nukelearfishing – the random and occasionally humorous musings of a Baptist Minister who is trying to be a free sample of Jesus and discover God in the ordinary.

[clears throat]
Ladies and Gentlemen, bloggists and twitterers, I have an important announcement. [cue fanfare. You will have to do your own as I am too much of a cheapskate to have audio files added to this blog]. Today is another day. I know. Profound isn’t it? Actually, today is the 46th anniversary of the day I…

borrowers?
We have Borrowers in our house. Or, to be more precise, Borrowers are targeting my study. In case you don’t know, Borrowers are tiny little people who live an almost parasitic life in our houses, ‘borrowing’ items that they find and adapting them for their own life. Several films and TV series have been made…

last minute decision
Today I have had an epiphany. It’s difficult isn’t it. When one section of society celebrates it can unintentionally alienate another. So English people might celebrate a win at rugby or football or cricket and non-England supporters can feel left out. Sport-lovers celebrated the Olympics and Paralympics last year and those who don’t like sport…

Freshly found fragments from Genesis 6
“Ahem” “Eh? What? Who’s that?!” “Ahem, it’s God.” “Oh. Hello.” “I’d like you to do something for me.” “Of course. Anything. You name it, I’ll do it.” “Wonderful. I would like you to build me a boat.” “A boat? You want to go sailing?” “No. A big boat.” “A big boat. Here, in the desert?”…

Pontificating
So, that one caught us all by surprise didn’t it? I did not hear of anyone who was claiming credit for predicting that the Pope would be resigning yesterday, nor that he would announce his resignation in Latin! I don’t want to get too side-tracked by this, but I wondered what the Latin word for…

letter of explanation
Dear bloggists I am sorry for the lack of bloggerel recently. It was because of man-flu, which temporarily left me feeling very sorry for myself and with a voice that sounded like Barry White (except for the singing bit). That also meant that my voice recognition software did not recognise my voice. (This is where…

sand art
I will try to tread carefully today. That’s because the subject of this bloggage is still an active court case and I do not want to be guilty of contempt of court. Yesterday, shortly before his trial for perverting the course of justice was due to begin, Chris Huhne changed his plea from ‘not guilty’…

keystone
Time for me to confess. I have a problem. It is something that clearly does not bother lots of people, but causes me some angst. The problem is keystone. Not the cops from the black and white movies. But the adjusting of video projectors so that the image on the screen has vertical sides instead…

pole chancing
When I was in my first year at secondary school we were all encouraged to participate in the school sports day at the end of the summer term. I had recently watched some athletics on the TV and had been inspired by the pole vault is so decided that I would do the pole vault.…

a bloggage of biblical proportions
Picking up where I left off yesterday, what are some good questions to be asking about the Bible? What sort of literature is this? The Bible contains all sorts of different types of literature: historical prose, poetry, songs, apocalyptic literature, commentary on events, letters, and so on. It helps to know what sort of literature…
