Probably far too much time. But today I have spent time with family, and this evening with a friend. I enjoy talking with people on Facebook but there is nothing better than spending time face to face. For people who are introverts it must be very tempting to keep people at bay on the internet, but really it is well worth the effort to get to know someone in the same room. Communicating owes a lot to body language which helps clarify what your friend is feeling and meaning in what they say. I think it would be a good idea to have at least one computer free day each week so that you can discover other things about life and make some tangible friends. I haven't been doing this but I think it is a good plan. I will try to remember to tell you how I get on.
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.
