Four Year Blogiversary
It seems they grow up so fast. Chasing the Wind is now 4 years old. Happy Birthday! I find it amazing how fast things have changed in the last 4 years. Then, blogs were amazing new inventions. “You mean, *I* can write something on the web? Don’t I need permission or something?” Today, sites like [...]

This week we follow Joseph into prison. If we’re headed to prison with him, let’s recap how we got here. We know that Joseph was born into a family that was trying to follow God’s will but at the same time was highly dysfunctional. Joseph had eleven other brothers, born to four different women. His [...]

I’m a wee bit sunburned. You know the drill; a) go outside, b) get burned, c) reflect that sunscreen would have been a good idea. At least, those are the steps if you’re a guy. Women tend to reflect on the sunscreen part first. We spent the day last Saturday at Washington-on-the-Brazos Texas State Park [...]

You’ve probably read that American Airlines cancelled thousands of flights. I blame the government for a combination of ineptitude and heavyhandedness. From what I can tell, inspections of Southwest Airlines and others like American Airlines were light. Things were allowed to be “good enough.” The some FAA official was criticized. Southwest Airlines had to cancel [...]

Where’s the spam? I get around 1800 pieces of email spam a month; it’s been that way for at least 3 years. But in the last month, I’ve only received 550 pieces of email spam. And in the last week, only about 20 pieces of spam. At this rate, I’ll only get about 100 pieces [...]

Chasing the Wind is honored to host the 219th edition of the Christian Carnival II, the blogosphere’s best Christian writing. My comments on the post in italics after each entry, but I left the author’s original thoughts when he or she provided them. I included almost all posts I received; I excluded two from the [...]

Once upon a time I wrote about a galloping buzz generated by my computer monitor, my desk phone, all sorts of electronics. Dwight Silverman had written an article on the same subject a few days before, and I was prompted to share my experience. I think there’s a solution to this annoying buzz – there’s [...]

Dysfunctional: abnormal or unhealthy interpersonal behavior or interaction within a group. We’ve been studying a dysfunctional family now for the last several weeks. They’re a mess! We had Abraham; Abraham had been promised by God that he would have so many children, as many as there were stars in the heavens. How long did Abraham [...]

It’s as good a title as any. Some time ago, I wrote a book review on The Grand Weaver by Ravi Zacharias. A book I enjoyed immensely, about how we can only see the individual threads in God’s grand tapestry, but our thread is important. It was all about following God’s will for us. I [...]

I am amused. This should be a simple task; telling the client in Qatar what time our meeting starts in Indiana. I found out that this state has been arguing about the time for nearly two centuries. Some people who have ties back to New York want Eastern Standard Time. Others, who work with Chicago, [...]
