Welcome back to my Russian readers, I've missed you.

I wonder what took you away and I wonder what brought you back.  Perhaps you see that I am a fan of Danil Pluzhnikov who recently won Voice Kids on Russian T.V. What a wonderful singer he is. I am praying for his safe keeping as there are many pitfalls in Show biz.  I see he now has is own website.  My Russian learning is progressing but not very good yet so I have been glad to use Google Translate when I want to know what is being posted on Daniel's Russian version of Face Book.  the translation is almost immediate but sometimes does not quite convey the right meaning, but it is a useful tool.

  For those of you who don't know Daniel, he is 13 year's old, is 98cms tall but has a great personality and sings with such passion.  Even when you don't know what he is singing about he stirs the emotions.  Why not take a look at his website or find him on YouTube?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgQsKzx1kLk I think this will take you there.

  As I watch Russian T.V., with my limited understanding of the language I am more and more warming to the Russian people.  Living in the West we don't realize the level of propaganda against them.  No doubt their rulers do the same about us.  But we should look at the ordinary people of  Russia and see that they are people just like us with the same emotions in joy and in sorrow, the same aspirations. Learn to discern between fact and propaganda.

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.

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.
