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.

  • password?

    How do you cope when you forget a password for a website, a program or (worst of all) your computer? There are usually ways of finding it out, but sometimes you have to be a bit of a detective. Yesterday I was planning to send a blog entry for you by posting via email. But I…

  • show and tell?

    I am a (very) part-time chaplain at Essex University. Today I took part in a ‘Learning at Work’ day at the Uni. The best way I can think of to describe it is that it is a grown-up version of ‘show and tell’. Now that is underplaying it badly, but the idea is that if you…

  • Gates are boring (no, not a reference to Bill)

    I am working on Sunday morning’s sermon. It’s on Jesus saying that he is the gate to the sheep pen (John 10). Now don’t get me wrong, I love the Bible and the riches within it to guide us, point us to Jesus and help us to get the best out of life. But Jesus,…

  • look both ways…

    This morning I gave in. It was inevitable. I am definitely getting older. There is proof. I bought myself some reading glasses! They are ‘off the peg’ glasses at the lowest possible strength, which I will use when I am wearing my contact lenses. I don’t need them when I am not using my contact…

  • time’s up!

    Hello The blog is back. Of course you knew that because you had already seen a new blog entry was available and had clicked on it to get this far. I had an email last week that surprised me. During my time working for the Baptist Union of Great Britain I clocked up a few…

  • Apology continued

    Yesterday Blogger were doing some ‘essential maintenance’ whatever that is, which meant that I was unable to post anything to this Blog. I hope those of you who made the journey through cyberspace yesterday were not too disappointed (or too delighted) to find that there was nothing new here. Perhaps you took the opportunity to…

  • A short apology

    Sorry.

  • getting in a stew about the cross (or getting cross about a stew)

    Stew the Rabbit and I are about to visit another school this morning. It will be his first visit there and I hope he is well-behaved. He is going to try a magic trick which may or may not come off… The theme will be exploring crosses. an ‘x’ can be a sign that you…

  • hair today, goon tomorrow

    cover your hairloss by sitting next to your daughter I need to face the bald facts. My hair is disappearing. Male Pattern Baldness is here to stay. I was reflecting on this fact today as I cut my hair and have discerned a few warning signals that some of you may like to consider for…

  • he who laughs last… didn’t get the joke

    Is it wrong to feel happy when someone struggles to pronounce ‘Schadenfreude’*? I have recently been the cause of a lot of joy for other people. Rotten rail journeys that went wrong have caused a certain amount of glee for people who have experienced them vicariously through my Facebook statuses. I think that counts as…
