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 Assembly today
Following a rude awakening this morning the day improved significantly – helped by a good cooked breakfast! Several people have asked me if I am going to make caustic comments about the Baptist Assembly. No. Not just because I know from personal experience how hard people work to create an Assembly that will bless those…

Alarmed
Just been woken and brought to immediate alert by the fire alarm going off in the hotel. Grabbed shoes, jacket and keys and was heading out of the door in my pyjamas when it stopped and one of the staff came around to say it is a false alarm. Was it a sneaky way of…

And so to bed?
It has been a long day. I have travelled a long way to the Baptist Assembly. But it is GOOD to be here. I have met old friends and former colleagues. Nice. I have felt at home among my denominational family. Yeah. I have worshipped Jesus with over 1500 fellow believers. Woohoo. I have been…

tweeting
We had to sleep with the windows open a couple of nights ago. It was too hot. The open windows let in the cooler air. Job done. Unfortunately they also let in the sound of the dawn chorus. In the garden, just below our bedroom window, is a large bush / small tree that houses…

at the foot of the cross
Who is there at the foot of the cross? Simon of Cyrene? A visitor to Jerusalem. He was not a follower of Jesus but somehow got caught up in the events and carried the cross for Jesus. Women who were distraught about the execution of the one who had shown them dignity and honour. Who…

underprepared, overprepared, ministering free…
Very quick lunchtime blog today as I am almost overwhelmed by stuff I have to get done. Yesterday I was at an inspirational conference about how churches respond to the Big Society agenda. It was delivered by Steve Chalke and gave us lots to think about. At the end of the day there was a panel…
