Un-Biased Journaling

One of my Seminary classes is requiring that we reflect upon a question, preferably by journaling about it each week.

It is from my preaching class titled "Finding Your Voice in Preaching."

This week's question is "How do your giftings and your personality show up in your voice as a communicator of God's word?  What is good and what is not so good about that?"

So I'm looking for some un-biased help.  I can answer the question quickly for myself (and will do so when I'm done posting this) but that will cover about 1 day worth of journaling and I probably wouldn't think much further.  So if you  know me, regardless of if you have heard me communicate God's word from a pulpit, what do you know about my personality and my giftings and how they affect my communication in general.

Any observations would be appreciated, both good or bad, or indifferent.

You have a great memory and have a good sense of humor. Both of those help in your storytelling and in making your sermons down to earth and relating to daily life.

You have a strong sense of self, understanding the gospel and purpose. How well can you communicate that to those that don't have the same levels of understanding? Also, how do you preach to different audiences, what about someone who has a similar sense of self and purpose but a different understanding?
