Margaret River Bushfire

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 11:07:47 -0500

On Friday I assisted a resident whose house in Gnarabup was damaged in the November Margaret River bushfire. I found it amazing that so few houses were destroyed. The firefighters clearly did a brilliant job to save so many homes! Even more amazing is the fact that God's Son Jesus Christ can save people from death! 2 Timothy 1:9-10 says: God... Read More

Eternal Victory

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:55:45 -0500

The news that Alberto Contador has been stripped of his 2010 Tour de France title got me thinking about these Bible verses: Every competitor in athletic events goes into serious training. Athletes will take tremendous pains-for a fading crown of leaves. But our contest is for a crown that will never fade. I run the race then with determination.... Read More

My first marathon (3rd & final part)

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 07:06:33 -0500

The prize for finishing the marathon was a T-Shirt, a great feeling of achievement & a cool medal. To win the prizes you have to register and follow the marked course. Naturally, the prize isn't given to everyone who starts the marathon - you have to reach the finish line. My time was 3 hours, 52 minutes, 44 seconds. The Bible talks about the pr... Read More

My first marathon (part 2)

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:38:39 -0400

I'm sure my marathon was more successful because I followed good advice. Not having run a marathon before, I bought some books by experienced marathoners. I recommend 'Run Your First Marathon' by Grete Waitz & Gloria Averbuch (Skyhorse Publishing). They told me how to train. I wasn't really fit when I started training in January but because I follo...

My first marathon (part 1)

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 11:21:01 -0400

In August I ran my first marathon. It was the Chevron City to Surf in Perth, Western Australia. In some ways I think life is like a marathon: >Running a marathon is hard work! I felt really good for the first 10 kilometres. But for the rest of the marathon I had sore legs, especially when the hills began at the halfway point. By the last hill it w... Read More

What a marvellous win in the Tour de France by Cadel Evans! It's inspiring to see how he narrowed the gap in the final Alps stage - despite some bike trouble. A courageous comeback win! Next month I will run my first Marathon at the Perth City to Surf. I know Cadel's victory wi... Read More
