Progress with my vision





Today I visited the consultant for a check up.  All is well and my eye is progressing.  One thing he did really helped me.  He took a lens and told me to hold it up to my eye.  What a wonderful moment, I could see.  It proved what I have been telling myself that my eye is in good working order but just has one important missing component, the lens. I still have to wait 4 to 6 weeks for the lens to be implanted, I think it’s because my eye is still too inflamed.  I have a range of drops to use throughout each day to aid the healing process. I can’t drive or play bowls at the moment but life is very full. It takes something like this to make one realize how important our sight is.  Also I realize what a healthy life I have had.  The day I had my second operation a little girl I know who has cystic fibrosis was having an op to remove excess mucous.  She had to stay in for several days.  I can hardly complain at my time of life if I am beginning to fall apart!!
God is good and I have felt His presence with me at this time.

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.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
