Another thing I tend to do, and I don't know why, is that I tend so speak with a louder than usual voice when I give blessings. I guess I want them to feel the confidence I have in the power of the priesthood.

I was reading a book by Denise Mendenhall with my wife last night, where she quoted a scripture in Doctrine and Covenants 50:32-33, which says,

" 32 And it shall be given unto you, power over that spirit; and you shall proclaim against that spirit with a loud voice that it is not of God--

" 33 Not with railing accusation, that ye be not overcome, neither with boasting nor rejoicing, lest you be seized therewith."

The part about the loud voice jumped out at me. It ties in directly with why I tend to speak priesthood ordinances with a loud voice. I believe there are times when blessings should be positive, direct, given with power, assertive, sometimes bold. (Except in the temple.) Of course, there are times when mildness and gentleness with love unfeigned is called for!

Don't . . . Quit . . . Trying!!
