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.

  • bloggerel from a silent inner monologue

    I feel a certain amount of loyalty to the regular readers of this blog: both of you! You take the time a trouble to log on and read my bloggerel, so it’s only fair that I try to provide you with something meaningful or funnyful to read, reflect on and regret. That loyalty is one…

  • brief day-offish bloggage

    Driving along today, listening to the radio, I glanced in my rearview mirror (as I do occasionally). I noticed a car pull up behind me and saw that the driver’s mouth was moving. I then realised it was moving in sync with what I was listening to on the radio: she was singing heartily along…

  • roll on Christmas!

    For an alternative take on the Nativity, follow this link and watch it as you have never seen it before – starring Facebook friends from our church and my family… http://bit.ly/sxWEvE

  • thundersermons??

    I am prepared for my sermon preparation today. Yesterday I bought a new jar of ground coffee. My coffee machine is warming up. My Bible is open and ready. The books I will use to help me are within reach. My procrastination levels have diminished (although this bloggerel may disqualify that claim). As soon as…

  • big splash

    So, yesterday we had an amazing service at Colchester Baptist Church. Four friends were baptised as believers and shared their faith with us. It was so inspiring, so encouraging and so special to have been a part of it. I shared with our church that when I was little I used to enjoy watching baptism…

  • Deep Thought

    On Tuesday night we held the first of a new gathering at our church under the general title of ‘Deep Thought’. The name comes from the computer in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Deep Thought) that was built to come up with the answer to “life, the universe and everything.” Our new gathering is a…

  • taking a bath

    Today I am taking Mr Tall (aka Thomas) to Bath University for him to look around and for them to have a look at him. We have arrived VERY early – thanks to the M25 not being as busy as it can be, an early start, and the service station where we stopped for breakfast…

  • Is this a ‘bah humbug’ moment for me?

    The alert among you may have noticed the absence of any bloggerel from me yesterday. It was not intentional but simply a lack of time and space in which to reflect, write and post something. I hope that you, dearest bloggist, will forgive me. All this week people are doing bizarre and silly things to…

  • Signs your Minister may need a day off

    Their Outlook Diary reminds them of an appointment and offers them the chance to ‘snooze’. They take the opportunity to close their eyes… They find a post-it note from their spouse on their computer to ask for an appointment to see them. They forget someone’s birthday – their own! You hear them replying through gritted…

  • double-talk

    I must be in touch with my feminine side. I am multitasking. Not only that, but I am multitasking by preparing two sermons simultaneously. Many alarm bells are sounding in my head about why this is not a good idea, but I can’t help it. Thoughts relating to both of Sunday’s sermons have been surfacing…
