Every speech isn't perfect

I do believe that speaking is my gift, but last night when, I gave this speech to the SGA, I didn't kill it. I know when I have the crowd on the edge of their seats and excited about the next words I'm about to utter but I pretty much sucked this one up. #1 reason why is because this message isn't fitted for my audience. I went into to much history that left it dry and left them bored and hanging for most parts.#2 and most important reason, is that I think god is trying to show me that in no way will I be perfect every time I step to that podium. I can't let my sucess at speaking be the reason I am happy during my day because... Every speech isn't perfect!
Here it goes

Hi guys I'm brodrick Thomas as Kirk said... And just like the president of our wonderful institution Dr. Gougue would say..... It's another beautiful day in Auburn Alabama ...and the longer I hang around here that statement tends become more and more true to me....I believe god  to be a artist painting away and making beautiful pieces of art and it seems to
 me that auburn is one of his favorite canvases...he continues to make this place more and more beautiful as the days go by! But I'm not here to state the obvious about auburn's beauty...here to talk about a American coming to the kitchen to prepare breakfast... When making this breakfast their going use a orange orignated from the Mediterranean  a canalope that found it's beginning in eastern Asia, and a watermelon that was born in Africa... A pair of waffles that were created by early scandanavians....they'll probably use syrup derived by Indians from Canada and if they are a Christian most likely they'll sit down to pray over this meal to a Jewish deity. My point is that Nothing about America is orignal besides it's ideas...America has always been diffcult or somewhat a problem.. It was a problem when Christopher Columbus, pilgrams, and immgrants sailed the ocean blue to find it, and they found it even more diffcult to conquer america's vastness when they arrived. Actually America was so difficult that no one ethinc group could conquer her...Native American, European Americans, Asian Americans, African American and others had to all come together to find solutions to problems that they had never been seen before...today we face the same type of problems that have never been seen before and if we want to conquer them as Auburn Men and Women... as representive of this canvas of god. we must do it as one, we must do it as one student body at aubrun, we must do it as one state, as one country and as one with humanity... Cause there is no one person in this room who can solve the problems that this sga group face by themselves ...you must seek each other counsel to move auburn in the right direction, and we must do the same when we leave this place and go into much more bigger problems that awaits us in this world. Last week our football coach took a lot of heat for say that our Clemson win was a, "God Thing." What people don't understand is that he in no way meant for that to mean God loves us  more than Clemson. He meant that this football team faith in God is what connects them to each other. The exact reason when Cam throws a int. Josh Bynes can say I got you man... or why Zach can blow a coverage and Darvin can say don't worry about it were going to drive down and score this time. I'm not saying that y'all have to believe in God to work together but you all need to find something in common to fight for each other..... God bless y'all and god bless this small village on the plains of Alabama.
