I have briefly dipped into Wikipedia to refresh my memory of some of Croatia's history. What touches me is the suffering Croatia and many other European countries have had in their history. It humbles me to think that I can express the grace of God to people who have suffered so much when I come from a country that has not suffered occupation since, I think, 1066. We know nothing of the terror of having our country overrun by one faction and then another. I know I have had such a little amount of suffering in my life. It has been a life that has been cushioned on all sides. Instead of me advising you how to trust in God through Jesus I think it would be better for me to hear it from you. I would welcome your comments.
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.
