Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.


Not Blogging About This

Topics I’m not blogging about: Don Imus (who? never heard of him before this last week). Duke rugby team (old news, media hype, blah blah blah. If the boys hadn’t been a drunken frat party with strippers, they’d have never been in a position they had to defend themselves). That picture going around with the man’s arm hanging out of the crocodile’s mouth (yuck). Anna Nicole Smith’s death and her daughter’s paternity case (are there any role models in this story?).

I don’t know what else I’m not blogging about because, well, I’m not blogging about it. Instead, here’s a cute picture to keep you occupied:

By 1980 it was believed that the black-footed ferret was extinct when a group of only 18 was discovered in Wyoming. With breeding taking place at the Conservation Center, the wild population is now around 500. REUTERS/Rick Wilking (UNITED STATES)
Would you like to list some thing I should *not* blog about today? 🙂

  1. Nancy Pelosi wearing a headscarf? Whether or not Rove deleted emails? How badly the Lakers are tanking?

  2. Ooh, good topics not to blog about, especially since it’s Friday. If Pelosi wore a burkha to Iran, I might blog about that. I’m glad my emails aren’t resurrected in the news. And the Lakers sounds like they may be a sports team.

    Nope. No blogging there. 😛

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.
