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.

the first of many
Hi In order to christen baptise the new blogsite I thought I would give you a little joke… When a guy’s printer type began to grow faint, he called a local repair shop where a friendly man informed him that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned. Because the store charged £50 for such cleanings,…

You found it!
Well done, my friends, you have found the new location for my blog. Or, you have randomly found your way here and are wondering what you have found. This is going to take a while to get going and to look the way I want it, but the old stuff from the old site is…

time flies when it’s going wrong
Howdy Blogspot is not working properly again. I have managed to negotiate my way around it, but that may not last. Sorry! I suspect that they do their maintenance in the middle of the night, but that’s the middle of the night on the other side of the Atlantic and the daytime here, when I…

if you need to eat humble pie, you may need to take your foot out of your mouth first…
mmmphlugh hhmmugh grimngtpgh That is the sound of me eating some humble pie while talking with my mouth full (of foot). Yesterday I acted less than graciously towards somebody. It took my wife Sally to point this out to me. I did not notice. And therein lies the problem. I had become so caught up…

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…
