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.

remote
It’s getting into the season where my thoughts start to turn to sailing again. Not the whooshing about on the waves with the wind in your hair (yes I know, “What hair?”) and ducking to avoid the boom type of sailing (it hurts more without hair if you get it wrong). I mean the more sedate…

words fail me
That is perhaps not the most optimistic title for a word-based bloggage! But there are times when words do fail us. They can fail us when we are overwhelmed – by awe, by joy, by generosity, by tragedy and by grief – by emotions that are more powerful than words can express. In the tragic circumstances…

1001 a blog oddity
Not much happened. I posted my 1000th item on my blog and there was no fanfare, no fireworks display, no laser show. I did get an automated message from WordPress congratulating me on having 1000 posts, but other than that not much happened. I wasn’t expecting anything to happen. Indeed the message from WordPress, automated…

kiloblog
So here we are, my bloggish peeps as I journal my thoughts like an online Pepys: I have managed to write a kiloblog* of entries. It’s been a slog that has taken me since February 2010 when I began revelatory ramblings based on the contents of my brain and events that happen to occur…

Emergency blog
Today’s entry is my 999th on my blog. Hence it is an emergency blog. I realise that this joke only really works in the UK, where the telephone number to dial for the emergency services is 999. There are other numbers in other parts of the world (eg 911 in USA, 112 in Europe), which…

C3H5N3O9*
Today two of my Christian siblings are meeting for the first time. They are people who are unashamed of their faith and whose faith clearly makes a difference to how they live, how they treat others and how they are perceived by others. Everyone I know who knows who these people are speaks highly of…

April Fools
What is the essence of a good April Fool’s Day prank? I suppose that first of all it has to be plausible. There’s no point in trying to persuade people that you saw just a flying elephant (unless you are watching Disney’s ‘Dumbo’). Secondly I think it has to be enticing. The premise of the…

the parable of the loose undertray
A brief bloggage today in the midst of busy-ness. I had booked my car into the garage recently because there was a ‘knocking’ that seemed to be coming from the suspension. The mechanic had a good look at it and couldn’t find a problem with the suspension. But he did find a couple of loose clips…

spot the difference
I recently needed to change the grille on the front of my car because of some damage to the badge. Actually the badge conceals the access to the mechanism to open the bonnet (hood if you are from across the Atlantic) using the key. The one at the top of the page is ‘before’ and the one…
