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)

  • you’re a joke

    Jokes are funny. I know that we don’t all find all of them to be ‘funny haha’ but they are ‘funny peculiar’. What I find funny (peculiar) is the vast range and variety of different jokes. Some work best when observed or read on the page or screen; others work best when spoken or performed. Some…

  • recycling

    I think we mostly agree that recycling is a good thing. It saves resources and reduces wastage. We may find it a hassle when we have to sort out our cardboard and paper from our plastics from our tins from our bottles from our garden waste from our food waste from our non-recyclables but on…

  • take a tablet

    Christians sometimes pay more attention to the Ten Commandments than the Sermon on the Mount. On the basis that we pay most attention to what is written on tablets of stone Jesus has sent another stone tablet… Be blessed, be a blessing  

  • small children in the park, tea towels for goalposts?

    The text below comes from an article in today’s The Independent newspaper. Click on the link for the full glory of the article and cheesy pics. Chelsea have made some star signings over the years but this one would trump the lot – that of Jesus Christ. However, even with all his roubles, Chelsea owner Roman…

  • The sermon of the surmounter*

    I have just come back from a 24 hour retreat. We spent time reflecting on and listening to the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). It is a sermon that is full of wisdom, insight, challenge, encouragement and even a little humour. The way my brain works, I wondered what a modern-day version of the…

  • change is inevitable apart from a vending machine (as I have previously said on this bloggage)

    Things have changed a lot since I was a teenager. Technology has changed significantly (I am sat in a room with two other people who are also typing on their Turing Machines*) and has affected how we access and share information as well as how we communicate with one another. There’s a line in the…

  • bad news good news

    This week Microsoft announced that they were pulling the plug on their clipart. Apparently it was because so many of us now search for images online that there has not been much demand for clipart. That’s bad news. Not because I am a big fan of clipart. And I do search for images (royalty free)…

  • McChurch?

    So here I am, sitting in a well-known fast food restaurant, waiting for the lava-hot java coffee to cool enough for me to drink (that may give you a clue as to which Mc Restaurant I am in) and using their wifi. I am indulging in two of my favourite pastimes when I have time…

  • listening to the satnav

    Do you have a Satellite Navigation System? And if you do, do you talk back to yours, or is it just me? Do you argue with yours, or is it just me? Do you always obey yours? My satnav has live traffic updates and about a week ago as I was travelling to a meeting…

  • tribute

    On Friday evening Sally and I went to the annual dinner for the Magic Club to which I belong – Mid Essex Magical Society (MEMS). It was a really enjoyable evening and included awards for the two annual competitions for close-up and stage magic. I had come third in the stage magic competition and was…
