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.

(These musings don’t necessarily represent the views of the church I serve)

  • Now that’s what I call amusing 17

    Isn’t the British sense of humour wonderful? And the effort some people will go to in order to express that is brilliant… Visit this blog and prepare to be amused. http://wharferj.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/underground-guerilla-signs/

  • almost controversial

    Today I almost got controversial. I started writing bloggerel about a pet peeve of mine. I started to feel righteously indignant about the behaviour of some Christian organisations. I felt that I was on a roll. I was ready to unload my angst and annoyance. And then a still, small voice stopped me. It went…

  • unmission

    I have just finished reading another book for my Sabbatical: The Fourfold Leadership of Jesus by Andrew Watson. The book has a chequered history. Not the publication, the actual copy. It was a gift to me from a group of people I served while working for the Baptist Union of Great Britain, over four years…

  • bad ads

    Is it just me, or are adverts becoming more annoying? Not necessarily the ones on TV, but the ones that intrude on our daily routines. I just had a panic online when a pop-up advert I was not expecting popped up and told me there was a problem that needed fixing. I know enough not…

  • spiritual botox?

    On Saturday I had a series of Botox injections in my head. No, it was not because of vanity. When you look like me, vanity has left the building well before Elvis! The first image here will confirm that for you. It was medical, and if you want to know more, read the previous entry.…

  • if the wind changes your face will stay like that

    What is the origin of that old wives’ tale? Presumably an old wife told the story of how someone pulled a silly face and the wind changed just at the moment that person suffered a facial muscle spasm and couldn’t change their face. I did some online research and have not found a conclusive answer,…

  • The boss is watching, look buzzy

    I have spent the morning sitting in the garden, reading a book as part of my sabbatical leave. Having been challenged by the content of the book I paused for a while to reflect. My gaze was drawn to some nearby flowers on which some bees were busy (and buzzy) foraging. I want to share…

  • the appeal of Jesus

    It was Friday. Mid-morning. The court had given its verdict, albeit following a trial that ‘stretched’ the rules. They had found the defendant guilty on all counts. And the Court of Appeal, one judge sitting on his own, had conceded that the verdict, albeit rather unsafe, was expedient. He too found the defendant guilty on…

  • coin-cidentally speaking

    Regular bloggites may have gathered that I like gadgets. I love to see and experience changes in technology, marvel at innovation and see how these change the way I carry out tasks. One of my favourite gadgets is very simple in concept, clever in the way it carries out the task and effective in achieving…

  • thanks, thanks and thanks again

    Greetings bloggites. I have now started my sabbatical leave and have decided that I will continue to post bloggerel here. There are two reasons: vanity and necessity. The vanity part comes from not wanting to lose any bloggites like you from my list of followers due to inactivity. I love to see the hit ticker…
