Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

LULAC, NAACP got nothin' on me.

Welcome to St. Patrick’s day in America. The oldest traditional Irish holiday in the new world (1762 by some accounts). We were celebrating our differences in the melting pot of America long before other immigrant groups.

Given for the Scottish son of the Roman Calphurnius and his wife, Conchessa. Padraig, at 15 became a cowherd slave to the Irish barbarians, escaped, spent a good part of his life on the continent of Europe, and Rome; and then with an angelic dream calling him to Ireland, converted a great many of the pagans there to Christianity. He began his call to conversion by … lighting a bonfire near Tara at the high Druid celebrations, on 26 March, Easter Sunday, in 433.

    I celebrated St Patty’s by going to the rodeo.

    When did dying your hair green become a tradition?

    I celebrated by spending four hours at the pediatrian’s. The Boy has pneumonia, apparently. This is the first year we haven’t celebrated in ages. Poor Boy.

    I hope he’s better.

    As for green hair, the Celts used lime in their hair for a spikey bleached look, and it did a great job at cutting down on fleas. Perhaps the green hair is a derivation of that?

    Could be. The people with the green hair sort of looked more susceptible to fleas.

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.
