When I was a girl we didn't have computers and those that did (scientists) had huge rooms to keep them in, they were so big. In our house we didn't have a phone or a television. In fact to start with we had no electric and had to use a Tilly lamp and candles. We didn't have a car, but when I was a teenager my Dad bought a BSA Bantam two-stroke motor bike. We had a radio and that was a delight starting with Listen with Mother, when I was little and all kinds of classical music and radio plays as I was growing up. We had a harmonium from U.S.A. and I learnt to play it. No lessons at first. We simply went to town and bought a beginner's book from the music shop and I taught myself. I didn't understand much about time so played the upper notes with the lower notes that were beneath them and with dotted notes held on and popped the quaver into the space above. There was plenty of time to practice with so few books in the house and no X boxes or Play Stations.
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.
