There is a good selection of programmes about Russia on the BBC at the moment. For me this is delightful, having been to Russia back in July. It is a new experience for me to be able to watch such programmes and say, "I've been there." My trip to Russia was the first abroad I had ever made. Aha I think I just saw a clip that was supposed to be in Moscow, but I'm sure it was the church on the spilled blood in St Petersburg and not St Basil's. It is easy to make that mistake but St. Basil's has more green on it. A year ago I would not have known the difference. I am glad there are still things in life that I can enjoy for the first time. Some people have been everywhere and done everything; how bored they must feel. But my obsession is with Russia; there is nowhere else I want to go, as yet.
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.
