Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Firefly – I'm Out $391

Jo at Spin the Moon told me to order the Firefly DVD; she said if I didn’t like it, she’d buy them from me.

Since a lightning strike a few weeks earlier took out my DVD player, I bought a new one at the same time from Amazon. This one is also a DVD recorder so I can plug my old skydiving VHS in and record them onto DVD. Since I was in an ordering mood, I also bought a couple of CD’s from Claude Bolling and Jean Rampal, “Suites for Flute and Jazz Piano,” and a couple of Stephen King novels and a scifi paperback, “Hominids.” The total came to $391. If I didn’t like Firefly, Jo was going to be out a lot of money.

Dang it, it was excellent. Now I know what a real space western is. My son & I watched the 2 hour premier and the next episode; we’re going to watch 2 hours of Firefly each night this week so we can see all the episodes before he goes to college.

    Bwahahahaha…mine is an evil laugh.
    Told ya so. I haven’t had to pay up yet. Make sure after you’ve seen the episodes that you go back and watch the commentaries. Normally I hate commentaries, but these were actually worth listening to.
    Keep flyin’…

    I’m not a browncoat. I’ve only watched the 1st 2 episodes. 😛

    I found a kludge that seems to have fixed the comments for now. I’m waiting on an update from the WordPress folk to fix it permanently.

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.
