Do you notice how many people say that time is whizzing along faster than ever? "Where has this year gone?" they say. Now I remember my parents talking like that, but we as children found that time was very slow especially in term time, but even the six weeks of the summer holiday had a leisurely feel to them as if they would never end. But today even the children think that time is passing quickly today. I think it may have something to do with technology. We spend so much time on computers and phones that we don't have that time in the evening when we used to sit back and relax. At this moment I am gulping at a cup of tea and staying on the PC when I should be sitting in an armchair, sipping slowly and mulling over the happenings of the day. I should be savouring life and giving my brain the chance to unravel the tangled yarn in my head. I guess if I did that I would sleep better. I'm going to be sensible tonight and not see the ten o'clock news. I'm going to just sit and think.
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.
