Busy bees again

Tonight I went to take some more sunset photos, which I promise at a later date. I also observed the bees again. I am appalled that, although I have lived in the country all my life, I am so ignorant of nature. The tree the bees were in was covered in blossom. I know trees have to have blossom to reproduce and yet I have been unaware of these blossoms on most trees. I discovered they also had a lovely scent, which no doubt was attracting the bees. The sun went down at approximately 9.10p.m. The bees continued to work in their usual industrious way. I tried to be patient and wait for them to fly home but my patience ran out at 9.45p.m. they were still there as I left. By then it was quite cool but they obviously intended to get every possible second of the day before going home.I also have a rather nice photo of one of these bees, which I also promise to show you another day. Perhaps you would like to see some more of my photography here:-The Devon Lane in Early Spring

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.

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.
