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)

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’…

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…
