I had a good time at my sisters this weekend along with her husband and daughter. Among the many accomplishments –
– Saw “Vanity Fair” except for about 10 minutes where the sound disappeared;
– My sister challenged me that I couldn’t pet her cat, and if I could, she’d give me a shiny nickel. That nickel is now on display at my house as witness to my superior cat petting abilities;
– We had ice cream (and only ice cream) for dinner;
– she’s now hooked on Firefly, too. Mwahaha.

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.

We don’t always stop to think about it, but even something as ordinary as getting to work safely is evidence of God’s care.

- Esther: Queen of the Darkest NightI. Introduction Israel had long been warned that disobedience would lead to captivity. Jerusalem fell, many were exiled, and empires changed hands.

Esther takes place in the Persian Empire after Babylon fell, when many… Read more: Esther: Queen of the Darkest Night
- God’s Plan: A New Year, A New YouI. Jeremiah the Prophet It’s a new year—time to change the page on the calendar… unless, like me, you use a digital calendar. Then you don’t change the page; you press a button. Either way, it feels like a fresh start. But Scripture reminds us that “new” isn’t mainly about the calendar. The Bible’s… Read more: God’s Plan: A New Year, A New You
