Car problems

I set off for short mat bowls but my car was making a funny noise. Couldn't get hold of the garage so will see to it tomorrow. so an evening in with the P.C. Is my life being taken over by the internet.Is it a government plot to keep us all in our homes out of the way?
With this title I had better tell you abut the preaching. I am training to be a local preacher with the Methodist church in the U.K. On Sunday I shall take my 10th service. I knew I would like it but I didn't realise just how much I would enjoy it. It takes a lot of hours work to put a good service together and I don't fancy doing bad ones. I don't want to bore people. I want to inspire them and help them get nearer to God and do the same for myself. If you want to see some of the kinds of thing I do take a look at the following. http://www.squidoo.com/MaryMag and
http://www.squidoo.com/BiblePeople I want to get Bible stories on the web because so few people know them any more and they can teach us such a lot about the important things in life. And not just from a narrowly religious aspect. Would love to here from folks.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Constructive criticism

First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.

Section A

I've posted off my work for section A. Now to get on with B. Onward and upward as they say. It does feel good to have completed A, progress is being made.I think my tutor is more nervous than I as to the outcome, but then I am his first student. We are learning from each other.But then that should always be the case. It's an adventure we go on together.The course seems to be suiting me alright but I feel there are a lot of potentially excellent local preachers out there who are put off by the study. Something should be devised to include these good people, we can ill afford to do without them, especially as the numbers of ministers is dropping. What did Wesley do? You don't need a degree, or even A levels to preach. You need a call, and a close relationship with God.
