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)

  • Strangeness

    This is a strange week. Yesterday was my last Sunday at Colchester Baptist Church until December, with Sabbatical Leave about to kick in. So this week there are no sermons or services to prepare for. I need to tie up some loose ends and ensure that I have downloaded as much information as will be…

  • Nothing doing

    Off-blog today and tomorrow while I enjoy some leave and wait patiently for Number 1 Offspring’s A Level Results.

  • Uncertainty principles

    We are hosting a barbecue tonight. In order to give our potential guests enough warning that they were able to come we had made the invitation at the weekend.

  • Don’t just pray there do something

    Desperation, desperation, desperation Drives many people to their knees Making deals with the Lord of Creation: “I’ll do this… help me please.”   Inspiration, inspiration, inspiration The answer that comes from ‘above’ Can be ideas and opportunities for fresh direction And a friendly motivational shove.   Perspiration, perspiration, perspiration We all have a part to…

  • Olympic inspiration

    As a Brit it is very difficult not to be inspired by the efforts of our Olympians. They have been excelling themselves. While it is true that many of our successes have come in sports where you sit down (cycling, rowing, sailing, equestrian, canoeing…) that is not the whole story. Nor does the Medal Table…

  • china crisis?

    A few years ago I had the immense privilege of travelling with a group of Christian leaders in mainland China. It was a wonderful experience and one that has made a profound impact on me, and on my perspective on life. I was humbled and in tears when we were introduced to a lady who…
