Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Fruit for Breakfast

I asked a co-worker this morning how things were going. That’s a meaningless phrase, now that I think about it. What things? Where are they going?

His answer: things were just peachy. And I realized that didn’t answer the question. Peachy isn’t a destination. “Where are you going? Peachy?”

I asked him if there were any other fruit that might describe his day. Kiwi? Watermellon? Strawberry? He wasn’t aware of any other fruits. He was walking very fast.

I suggested peachy was better than his day going bananas, and I hope his day didn’t get all figged up. I think he was trotting now.

Conversations with me before coffee hurt everybody involved.

    I thought you’d be grapefruitful for my post, so don’t give me a raison to punish you.

    Its uncanney how you pick on fresh fruit.

    ..and I don’t want to hear anyone wine through the grapevine.

    p.s. If you are what you eat, I’m staying away from the nuts!

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.
