Do you ever wish you were rich and famous. I used to have a vain dream that I would be a
concert violinist!! I do play the violin
but not really well. I used to teach it
to recalcitrant children, some of whom were pushed into it by their doting
parents. If I really look at the life of
a concert violinist I realize I would not have been happy. There is the constant practice and the
travelling to different venues. It would
tend to wreck family life. There would be the continual pressure to play to a
high standard. To succeed you would have to make a god of your music and where
would that leave room for the one true God.
No, I am glad I have been a mediocre violinist and gradually over the
years I have learnt to put God first though there is still room for me to
improve in this. Beware of having an obsession in your life which keeps you
away from God.
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.
