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.

of sermons and cam belts
Because of other things happening later in the week, today is day one of two days of sermon preparation. It feels a bit strange because I do not usually tackle a sermon until later in the week and I will have had longer to ponder. It remains to be seen whether or not this is…

making a splash
The story is told of a Catholic priest, Anglican vicar and Baptist Minister who were arguing about which was the true church: “It’s the Church of England,” said the vicar, “Because we have our origins in the King of England, Henry VIII.” “But the origins of the Catholic Church go right back to St Peter,”…

>can’t get you out of my head
>Have you ever had the experience where you have had a song in your head that you just can’t shake? I wonder how many of you started thinking of the Kylie song when you read the title and can’t get it out of your head now. It’s not so bad if it’s a song you like, but…

>Blue Screen Of Death
> Yesterday our home computer decided to show us the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD). For those of you who have Apple Computers, stop laughing. For those of you who run Windows and have never seen the BSOD – how have you avoided it? Here’s a picture of what it looks like for the uninitiated…Essentially it…

Look what I made
F’dum Verb: to raise the spring-loaded footrest on a sofa or armchair (onomatopoeic) Waclumph Verb: to lower the spring-loaded footrest on a sofa or armchair (also onomatopoeic) You heard it here first.

incommunicado
Yesterday evening I thought I had broken the internet. We could not get any connection from our house and I wondered if somehow I had pressed the wrong button and deleted the whole of the World Wide Web. Oops! On reflection, however, it seems that nobody else suffered the same problems and it is likely that…

playing with dough
Interesting day today. I spent most of the morning in our Bright Sparks group with pre-school children and their parents / carers. As well as setting out a Wooden Railway (which stayed mostly intact through the session so it must have been a good layout) I spent lots of time playing with play dough (home-made,…

Good morning children. Good Morning Mr Williams, good morning everyone
I’ve just got back from taking part in a Primary School Assembly and remembered how we used to greet everyone in my Primary School (as in the title). Of course the words were not spoken normally, they had a rhythm and melody that went with them! The purpose of our visit was to give out…

>a tidy desk is a sign that you do not have enough to do…
> My study is a bit of a mess at the moment. I think it’s the result of me not working in it properly for about a month so I have dumped stuff in piles, in ‘in trays’ and anywhere there is space. The piles have started getting tall enough to fall over. I sense…

>remember, remember…
>Why are we human beings obsessed with calendars? More specifically, why are we so keen on remembering dates? (Or trying to remember them if we are blokes) We celebrate our birthdays on the same day of the year each year. Married people celebrate the anniversary of the day they were married. In the UK we…
