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.

customer service
I do like nice coffee. It is one of my little indulgences. And to that end I was chuffed when Sally (Mrs Nukelearfishing) gave me a nice glass mug (full of sweets) for Valentine’s Day. Somehow it makes drinking nice coffee just that little bit nicer. In fact it was so nice that when I…

harumph!?
In case you didn’t realise I was away at a conference for the first three days of this week. While I was there I was checking my emails when I saw an urgent message from someone who needed a relatively instant response from me that I was unable to deal with until I got home.…

from the conference
Today is the second day of the Eastern Baptist Association Ministers’ Conference (#ebaminconf). I have a small problem (or at least the one I am prepared to admit to is small). I have been asked to preach on a particular passage from the Bible at one of our churches in March and one of our…

and the loser is…
I am intrigued by all of the hype and attention that the Academy Awards (aka Oscars) have gained in the news media this morning. There is a lot of triumphant jingoistic celebration of those Brits who have won awards. I am not having a grump about that at all. Well done to them, I say. But…

And relax
I’m going to be enjoying a few days of leave now so no more bloggages this week (stop cheering!). I hope and pray that you will find refreshing activities or rest this week too. You’re worth it. Be blessed, be a blessing

evicted
Today is my eviction anniversary*. 48 years ago I was unceremoniously evicted from the comforting, nurturing, nourishing place I had spent the first 9 months of my existence into a cold, bright, noisy environment that I had never imagined existed. I don’t think I wanted to leave the womb-warmth – which may explain why most…

I am reading a wonderful book at the moment. It’s called ‘stand’ and is written by Karl Martin, who was at Bible College at the same time as me (feel the reflective glory!). Indeed we played in the same football time. Or rather, I played in goal in the same team as Karl. When Karl…

accidental blessings
In my role as a Regional Minister I am quite itinerant. I am never in the same place for long. I feel a bit like a bee, buzzing around from church to church seeking to be a blessing, being blessed by being with them and at the same time sharing thoughts, ideas and contacts with…

hair
I have been considering passages in the Bible that speak to the follicly challenged (see the image below if you wonder why I am writing about this): Matthew 10:29-31 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. 30 And even the…

gulp
Today I have been signing my life away. Or at least, that’s how it feels. I have been asked to act as guarantor for someone. Whilst I know them and trust them and I have no reason to doubt that they will pay what they owe it still felt a bit ‘gulp’ when I clicked ‘send’…
