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.

blessing
Yesterday we baptised three people with very different stories about how they came to faith, how Jesus has made a difference in their lives, and how they decided that it was good to be baptised. We had one man who had only recently come to faith and told us of how his faith was helping…

Touching places
I have just heard a news report that doesn’t surprise me. Apparently we are running out of space in cemeteries. I have often wondered about that when driving past cemeteries and graveyards. We have a finite amount of space and an increasing need for it. When I was younger I used to think that cemeteries…

churches are like washing machines
In the beginning was the washing machine. It stood silently in the kitchen, mouth slightly open, waiting for someone to feed it.

Because you’re worth it
No, I haven’t got a corporate sponsor. Today I’m taking time off because I worked some of my last day off and will be working some of my next day off too. A principle that has been laid down from early days is that it is good to rest as well as to work. Regardless…

you’ve got post
To balance yesterday’s numptyism I thought that today you might like to receive a letter from Jesus. Dear Numpty er, sorry, wrong letter! Try this one: Be blessed, be a blessing
