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.

Grandma’s lamp
I have a desk lamp that belonged to one of my Grandmas. I have had it for a while and when I came to Colchester I thought it would be useful at the church. I put it on my desk in the ministers’ office at the church when I was setting up there, and it…

lump in throat time
Last weekend was my last as Minister at Colchester Baptist Church. I want to thank everyone at the church for a wonderful send off. I had a lump in my throat the whole weekend, tears in my eyes occasionally and they’ve come back even as I write this bloggage. We had a party on the Saturday night…

a rubbish bloggage
This morning I visited the emporium of a well-known retailer of stationery products (they were also stationary due to the effects of inertia, friction and gravity). I am not endorsing them over any other retailers, but their name is a type of paper-fastening device. (The fact that it was a stationery retailer is incidental to…

severing the ties

Yesterday I was at church for our lunch club and absent-mindedly left my briefcase at the church when I drove home. I almost got home when I realised what I had done. So I turned around and headed back to the church where those who were clearing up had found it and were about to…

Grandma’s cupcakes
I was interviewed at a church event last Sunday and was asked (amongst other things) what my favourite cake is. I had been given notice that I would be asked this question so I had had a chance to think about my answer. I thought about all of the wonderful cakes that my wife bakes.…

building temples
The passages in the Bible that I have been look at recently are about the Temple that King Solomon built. Well, let’s be honest, he didn’t build it himself. He gave the order and a team of skilled craftsmen and labourers set to work to build it. There’s no record of him even laying a…

pithy saying
Inspired by one of the testimonies from three amazing ladies who were baptised at our church on Sunday: Don’t leave what God wants you to do on your ‘to do list’… it may end up on your bucket list! Be blessed, be a blessing
