Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Pray for Rain

And the rain rain rain
came down down down
in rushing rising rivelets
till the river crept out of it’s bed
and crept right in to Piglet’s.
– A. A. Milne

The most rain in Houston for June was set in 2001 when Tropical Storm Alison parked herself overhead. We received 21.0 inches that month, as measured at Houston Intercontinental Bush Airport.

We’re within 1.8 inches of that, and there’s a 70% chance of rain this afternoon. C’mon, rain! Let’s set a record!

Next month, we’re going to try and break the July mosquito record of 83.7 mosquitos per cubic foot.

    It’s one of the privileges of living in the Armpit Capital of the United States.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
