Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Saturday Stress Relief

I went to visit my step-father in the hospital today; I hope to visit him tomorrow if he’s up for company. I had trouble finding a parking spot because they had torn up the road for construction.

At home, I met with a contractor to install a new dryer vent. He was here for 4 hours and almost finished. My entire upstairs is a construction site in the meantime.

So I went to get groceries for the New Balance Singles Christmas Party tonight. I had trouble getting out of the neighborhood because of construction, so I tried to cut over a back road. That didn’t work because of construction there, too. After waiting to get to the store single file, I made it to the parking lot that was torn up because of construction.

Way too much construction. It’s everywhere. I need some stress relief for the day. Let me see if I can find a picture that will make all the girls say “Awwwww….. how cute!”

Ah, here’s one:

We're so adorable. I bet we're expensive, too.

    The brown one in the foreground looks a little bit like a damp furball with eyes. The white one on the left looks like a plastic wind-up kitty your can buy at Toys-R-Us. And the brown one in the background looks like he’s filled with rage.

    Still, they’re a bit cute in a wet, wind-up, homicidal furball kind of way.

    Come’on guys – quit your complaining. Construction is good.
    P.S. – are you installing a way to clear that vent in the future?

    Construction is good if it’s someplace else. And yes, I had the entire dryer vent replaced with new pipe. All done for now. 🙂

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.
