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.

prayerpome
I wish I could pray like Teresa: I wish it just came to me quick she’s so calm and serene and so godly and I only pray like, erm, Nick. When Teresa prays we all listen: with ears pricked and mouths open wide in awe at the depth of the insight that comes from her…

interconnectivity-ness
Tonight is the inaugural meeting of Colchester Magic Club. it is a gathering that I have endeavoured to call together of people who are interested in learning and performing magic tricks. I was surprised and delighted when, following a request for a re-tweet from a well-known magician, I was contacted by several people who are…

bite your tongue
Last week I bit my tongue. No, I wasn’t trying to keep silent when there was a temptation to say something, I genuinely bit my tongue. It hurt. This morning I realised that the wound caused by my tongue gnashing was a lot better. I felt pleased about that, because it had been awkward, irritating,…

intermittent praying
I am sorry to say that this week’s bloggages have been somewhat intermittent. I have been very busy this week, including fitting in an extra day off today (Thursday) to coincide with Sally taking a day’s leave in order to use up her annual allocation.

Recently I have been working through a process of analysing my strengths and weaknesses and (with the help of the lovely lady called Tracy) have been analysing my preferences – my personal style, how interact with others, and how I make decisions. This has been incredibly beneficial.…

ecumania?
Yesterday I was very ecumenical. In the morning we participated in a pulpit swap with the other churches in the town centre. Rather than moving pulpits to different churches we felt it would be easier to move the ministers (!) so I went to our local Salvation Army Citadel and one of their Majors came…

nocturnal blogging
It’s the middle of the night and my body has decided to wake up. It has also decided that while it is very tired it won’t go back to sleep. It’s almost as if it has a mind of its own – that I am simply a passenger. Except that once my body has come…

than queue for waiting
Apparently we Brits are quite polite. At least that is a reputation we have internationally. Allegedly we naturally form queues when waiting for something when people from other countries and cultures will start some form of rugby ruck or maul and pile in. It seems that we have a reputation for being patient people. I…
