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.

well said
Sometimes someone has said it better than you can. This comes from UCB’s Word for Today on 11 September 2013: Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing…

in finite resources
We are constantly reminded that this planet’s resources are finite. There is only a limited amount of oil and gas in the ground. There is only so much ore to be mined. There are only so many things that can be made. Even the Sun will run out eventually (although not for a loooong time!).…

wmphlgthulp
That’s what it sounds like when you are speaking and put your foot in it. It happened to me this morning at the conference I am attending. I am one of the people who are trying to make the tech stuff do what we want and one of the speakers, who was running PowerPoint (or…

you shouldn’t walk alone
Today I head off for three days with a large number of Baptist Ministers. You might think I must have done something very bad to have to suffer that. But you’d be wrong.

a cartoon that made me smile
This CartoonChurch.com cartoon by Dave Walker originally appeared in the Church Times. Go to his site by clicking on the picture. It reminded me of some of the roped off areas at Canterbury Cathedral…

I think this is so it is set aside for people to pray and reflect without being disturbed by flash photography. It interested me because it reminded me of a…

an ickle bloggage to break you back in
Well, we’re back. We had a lovely couple of days in which we marked off another year on my calendar and celebrated that I am one year closer to retirement (although they keep moving the goalposts for that!). We went to Canterbury and I went into the Cathedral for the first time ever. It is…

Just so you know…
Just so you know, I am taking a few days’ leave this week so won’t be lobbing bloggages at you for a couple of days… but it may well provide me with more thoughts and reflections. You have been warned!

revelation
In correspondence to a friend earlier this morning I had a moment of revelation that I thought I would share with you: Is one reason that people think churches are full of hypocrites because Christians are imperfect people trying to follow a perfect Lord and our imperfections show up in greater relief against the life and…

just a thought…
This is not a criticism. Let me get that out there first. I am using something that happened this week to make a wider point. This week the Church of England met in Synod. Without making any judgements at all it is interesting to me to consider how many of the subjects of discussion and…
