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.

through the looking glass?
Vicar in sermon: “This morning as I was shaving I was thinking about my sermon and cut myself.” Comment on door after service: “Next time Vicar, think about shaving and cut the sermon.” This morning as I was shaving I had a thought: why is it that I go bald on the top of my…

Dear Father Christmas…
It’s only 29 days to Christmas. Somehow the countdown seems less important to me than when I was a child. I’m not sure how far back the countdown would be (I don’t think it ever reached 3 figures) but with a birthday in February it always seemed a long time until presents. On Sunday morning…

surprise blessings
Okay, I have managed to fit in a quick blog (200th today). I was so blessed and surprised recently when the kind young man (thanks Chris) who operated the video camera at our church to show the recent baptisms on the big screen presented me with a DVD of Thomas being baptised. They had had…

>199 not out
>I have just noticed that this is the 199th blog entry I have made. I mention that not because I deserve a medal (my readers deserve that if they have read all 199) but because I am astonished at how much drivel I have managed to pour out into the blogisphere since I started. Nearly…

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…
