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)

  • of teaching and toilets

    This has to be a quick bloggage, as I am writing it in a coffee break between sessions at the BUGB Ministers Refresher Conference in Swanwick. I think at the very least we all ought to be given a packet of Refreshers for the Conference and then run a sweepstake to see how many Refreshers…

  • it’s twirly

    It feels early. I have been awake since 5.30, and don’t want to be. There’s something nice about having to wake up early if you are getting up to go somewhere – perhaps in the car, trying to beat the traffic, or to go to catch a train or a plane. Everything seems calm, quiet…

  • angles from the realms of glory (no, that’s not a spelling error, it’s meant to be angles)

    >We had a visitation at our house on Wednesday. No, not Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons. The visitor did not even ring the doorbell, but they did knock on the window, and their visit left an impression on us. I think it may have been a small trainee angel on its first flight. It did not…

  • >steps (no, no, please don’t start singing ‘Tragedy!’)

    >Not sure I am going to have time to write anything here tomorrow, so consider this an early Thursday present. I don’t know if you have noticed at the top of the blog screen is a link to ‘next blog’. Please don’t click it yet, but try clicking it when you’ve finished this and then…

  • >have I got good news for you?

    >Have I mentioned yet that I have a lovely new phone? It’s lovely. And it’s new. My contract was running out so my network provider contacted me and said I could renew a couple of months early if I wanted (one way to keep me) and offered me a lovely new phone on a cheaper monthly…

  • WYSINWYTYAG (what you see is not what you think you are getting)

    I enjoy watching satirical current affairs TV programmes like ‘Have I Got News For You’ and ‘Mock The Week’. I find the humorous approach to what is going on helps puncture egos, although sometimes I feel they go too far and I wish some of the comedians did not feel they have to be crude…

  • non-conformist and proud of it

    I feel the need to get something off my chest. It’s not much of a confession, but it is something that is bugging me. I have not been watching much of the coverage of the Pope’s visit to our little island, but what I have seen has made me annoyed. I am not annoyed at…

  • >the tour

    >It’s been an interesting morning. Colchester is the finish of the 7th Stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race (it finishes completely tomorrow in London). There have been road closures and lots of bicycle-related events in the town centre.As a local VIP I was invited to attend a Civic Reception to mark the start of…

  • >waiting

    >I am awaiting a delivery. The package should be arriving today between 8 am and 6 pm. I daren’t go out because I am sure that it will arrive the moment I have turned out of our road. I am even cautious about going to the bathroom because I don’t want to miss it. Thankfully…
