Child Care

Seeing my daughter enjoy such a wonderful relationship with first her son and then two more 24 hours a day, was a delight to see, but we both became aware of how other mothers were missing out.  In the West a career is a prized possession for young women.   They have been told that this is very important to have and also helps them have a well-off lifestyle and the ability to own their own house.  The joy of motherhood is placed very much second.  This means that little babies only a few months old are left with child minders from about 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. when the mother picks them up again both she and the baby are tired and the child put to bed soon with little interaction between them. What a way to bring up the next generation? To know that your company is so little prized can do nothing for the ego of the growing child. Is owning your house really worth this dreadful sacrifice?  Especially as you do not really own your house, it belongs to the mortgage company. If you or someone near you is pondering how to look after their children urge them to actually be there for them 24/7 it will be well worth it.

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.
