    That CO2 must be pretty powerful stuff to make the Gorebot get all that excited.

    At that concentration, everytime I sneeze, I have measurable impact on the CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Geeez, what idiocy.

    Did you see the recent news in Norway that they’ve calculated that the CO2 emissions by cars in Norway is dwarfed by the amount of CO2 emissions in Norwegian moose farting and belching?

    That might be the first time I’ve ever used the phrase “Norwegian moose farting.”

    #3 – you mean it’s not the Burning Man in Nevada?? What a disappointment for the counter-culture! And dang it, some arsonist burned The Man 4 days too soon. How sad I know so much about The Burning Man, but my crazy-used to be normal-recently turned lesbian-sister whom I love – is on her way to this ummm, arts festival.

    Er, probably not Burning Man. There are a few events that I do not ever plan to see, such as Burning Man and this weekend’s Decadence Festival in New Orleans. Ugh.

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.
