Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Germany River Trip to Mosel

Thanks to my business partners, I now have some nice photos of the weekend excursions we went on. I have some lovely pictures of the machinery we came to review and inspect, but you don’t want to see those. 😛

First of all, the trip down the river to Mosel. This would have been a lovely outing for an afternoon, but by the end of the day I wanted to jump overboard. From hotel to Mosel and back was like 15 hours. The countryside was beautiful though, was it not? Oh, and that one picture of me holding a travel brochure – it’s all in the way you pronounce your German words. Translated, it means something like “The trip to Burgen,” but in English it sounds like a Renaissance battle cry: “Die, Burgenfahrt!” Or maybe it just sounded like that to me after a 15 hour boat ride to a little winery that was closed. I probably should have jumped overboard to save us all.

More pics coming later today, it’s taking a bit of time to get them all uploaded.

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.
