Coping with Air ports

Before this adventure I had only flown in Britain, to Glasgow and back and Norwich to and from Exeter.  My friend had never flown before.  Our worst experience was in Heathrow.  We had booked airport assistance because of various health issues. This meant we were separated from the rest of our party.  An airport worker was pushing a lady in a wheel chair and we were asked of we could walk for two minutes.  We said "Yes." but ended up following the wheelchair all the way to where we would join the plane.  We had asked for seats together but were allocated tickets several rows apart but were able to sit together, but not after some alarm. Once away from Heathrow things improved.  We were on a Swiss Air flight to Zurich.  We really liked Swiss Air and the service they gave and the tasty food supplied.  The change at Zurich for a flight to St Petersburg went smoothly and assistance was given. Again in Russia assistance was prompt.  It seems Heathrow needs to get its act together.The return flights eleven days later went well until we arrived at Heathrow.  We must have waited at least twenty minutes before our fellow passengers decided to walk to the place where there would be a buggy.  As they were seasoned traveller's we went with them and eventually found the buggy which took us to the carousel. After that we had a four hour car ride to home, which was all part of the service and in the cost of the holiday. We did get value for money and would go with Titan again.

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.
