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)

  • it is finished

    I have finished. I can’t quite believe it. It should have been a very difficult task. I should be struggling through it. I should be looking for distractions that will keep me from the task. But it happened so quickly and easily that I am now wondering whether I have got it right! What have I…

  • 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…

  • black hairy…

    medical update So far the good news is that my tongue is still not black and hairy (see ‘side effects’ post if that comment means nothing to you). The bad news is that I smashed my little toe on a castor on our bed yesterday and I now have a black hairy toe. I think…

  • 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…

  • Side effects

    I have now seen a physician who has taken my temperature, peered down my throat as I said ‘Aaaah’ and diagnosed a sore throat. She was not prepared to diagnose it as Man Flu (notice her gender, see yesterday) and did not give the ailment a name. I felt bereft, not being able to give…

  • man flu

    I’m currently feeling sorry for myself. I have a very sore throat, runny nose and headache on top of the usual headache. Some of you will be able to diagnose the problem as ‘man flu’. Others will suggest rather disparagingly that it doesn’t even qualify as a cold. It is entirely probable that the diagnoses…

  • I am over 100!

    Little things please little minds. I have now had over 100 people visit my blog since I stuck a counter on it. If one of them was you, thank you. And thank you for coming back. Your visits make it all worthwhile. Eventually the counter will be spinning so fast it resembles an old-fashioned petrol pump…

  • >Phone Upgrades

    > My phone has recently updated its software. (There’s a sentence that even five years ago I would not have thought I would ever type). It is not just a little tweak, it has changed the style and format of the user interface (how I access the stuff on it for the non-jargon literate). There are…

  • >The Return of the Redeye

    >Take one large house on the Suffolk coast in the shadow of a nuclear power station. Add about 80 people of all ages. Allow to blend for about five days. Garnish with good weather, new friendships, exploration of the Bible, late night conversations, wide games and several people falling in the boating lake. Et voila!…
