About Michael

I’m a turbomachinery / mechanical engineer. I started this blog to post random stuff I found funny, and it slowly became a place to pass along what God has taught me.  I find it odd that many men define themselves by their chosen occupation, but “I’m an ex-skydiver” or “I’m a game player” doesn’t quite sound the same.

For much of my adult life, I was a single father and a part-time Christian (Sunday through Thursday only). I remarried briefly back in 1996, but after that marriage failed, I went to Singapore to find God. Found Him, too; turns out He wasn’t lost after all. In 1999, I finally understood why Jesus died for me. I became a “born-again” believer. And the more I study God’s Word, the more I find that the meaning of life was there all along and I chose not to see it. The meaning is simple: love God, serve people, and do it all out of love for the One who made that sacrifice, so that someday I can stand in the presence of the Most High God, covered by what Jesus did for me. He made this sacrifice for you, too, and all you have to do to receive it is… ask.

The name “Chasing the Wind” comes from Ecclesiastes 1:14: “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.” No matter what you do, for work or for pleasure, if you’re not living for the glory of God, what you’re doing is meaningless. Living for God gives life meaning, and even the days that feel like chasing the wind become something to enjoy as His gift. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

I live in Sugar Land, Texas, and I’m married to my ex-wife, who also found Jesus after our divorce. God’s miracles amaze me. 🙂
