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.

introducing…
I have volunteered to be the compère at some of the Mid Essex Magical Society‘s shows. In preparation I have been looking for some good ways to introduce my friends. I have found some lovely ones (which I am going to keep for the shows) but also came across these ways of introducing people (mainly…

new use
What are you supposed to do with your son’s bedroom while he is away at University? Do you leave it just as it was when he left, like some sort of shrine – unwilling to change anything so it is just as he left it when he returns; or afraid to change things in case that…

the parable of the creativity
Today I have been creative. Well, I think I have been creative. I have put together combinations of letters to form words that I believe make some sort of sense when I put them together. I have put images with words to illustrate them. I have sent some of the creativity to other people for…

angry with God
There’s been a fair amount of publicity given to Stephen Fry’s impassioned response to the question, “Suppose it’s all true, and you walk up to the pearly gates, and are confronted by God, what will Stephen Fry say to him, her, or it?” The question was posed by Gabriel Byrne in a series on Irish…

Random Bloggage Chooser
Over the years I have been blogging I have generated an awful lot of text. (Or should that be a lot of awful text?) Anyway, in lieu of today’s bloggage being a fresh one I have a challenge for you, but it will mean that you have to (b)log on to my blog on WordPress…

cupboard love
The room in which I study at home is quite small: in some houses it would be called a cupboard. But I can squeeze all my bookshelves (three big ones), my desk and chair, a drawer unit, a couple of other shelves for general gubbins, various magic trick storage boxes and a CD/DVD shelving unit…

watching, learning and maturing
When I was a child I did childish things (understandably). I remembered yesterday how I had admired a friend’s digital watch (they were new and exciting then) and especially how it had some solar panels on it to prolong the battery life. That was amazing. I had been given a digital watch for my birthday…

the Columbidae conundrum
What is unusual about this picture? Don’t focus on trying to look into the windows. You just did, didn’t you! But there’s nothing unusual to see there. The unusual thing is the concentration of pigeons and doves on the roof. We can see this rooftop from our house. I don’t know if it is unusual…

under new management?
So I went into the garage and asked the man, “Have you got a fuel cap for my Skoda?” And the man thought for a moment and said, “Sounds like a fair swap!” I wonder if you’ve come across that joke before? Skoda cars used to be the butt of jokes that were based on…
