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.

  • Now that’s what I call amusing

  • getting trollied – the update

    Because I am a cheapskate and did not want to pay extra for faster delivery I am still waiting for the delivery of my trolley (either on another trolley or not). See here for details, if this post means nothing to you so far. This is still within the estimated / aimed for delivery period…

  • what will have you done today?

    What are you doing today? How much will you have achieved by the time your head hits the pillow? I wonder how you answer those questions? Do you answer them in terms of actions completed, to do lists diminished, tasks achieved? It’s good to be able to do that. I remember at the non-conformist vicar…

  • magic moments

    This morning I will be attending one of our Parent and Toddler groups, Bright Sparks, for their Jubilee Party. They’ve asked me to do some magic tricks, which I am delighted to do.

Although, come to think of it… Today is a day in which I plan to spend most of the day shut away in my study… preparing for Sunday services. The sun is shining outside, the birds…

  • blinking icons

    If you are a PC user (Windows 7) you will know that in the bottom right hand corner of the screen is usually a set of small icons that indicate the main open programs that are running at the time. Most of them are fairly static. Occasionally you get I get a little blue circle…

  • a tale of three meals

    I have eaten three significant meals in immediate succession… Last night I sat in the congregation. It’s not very often that I get to do this, without any involvement in a service, but the service at Colchester Baptist Church last night was led by one of our members and the sermon was preached by a…

  • Boat pic – to scale!

      – for those who have expressed an interest in her. She needs a name, and obviously goes better in water…
