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)

  • God’s megaphone

    This morning I have been considering some aspects of listening to God, in preparation for Sunday morning at CBC. One of the passages I have considered, and will probably mention on Sunday, is that of Samuel’s call. The narrative is lovely – of a naive young boy who hears God speaking in the night but…

  • ridiculously short bloggage

    In between many different activities today there is time for a momentary bloggage: Delusions of grandeur – how big do they have to be to qualify? Bless you!

  • simplicity

    A local school is using our church premises for their Carols Services and Nativity plays. This morning I was showing our premises to a couple of members of staff from the school and trying to sort out some of the details. As we looked at the church I tried to see things through the eyes…

  • patiently impatient

    Dear Bloggists Today’s apparent silence has been because someone had broken the internet. Or at least the part of it to which we are supposedly connected. This is becoming a frustratingly frequent occurrence. I am impatient for them to fix it. Isn’t amazing how quickly we assimilate technology and start to rely on it? It…

  • Swiss Army Ministers

    I am still processing a lot of the ideas, information and inspiration that I received from the conference this week. (Did you notice the alliteration? I am a Baptist minister who trained at Spurgeon’s College!). [brings thought process back to the matter in hand] Ahem. When I trained at Spurgeon’s College (note joined up link) I was…

  • you know it’s time to go home when…

    It’s the last morning of the conference, which has been brilliant. But how do you know it’s time to go home? Not simply that you have run out of conference, have been chucked out of your room and they have called in the police in case you decide to protest in their grounds, but how do…

  • the story so far

    At the conference for Ministers of larger churches I am checking in on what I wrote yesterday during some free time. yes yes yes can’t answer this until I get home. That’s still a pretty good ratio of success on my hopes, dreams and ambitions for the conference and we are only half way through!…

  • Bigging it up

    Today I head off to a conference for larger ministers ministers of larger churches*. It is run by the Mission Department of BUGB. I have been before and found it helpful, but this time I have decided that if I prepare myself I might get more out of it. I am looking forward to it. And…

  • Tomorrow comes a day early

    It’s highly unlikely that I will have much time to blog tomorrow, so I am offering some bloggerel today so that you can read something tomorrow if you visit the site and want some bloggage. Of course by then I will have written this yesterday. And it will be today. Unless of course you are…

  • spelunking* the Corinthians

    In our evening services at the moment we are working our way through 1 Corinthians. It’s a bit like exploring a series of caves. It’s dark and murky in places but you keep coming into new chambers in which there are spectacular formations that take your breath away. Sunday evening is no exception. We will…
