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.

bizzy
Today’s bloggage is curtailed due to an excess of work and a shortage of available time. Now that the interpregnum* is over (my colleague, Lynsey, is back from maternity leave) there should theoretically be a higher MPE rating (Ministers Per Event) within the church. However it seems that the work has expanded to fill the…

edited highlights
I recorded the Super Bowl last night. I had a cunning plan. The thinking was that I would be able to watch it and fast forward through all of the ad breaks and delays: bringing the length of the game back down to one hour. Of course the problem was that then I needed to…

the ring of truth!?
God’s timing is incredible (you’d expect it to be really) but it’s wonderful when he uses us as part of his split second timing. This has happened twice in my experience in the last couple of days: phone calls have been made at exactly the right time. On one occasion the person had just been…

teef
I had an epiphany today as I was cleaning my teeth. For some reason I recalled a question our class was asked when I was 8 or 9. How would you answer this? If you could only brush your teeth once, is it better to brush them last thing at night or first thing in…

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. She’s out at housegroup now so it’s okay for me…

bloggerel explained (sort of)
I am writing this bloggerel and creating this bloggage in a brief lull in what will undoubtedly be a busy day. Even as I have written that first sentence I realise that you may well not know what I mean by “bloggerel” and “bloggage” (although I am delighted to say that my voice recognition software…

clean your glasses
(You can’t be optimistic through a misty optic!) 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.…
