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)

  • 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…

  • Africa United is coming

    I have the privilege of knowing one of the Producers of this film. That may mean I am biased, but I am really looking forward to seeing this film. It seems to be getting brilliant receptions when it is shown. If you have not seen a trailer for it yet, there’s one here: http://www.africaunitedmovie.com/ Be…

  • >Carpentry – the family business

    >Yesterday I had the privilege of taking a funeral for a man who had been a carpenter all his life. Aside from this being Jesus’ family business, there’s something about carpentry that I find fascinating – probably because I struggle to do it. There are one or two pieces of wooden furniture in our house…

  • >upgrades

    >Have you ever had this experience – your computer has received a message saying that it needs to update a program while you are out of the room and by the time you come back it has installed the update and is in the process of rebooting itself, never mind what else you had running at…

  • >dabbling in dark arts

    >I have been dabbling in the dark arts this week. No, not those dark arts. I have been trying to understand the vagaries and mysteries of email. I have been setting up the email system on our new computer at church and thought I had won, until I had a phone call from the office this…

  • >for best results…

    >This Sunday we are starting two new series in our services. In the mornings we are joining with lots of churches across the country looking at the Ten Commandments: Just10 and in our evenings we will be exploring the wonderful wisdom found in Ecclesiastes. I have just finished the sermon for Sunday morning, which is looking…
