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.

I once was lost and now am
found frustrated Why is it that the thing you have lost and have spent ages looking for is always in the last place you look? Yes, I know that by definition it will be in the last place you look! I think my question should be: why is it that when you have lost something…

not quite so zoomy…
This week’s bloggings seem to have been dominated by cars, and today completes the set. I had to take my car for an MOT Test today. Cue sense of anxiety as I leave it at the Test Centre (at least I know the tyres are fine (see earlier bloggerel this week). Cue hour’s wait with…

>wagging my spiritual tail
>It was too late to blog by the time I got home yesterday so I thought I would give you a break. I am starting to feel an obligation to any of you that are regular readers and don’t want to let you down, but sometimes it just ain’t gonna happen… I have a card…

I was not sure where this blog entry was going when I started…
On my way to the Conference Centre yesterday I had a tyre blow out. It is not as dramatic as it sounds, nor as bad as it could have been. I had just come off the motorway onto an A road and was only doing 40mph when I heard a rumbling from the back of…

vroom
I am soon going to be getting into the car and head off to the Conference I mentioned last week. Before I go I thought I would put fingers to keyboard and leave you with a thought and a joke. I was impressed with Sebastian Vettel over the weekend. In case you don’t know, he…

Next week there may be a few days’ break from the blog (or there may be more entries than usual) as I am attending a conference for Baptist Ministers in Larger churches. For some readers you may be envisaging churches with a minimum of 1000 members. Well the bar is a little lower. Lower Lower…

You will not believe chocolate eclair what has happened Triceratops
I was looking on a well-known internet search engine yesterday to see what happened when I entered this blog name. I was stunned to discover that if I search for ‘nukelear fishing’ as opposed to ‘nuclear fishing’ this blog is referred to on other websites. It is mentioned on a gamers’ website – I mentioned…

cross purposes
(as opposed to angry dolphins which would be cross porpoises!) I had a wonderful experience on Monday evening this week. We had an open invitation to men in the church to join together at a local hostelry for an evening – food and friendship are a great combination. Good food, good conversation, good evening. A…

soggy joy
Soooo. On Sunday morning at our church we had a service of Believer’s Baptism. Three young people declared their allegiance to Jesus in words and actions. It is always a joy to baptise someone, but it is especially special when one of them is your son. Thomas being baptised, and yes he IS that much…

what the dickens?
Another ‘ian’ today. Tomorrow I plan to reflect more on yesterday’s awesomeness. Being a Christian is like being Dickensian. Someone or something that is reminiscent of Charles Dickens’ Victorian novels or the characters portrayed within them is described as being Dickensian. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness…
