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.

inspired by grace
On Sunday evening at Colchester Baptist Church we will be having another of our film nights. This time we will be watching ‘Invictus’, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. The film is based around the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa, but it is as much about rugby as ‘Gone With The Wind’ is about…

turning back
Good morning bloggists. For those who are not looking nostalgically at the picture here today I should perhaps explain that it is a record player (aka turntable). It is the analogue way in which many people used to access their music. The record (the big black disc) rotates at 33 rpm and the needle or…

prayer for today
Incarnate Christ, not distant or isolated but intimately present among us, help me to be more like you and less self-centred, self-absorbed and self-obsessed. When I am out and about help me not simply to glance or look at the people I meet: help me to see them as you see them. When I become…

broken angel
While I was on Sabbatical Leave in autumn 2012 I took a week’s retreat at the Society of Mary and Martha in Devon, on the edge of Dartmoor. It was a wonderfully refreshing and relaxing time. On my last day I went into their little shop and saw a small stone angel, praying. I felt…

a pome for the weekend
Here is a pome what I have writ… it will also appear in the ‘pomes’ section of this blog in due course. (Bearing in mind that some people have to work at weekends, this pome is transferrable to other days off). Weekends are Designed for strengthening us when we feel weakened: Rest, recreation, relaxation and re-creation are…

bless you!
On Sunday evening our church is hosting a service of gratitude and blessing for the health and caring services of our town. I posted a poster on this site last week, and also is here. This morning I have been working on this service and in case you are considering coming let me say that…

Today’s bloggage, hopefully…
Okay, sorry about the glitch – I accidentally deleted the content just after I had posted it. Sorry if you are getting loads of notifications that don’t work. I didn’t know what would happen when I clicked on a button! And that’s what I was blogging about, ironically. I wrote bloggage about how I didn’t…

bringing together two of my passions – magic and sci-fi
In the midst of a busy time I have only got something here to make you chuckle. This cartoon comes from Savage Chickens, and I think speaks for itself. If you click on the image it will take you to the Savage Chickens website. It is used here with permission Be blessed, be a blessing
