Today has been very busy, I’ve had to juggle several things.
I helped out a friend this morning which was easy because it just meant
travelling down some pretty country lanes in glorious sunshine, popping to the
village that has a petrol pump or two and then going for coffee at a garden
centre. On our return we watered the
plant pots my friend had planted a couple of weeks ago. In the afternoon I
played indoor bowls for two hours and promised to check arrangements for a match
tomorrow when I got home. This is where
less than perfect came in. I promptly
forgot about the match. I went in to
watch T.V with my friend. We particularly
wanted to view “Tribe” about Ethiopians still living in huts. It is fascinating to see how like us they
are, which does not surprise me, people are people. This programme showed a teenage girl acting
up. The young people there had all got
mobile phones but had to go to town to recharge them. All this fascinating
stuff had kept my mind away from bowls match, but when I came in to my flat
there was a message on my phone and I immediately knew it was reminding me
about the match. Although it was late,
10 o’clock, I rang the other team and found that all was arranged and we could
expect just the right number of people tomorrow. I rang the friend who wanted to know the numbers
but she had obviously gone to bed, so I left a message on her phone for the
morning. I hope I didn’t wake her. So I’m
not perfect, I don’t remember everything, but all turned out well, such is the
goodness of 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.
