Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Blessed Christmas to All

Ho Ho Ho!!!
This was a special, blessed Christmas for me in so many ways this year. My son came home to visit from college, my step-father got to come home from the hospital, I spent Christmas Eve with my beautiful sweetheart for the first time in years, and wonders of wonders it snowed on Christmas Eve in Houston like a frosting on the wonderful gifts I’ve received this year.

I pray the Christmas season has found you safe and warm and surrounded by family, too, as we celebrate the remembrance of our Savior’s birth so many years ago. Merry Christmas to all of you.

    Apparently we’re all away for the holidays. 🙂

    I think it’s time to change that banner above that says “363 Days to Christmas.”

    I’m still here & I didn’t overeat too much over Christmas so I’m still able to sit upright at the computer and read/write.
    You can always count down till Easter – afer all it’s significance is much greater than Christmas and new year.

    I might put my son’s birthday on there since it comes before Easter.

    I think you and I, Diane, are the only two people reading Chasing the Wind this week. 🙂

    I read it almost everyday. Just don’t like to type most of those days.

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.
