It's A wonderful Life

Today I had a great time.  I took a friend to the local town to do shopping.  We had lovely weather all day.  I bought groceries.  Lots of fruit and vegetables as I am on a diet.  So far I have lost 8 pounds in about 10 weeks.  It's best to lose weight slowly as if you go too quickly it's liable to go back on. We had a lovely drive there and back in beautiful countryside.  We are so fortunate to live where we do.  God has indeed blessed us.
In the afternoon I walked in the same stunning beauty, with a friend.  We were walking for an hour.  Great company.  This continued as another friend came to see me.  It was her birthday.  In the evening we went out for a meal with five other friends.  We had a very pleasant time at a restaurant at our local airdrome.  We saw lots of planes taking off and landing and a few parachutists coming in too. I haven't had a girl's night out like that for a long time. We came back and sat in the garden for another hour until it became a bit cool.  The very hot weather has calmed down the last two days.  What a lovely day.

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.
