When you are waiting for someone to come and they are late,
just get involved in something that makes it difficult for you to answer the
door, or at least not wanting to answer the door. That’s what I am doing now, getting myself
involved in writing a blog. I’m waiting
for the Tesco delivery which should have been here between nine and ten p.m.
and it’s now ten thirty. Of course I can
stop and answer the door. I suppose
really I ought to go to the toilet and then for sure the bell would go just as I
had reached that point of no return. Do
you shout and scream at the delivery man when this happens to you? I don’t.
After all it’s a pretty thankless task, on the minimum wage. There are so many pitfalls like diversions on
the country lanes where it is so difficult to find one’s way. I do know there is a hole in the road on our
chief lane. I expect that is the problem
tonight. When it gets to ten forty-five I will ring the office if I still don’t
have my delivery. Of course I won’t
starve. As my daughter would say, “You’ve
got a first world problem.” No I won’t starve. The last time this happened the
worst I did to the young man who delivered was to give him a small book about
Jesus, well it was close to Christmas. I
wonder what he did with it.
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.
