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.

>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…

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?

which is my best side?
Which way does the Queen look? It seems that she would be good at crossing roads because she is constantly looking both ways. No, it’s not a bad joke (don’t try to find humour there, I don’t think there is any). It relates to her image on stamps and coins of the realm. See what…

generosity defined by a sweet manufacturer
My wife, Sally, has recently been trying to track down some banana-flavoured chews. She remembered enjoying them as a child and has been disappointed not to be able to find any in sweet shops. She was quite pleased, then, when she came across a goodie bag by Swizzels Matlow that contained some Banana and Toffee Chews.…

good job
VERY busy day, so no time to write a long blog entry. (cue cheers). I’ve been reflecting on Ecclesiastes 3 (the second, less famous part) for Sunday evening’s sermon and the final verse has an Ebenezer Scrooge-esque quality about it: “So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to enjoy their work,…

man vs machine
I would like to talk with a person. I believe that most people think this and loathe the automated phone systems that pretend to be interested in you but in reality are just a series of choice-generated recorded messages that don’t tell you what you need to know. I really dislike it when I get…
