Craig N. Bline of New Smyrna Beach, Florida
The speaker talks too quickly for my ears to hear, my brain to take in and process, learn and enjoy the teaching that God's word has to offer. I may try another version or it will be back to the text; I have yet to decide but I do know I will no longer be using this version.
