Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.


Down Time

A lot to do this weekend so posting will be even slower then normal without Michael around. My son is home from Iraq this week and we are going fishing this weekend. Sunday, we head out for east Texas to help family with repairs from the hurricane. Hopefully Michael can post a few the first of the week to take up some dead WWW.
Just so that you feel like you have not wasted your time coming here today, here is a picture of my step sisters dog napping.

    I don’t blame you, bro. Spend time with your son; I wish I could see him. Tell him Uncle Mike is very proud of him, too.

    I’ll try to post in the evenings. I have a few days of downtime coming; I’m thinking of a day trip to Heidelberg to see a castle. I need some other ideas though; this little town of Duisburg is getting small.

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.
