When you've lived as long as I have, 66 years, you see a few changes in life. Whereas as a child I would rush out to see a car pass, as it only happened rarely, now I own a car and take it for granted. When I was at primary school in the U.K. the teacher one day started to talk about the year 2000 approaching and we all worked out how old we would be. I wasn't sure I could make it to 53. But here I am. How amazed I would have been if that teacher could have told me that at 66 I would be writing articles that could be read all over the world only minutes after I had written them. Truth is surely stranger than fiction.
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.
