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.

the secret of God’s timing
Isn’t God’s timing fantastic? I can’t give details but I have just experienced that this morning – where someone’s generosity led to someone else receiving a gift at exactly the right time when only that person and God knew of the need. I was the courier in the experience and left rejoicing and laughing at…

Tiny extra bonus blog relating to one of my interests that does not get many mentions – and now this blog title is longer than the actual blog entry!
I have just performed a card trick for my son, Thomas, and he is impressed and bemused. A FIRST!! Woohoo.

circular blogging
There is a risk that I may create some sort of vortex of mutual appreciation that sucks in the whole Universe, but here goes anyway. I was stunned this morning to see that my ickle blog was mentioned in the Baptist Union’s daily E-news sweep email. If you came here as a result of that, bless…

Do we know what Michael Gove was doing in the late 80s? Is Pob now serving in the UK Government under a new name? Are there any other puppets…

men are from mars, women go shopping
Today is my day off. I am killing time while waiting for my daughter to be ready so we can go into town to buy one or two ‘essentials’. I have observed that there is a clear division of the genders when it comes to shopping. Men know what they want and when they see…

Church meetings
Church Meeting tonight. They seem to come around quicker and quicker. I have to say that they are a pleasure at our church. (I have to say it because it is true, not because someone is forcing me to or because it’s my job to enjoy them). There’s a sense of family and a desire…

reflecting on an awesome photo
What do you make of this picture? I can’t remember where I found it online (so if it was from your website, thank you and I hope you don’t mind me using it here). The picture fascinates me for many reasons: Reason the first: how disciplined must those dogs be?! All of them look ready…
