How many times do we hear this statement when a terrible event has taken place? The father of one of those lost in the airplane tragedy in the French Alps earlier this week used these very words. Whilst it is very important for airlines to put in place measures to minimize such events, it is in fact not possible to cover every eventuality. We live in a fallen world where we are all effected by sin at work in our lives. We have inherited from Adam and Eve sin, which pervades our lives even though we try to present a moral life to the outside world. Now and again someone who has the lives of others in their hands cracks and behaves in a sinful manner. What is amazing is that it does not happen more often. This is God's grace to us, His undeserved favour.
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.
