A Perfect Baby

An Australian couple went to Thailand and arranged for a 21-year-old surrogate mother to have a baby for them.  The baby turned out to be twins, a boy and a girl. Unfortunately the boy had Down's Syndrome and the Australian couple rejected him but took the girl.  I wonder what happens if the girl developes a problem? The boy needs medical treatment for a heart condition which is often the way with Down's Syndrome, but on the T.V. he looks very bright and adorable. The surrogate mother is looking after the boy.  She needed the money to give her older children a better life.

  At present Thailand has no laws which relate to being a surrogate mother.  It seems to me that as we make laws for things once thought unthinkable we make life more and more difficult for ourselves. No laws can put this right but laws can mitigate the situation and make provision for those who are suffering.

  One of the problems highlighted here is that people today want to have perfectly healthy babies.  Because of this human beings, who would have wanted to experience life, albeit with a problem. are aborted as soon as that potential problem is discovered. I know of babies aborted because they were likely to have tunnel vision later in life.  How wicked is this.  I know someone with tunnel vision who has led a very happy life and is still very active in her seventies. For this they abort.

  It is long past time to return to God and repent for these evils that we by our silence allow to happen.

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.

Always wanting something new

Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump.  Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again.  This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different.  At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas.  Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people.  Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
