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.

shudder
One of my favourite cartoon films is Disney’s The Lion King. It may be the last of the great animated cartoons in the classic style (as opposed to computer-generated animation) and has all the right ingredients: great characters voiced wonderfully by great actors; a mixture of humour and pathos; a baddy; love; and catchy songs. I…

an election-free zone (well almost)
In the light of the electoral confusion and (perhaps) chaos I feel the need to offer something that is not about the election. That is not to say that I think it is unimportant (far from it) but it seems like the whole country is on the radio, TV and twittering and blogging about it…

invention is the necessity of mothers
The heating is off in the church. It hasn’t broken down, we simply switch it off at the end of April each year and turn it back on in the autumn. As soon as we switch off the heating you can be sure that the weather will turn colder and we will all feel the cold.…

wedding wound up
We’re back from the epic journey and wedding last weekend. It was a brilliant wedding and I hope that my Mum and Mike felt the love and joy as much as we did. I can now tie up a few loose ends in an abbreviated blog because there’s a lot else for me to catch up…

Bob is contagious
My car is called ‘Shrek’. That is because when you look at its shadow when the sun is behind you the sticky-out wing mirrors and bulky body shell make it look like the animated character Shrek’s head. The observant among you will have noticed that while the car in the picture bears a strong resemblance to…

what goes on in your head in the night?
Yesterday I had a really good idea for a blog entry. Or at least I thought it was a good idea. Today I can’t remember anything about it, except that it seemed like a good idea. It’s so frustrating. It’s as if during my night’s sleep the internal white board on which I write the important…

what to preach?
Sooo, you’re preaching at your mother’s wedding in just over a week’s time and have been asked to provide a reading (from the Bible). What to choose? Best to avoid some of the Proverbs (“a nagging wife is like a dripping tap”, “better to live on the roof than share a house with a nagging…
