Some of the nicest, cleverest and most interesting people are the disabled. Today I was with a friend who had her back broken when she was a young woman in a farming accident. A huge bale of hay knocked her down and did the damage. She is now in her eighties and although paralysed from the waist down, she has led a full and useful life albeit from a wheelchair. She has a positive view on life and gets on with it without complaining. Another example of a disabled person is the young Russian singer Danil Pluzhnikov. He is fifteen but only 98 cms tall. His legs are not strong and he can only walk short distances and when performing on stage he needs a stool to sit on for some of the time. I find it very difficult to think of Danil as disabled because he is such a power house of energy and determination. Because he has suffered from childhood, he understands how to express emotion in his songs and this makes a strong connection to his listeners. Look for Danil on Google Play where he has a song called Pillygreem. This means Pilgrim. Give this young man some encouragement and download his song, just for 99p. Also I include a link to Youtube so that you can hear him for free and also see more of him in action. He loves his country and I think he is one of Russia's national treasures. I hope President Putin is listening to me. We can all learn from such strong minded people who rise above their condition to make something of themselves. I am ashamed of the times when I have given in to mild depression when I should be doing something with my life even now at 70. It's taken me a lifetime to learn this but now I am making something of my life. To get back to Danil, in the link below he is singing about people being beaten down by others but still they rise above it and fly. Even if you don't understand Russian you will still hear the passion in his voice. Enjoy and buy his other record. He deserves all the recognition he can get.https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrC5pZDkL1ZSkMA4YY0nIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTBncGdyMzQ0BHNlYwNzZWFyY2gEdnRpZAM-;_ylc=X1MDMTM1MTE5NTcwMARfcgMyBGFjdG4DY2xrBGJjawMydnZxY3JoYWZwamV2JTI2YiUzRDQlMjZkJTNEdjZCVEpSVnJZSDF0UzY4dGFUUTZrU1kuZmc3OXVoMFYwdTFqQThoWVpEcG9NSWJtJTI2cyUzRHFmJTI2aSUzRHpaZG5kLlU3YngyenVscWQ3U2I0BGNzcmNwdmlkA3FCTnpTREV3TGpFdl8wemNWUHpOM3dXRU1tRXdNQUFBQUFEQ2hpS3MEZnIDeWhzLWFkay1hZGtfc2JudARmcjIDc2EtZ3AEZ3ByaWQDBG10ZXN0aWQDbnVsbARuX3JzbHQDMARuX3N1Z2cDMARvcmlnaW4DdmlkZW8uc2VhcmNoLnlhaG9vLmNvbQRwb3MDMARwcXN0cgMEcHFzdHJsAwRxc3RybAMyOARxdWVyeQN0d28gZWFnbGVzIGRhbmllbCBwbHV6aG5pa292BHRfc3RtcAMxNTA1NTk1NDgxBHZ0ZXN0aWQDbnVsbA--?pvid=qBNzSDEwLjEv_0zcVPzN3wWEMmEwMAAAAADChiKs&p=two+eagles+daniel+pluzhnikov&ei=UTF-8&fr2=p%3As%2Cv%3Av%2Cm%3Asa&fr=yhs-adk-adk_sbnt&hsimp=yhs-adk_sbnt&hspart=adk#id=3&vid=57c4eee419cc8facbe63da71b27da95f&action=view
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.
