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)

  • getting cold feet for a great reason

    There are times when God absolutely blesses your socks off. This weekend is going to be one of those. On Sunday I have the joy and privilege of baptising three people from our church. They are all young yet have very different testimonies about what Jesus has done in their lives. There are many joys I…

  • my national media career progress update

    Another little bonus bloggerel for today. A couple of days ago the Inter Milan manager, Rafael Benitez, had a go at the current manager of Liverpool in a press conference. In the middle of his rant he said that “some people cannot see a priest in a mountain of sugar.” I was listening to BBC…

  • Citius, Altius, Fortius

    Groucho Marx once said, “I don’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member.” That is almost profound! This ‘ian’ is where being a Christian is like being Olympians. I am not like an Olympian because I am going to be running, jumping, throwing or doing anything else in the London 2012 Olympics…

  • if music be the food of love…

    Another ‘ian’ for you today from the talk I did on ‘What is a Christian?’. Donald MacDonald from the Isle of Skye was admitted to Essex University, and was now living in his first year of residence there. His clan was very excited that one of their own had made it into the upper class…

  • we are martian in the light of God

    I recently was asked to do a talk on ‘What is a Christian?’ I decided that, among other things, a Christian is like a  martian. [pause for effect] [pause longer for the penny to drop] For those who have not quite got the message, it’s not because people think we are weird, have green skin…

  • >clean hands…

    >Welcome to Novembrrrr.I have been trying to deepen my relationship with Jesus for many years now, and occasionally come across ideas or activities that I have found helpful. It is easy to know that one of the things is ‘pray more’ but it is difficult to remember as often as I want to. I have…

  • >oh my word(s)!

    >I have just finished reviewing a couple of books for a Christian magazine. It was great to be able to read two books on the same subject while keeping my brain alert so I could give a fair review. However, the problem came when writing the review that I thought one book was better than…

  • the content of this blog entry will tell you the answer to the last one

    Hooray!

  • so long and thanks for all the fish (ing)

    Ladies and Gentlemen. It is with some trepidation that I announce that this is the last blog. Possibly. For a while. Unless things go well this afternoon. I have bought an operating system upgrade that requires a ‘clean install’. In other words, it won’t keep all my settings and installations and will mean that I…

  • what is your body trying to tell you?

    You start to feel like your body is trying to tell you something when you have to make appointments with the Doctor and Dentist in the same morning. Both are fairly routine appointments. Perhaps I am feeling sorry for myself because I went to bed last night feeling fine and woke up with back pain…
