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)

  • when I’m calling you oo oo oo oo oo oo

    “If you can be happy doing anything else, do it!” Those were the encouraging words of my Minister when I spent some time talking with him as a teenager who was exploring the possibility that God wanted me to be a Minister too. He was trying to express to me how it is crucial to…

  • This Sunday I will mostly be speaking about…

    Is it just me? I find myself increasingly irritated by the news in the morning. We are told what has happened overnight. That’s great. That’s important. We are told about some things that are happening today. That’s helpful, even if it is a bit like advertising (especially when the ‘news’ is about a TV programme…

  • an apology

    Dear bloggists I am sorry that I have not posted anything for the last couple of days. This is because I was without t’internet, enjoying a few days away with some of our church. ‘Normal’ service (whatever that is) will be resumed tomorrow, I hope. In the meantime, a jokette for you… They say there…

  • going anywhere nice for your holidays?

    I had a traumatic experience on Wednesday. It involved flashbacks, anxiety, envy, a pair of scissors and some money. On Wednesday I took my daughter somewhere that brought back pleasant memories for me. It reminded me of relaxing and pleasant times in my past that will never happen again. I took her to the hairdressers.…

  • booking time

    I have four books sitting on my desk that are ready to be read. Some of them have been on my desk for a while. They have not gathered dust (because they keep getting moved around to make space). But they have not been opened in anger or engaged with in a meaningful way. It…

  • computer users – a parable?

    Apparently there are three types of computer users: Novice user – this is someone who is terrified of pressing a key in case they break something. Intermediate user – this is someone who doesn’t know how to fix the computer after they pressed a key. Expert user – this is someone who knows how to…

  • synchronicity?

    Sunday night was horrible. I went to bed at the normal time and fell asleep as normal. But at 1am I awoke with my brain buzzing about different things I need to do. I have a pad and pen beside my bed just for that reason. Not so I can doodle, but so I can…

  • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… er… 10,000

    Sometime over the weekend it happened. One of you probably did it but have not confessed. Was it you? Astonishingly someone made my hit counter on the blog tick over to 10,000 hits! My flabber has never been so ghasted! It seems incredible to me that people have thought it might be worth paying 10,000…

  • explanation of this morning’s bloggerel

    Yes, the first part of the bloggage this morning was an attempt at an April Fool’s joke, sorry! Still, it does mean that the blog was not without a joke after all…

  • principles?

    I have a decision to make. I have been approached by a Christian publisher to write a series of daily devotions based on my blog. That is amazing. (I can’t say which publisher but I don’t think they will be asked to join the TUC.) Apparently someone who works there is a regular blogmate and showed…
