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 whisper

    A member of our church lent me a book recently. Then, at a Ministers’ meeting, a fellow Baptist Minister shared that he had read this book and found it very helpful. I have often found that when ‘coincidences’ like that happen God is trying to get my attention. So I listened. I continued reading the…

  • technology 1 human 0

    I got annoyed this morning. I was at the church, setting up my laptop to work with our church projector – ready for a group of Year 1s from a local school to come and find out more about what our church is like. I had set everything up yesterday. It worked fine. Of course…

  • ouch

    Last night I woke up with a desire to visit another room in our house. (I am trying to be delicate here!). I walked barefoot into that room and on my way back to bed felt a small jab in the sole of my foot, like I had stood on a pin or a sharp…

  • thank you Ship of Fools!

    I have just had a genuine lol moment that verged on the rotfl. Have a look at http://www.ship-of-fools.com/signs/index.html and see proof that if God moves in mysterious ways (like a divine ninja?), the movement of Christians is bizarre… a sample below! I have often thought that there ought to be a space reserved for ministers in our…

  • labelled

    So… what sort of person are you? There are all sorts of ways in which we categorise people. We paste labels onto each other like we are tagging photos on Facebook. “Happy” “Grumpy” “Cool” “Geek” “Clever” “Daft” “Not a morning person” (me at the moment!) …and so on. You know what I am talking about.…

  • competitive? me?

    One of my guilty pleasures is that I love listening to the ‘Head-to-Headlines’ on Chris Evans’ Breakfast Show on Radio 2. For those of you who have not heard this before, the newsreader Moira Stuart and the sportsreader (is that a word) Jonny Saunders each have three news stories from the day and seek to…

  • is it art?

    If Jesus needed a passport…

  • there is such a thing as bad publicity

    How can a massive organisation like FIFA have got itself into such a mess? I don’t know whether any of the allegations that are bouncing around about the shenanigans at FIFA are true. I don’t know whether anyone has been bribing anyone else. I don’t know whether the process of awarding of the World Cup…

  • under the influence

    As I sit in my study at home I can hear my son practicing on his keyboard in his bedroom (immediately above my study). I can also hear my daughter playing on a computer game in the dining room (immediately next to my study). And I am listening to some of my favourite rock music…

  • checking in

    I am currently on a train, on my way to London to a hospital appointment. It’s a routine check to monitor how well my cyber-brain is working. As part of the preparation for these appointments I have to keep an hourly headache diary for the preceding two weeks. This means rating the pain levels on a scale…
