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.

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…

improvising
I took part in an Assembly today for a local school (reception to Year 6). I was asked to speak about Easter and decided to use a magic trick to illustrate what I was saying. As I was getting ready a vital part of the trick broke. Aaargh! I then had to improvise a repair. Which…

Big Bother is watching you
Ahoy there blogmates! It will now be much more difficult to find somewhere to sit in our church… our camera is a lot more discrete! …where you can’t see what is going on. We have installed a video camera and some extra screens so that wherever you sit you should be able to see what…

adaptability
Don’t you just hate it when you think of something important or significant but can’t make a note of it, and when you need to remember that thought all you can remember is that it was important or significant? I have that sensation about this morning’s blog entry. I am sure I had a good…

wood you believe it?
I had a sense of satisfaction on Saturday after I successfully installed two shelves onto a wall in my study. Not only have they stayed up, but when I put the spirit level on them at the end they were both perfectly level! I am a DIY Expert! Or not. I can correctly identify 11…

chill
Fridge magnet available at Amazon… In the big scheme of things, this is rather a petty post. We are having a new fridge today. In fact the blokes are bringing it into the house as I type. It was needed because our old one kept freezing everything – things in the fridge bit, not…

friend of sinners
I am about to launch into preparation for Sunday evening’s sermon, which is on the term of abuse that was levelled at Jesus: ‘friend of sinners’. As I was thinking about it earlier I had decided what we would use to close the service: the hymn ‘Man of sorrows’ as I was convinced that it…
