Crossing Over: My Journey to Ironman
2009-09-19 23:04:00 To me, Ironman isn't about checking another item off the Bucket List. It's about pushing yourself to go beyond your mental limits to really see what's possible. As famed runner Steve Prefontaine said, "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."By Richard RatayIt's been 36 hours since I crossed the finish line at Ironman Wisconsin. My back hurts. My feet hurt. I have blisters the size of quarters on my feet. Even my ego is bruised.I took kicks to the head. I was broasted by the sun. I don't think I ever want to taste a sports drink again. My bike and I are not on speaking terms.But I also feel something that I have never...
A Fundamentalist Self-Critique
2009-08-24 05:11:00 The last few years have seen the world wide web do a number on fundamentalism. I speak particularly of the independent fundamental Baptist (IFB) movement, and the influence of blogs like Sharper Iron (SI). Jason Janz, SI’s founder, published his young fundamentalist survey, and soon thereafter Phil Johnson (of Pyromaniac fame), delivered his speech “Dead Right: ...
Hair Removal- My journey into hell.

The Bible on Hair Care
2009-05-08 13:49:00 No, I haven’t yet found a Biblical defense for using Pert’s Plus. I’m talking about what the Bible says about hair length.

My Journey
2008-09-02 21:51:00 There are two ways to read this blog.You can either read it as I wrote it or you can read the episodes I have been recounting in the sequence in which they occurred.The egomaniac in me would like to think that the Story of S could, with a certain amount of editing, be turned into a book worthy of publication. Obviously, I couldn't ever let that happen for fear of the consequences but I do sometimes allow myself to fantasise. God knows what inner trauma it would cause me if the opportunity ever arose.However, a book, unlike a blog, cannot give both views. Looking back, I am personally fascinated by the other story in this blog: the personal journey I took as I wrote it.The blog's purpose has changed more than once along the way.In the beginning I didn't really have a clear objective. In fact, I didn't initially intend for it to be a blog with an infidelity theme. I just began to write about what came into my head.But the theme quickly emerged. It was as if my blog became the esca...

It was Brigham Young who moved his people to the West to claim this land. Claim land that no one else wanted. What a wise move?to take what no one else wanted. To see beauty in what other people don?t bother casting more than a glance.To look past the obvious.... When was the last time any of us looked past the obvious?? In our hurried, modern day life?. We rush from place to place. Some of us will spend an eternity looking for Mr. Right or Mrs...

My Journey to Successfully buying a Home
2008-04-24 16:09:00 A good friend of mine recently bought a house in Sydney, after a long and ardorous search. In talking with him I thought his journey to buying a house would make a great post. He was kind enough to agree to write something for Finance ViewPoint and here is his story with real numbers. Thanks for taking the time to do this EH. There are some great learning points here when or if you are already looking to buy a place in today's tough housing market.Recently my wife and I got married, and for us this was an easy decision. A harder decision was working out where we were going to live and how we wanted to go about becoming financially secure. I have jotted down some of the experiences that we went through recently that may enlighten and assist you in the process of buying a houseFirstly we had to decide where we wanted to live. For me I didn?t care too much but my wife certainly did. She had an area picked out near her parents and family and friends. While it was not a deal breaker for...
