annoying habits...

I was doing some practice preaching yesterday and I was told I say the words "you know" to much, as well as pacing back and forth. I consciously know im doing the pacing thing, but the "you know" is new to me. I had alot of fun writing sermons and I enjoy preaching but I dont want to have annoying habits that would distract anyone listening.

I know we all at first have our habits, what are some of yours and how did you overcome them? what steps did you put in place to make sure you broke yourself of these? anyone want to help me out?

hello all!

so I'm neglecting blogging right now, sorry all. Ive just been so busy with life lately. I have been up in Oregon helping my dad with his business, now I'm in Santa Cruz planning youth ministry outings and the creation of unhooked student ministries. Sunday I start at my new church, I'm really excited and scared to death at the same time. I feel confident that God has placed enough youth pastors in my life to make this a successful life.

If you are reading this please say a prayer for me, im starting my new church sunday and although im ready I could use the prayers. this is going to be an exciting year for me... God is going to do amazing things in fairfield!!!!
