My Voice Quavers

Luke Ford writes

I want to hear, “Luke, you are so big!”

I like to walk into a room and feel big. I like to go out with girls and feel big. I like to walk into shul and feel big.

I hate it when I feel small. I hate it when I walk into a room and feel little. I hate it when girls make me feel tiny.

I want to be big, bad Luke.

So I was watching the video from my Loma Linda University appearance and what struck me most was how my voice quavered. I guess I was scared to death. Frightened. Well, I knew that, but I didn’t realize it was so obvious. I wanted to be big bad Luke and I sounded so tiny and vulnerable.
