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 may have trouble sleeping tonight.
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.

I offered, but I don’t think she’s the blogging type. She likes to comment occasionally, though. 🙂

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.

His wife tried on a new dress and asked, “Does this dress make me look fat?” He answered with complete honesty. It was true – and it was also unwise.

Two weeks ago, Tommy used home renovation shows—things like Property Brothers—to help us think about rebuilding.

We don’t always stop to think about it, but even something as ordinary as getting to work safely is evidence of God’s care.

- Esther: Queen of the Darkest NightI. Introduction Israel had long been warned that disobedience would lead to captivity. Jerusalem fell, many were exiled, and empires changed hands. Daniel not only foretold the rise of Persia—he also lived through the transfer of power as God’s people remained in exile. Esther takes place in the Persian Empire after Babylon fell, when many… Read more: Esther: Queen of the Darkest Night
- God’s Plan: A New Year, A New YouI. Jeremiah the Prophet It’s a new year—time to change the page on the calendar… unless, like me, you use a digital calendar. Then you don’t change the page; you press a button. Either way, it feels like a fresh start. But Scripture reminds us that “new” isn’t mainly about the calendar. The Bible’s… Read more: God’s Plan: A New Year, A New You
