David Cameron’s Big Mistake



One of the biggest blunders David Cameron, the then Prime Minister of Britain, made in relation to the referendum, about staying in orleaving Europe, was to bring Barack Obama over to tell us what to do. For the ordinary man in the street, the ones Cameron does not understand, this was like a red flag to a bull.  Obama, with veiled threats told us it was vital for us to stay in Europe.  The ordinary man reacted in a knee jerk way saying,   ”Who does he think he is telling us what to do?  I hadn’t made up my mind how to vote, but now I will vote “leave.” Suddenly the little man found he really had a chance to make a difference.  He was not voting for a party just like all the other parties with nothing much to choose between them, no he was voting in a big decision between two very different policies, to stay in or to leave Europe. This wasn’t voting for a politician he did not trust whichever side they came from.  Most likely for some it was a vote against Cameron who brought in the bedroom tax which grabbed back money from the poorest.  After all Cameron didn’t provide more single bedroom flats for people to move to.  While the rich lived in comfort the poor got poorer.  The economy may be important but the well being of the people is more important.  When you lose touch with the little man you have to go.

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.
