The World and the Wind Scatter. Christ Secures.
The 20-year-old blog "Chasing the Wind" began as lighthearted stories and evolved to address politics, faith, and the author's personal experiences. With gratitude, the author acknowledges the impact of their faith, sharing learnings and teaching Bible study for 18 years. They express appreciation for the support of their readers.
New host today, and I'm testing the interface to see if it connects to Facebook, Twitter, MySocialEgoIsHuge.net (that website is unregistered so you can claim it if you wish) , and so on.

Yeah, I know. Chasing the Wind has been sleepy for a while. My passion for pithy comments has waned somewhat, Facebook has replaced the blog as the social network, and I'm on hiatus from bible study teaching so there are no lessons to post. But hey, I still own this domain name. š
Welcome to the CLXXVIII edition of the Christian Carnival. Whoa, CLXXVIII. That's a lot of Roman letters just to say it's the 278th edition. My apologies for the late edition. Real life, as always, got in the way. No excuses, I'm just late. This week's best Christian writing is presented for your intellectual perusement and … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCLXXVIII
Cover via AmazonRemember when blogging was new? The word "blog" itself was new. The whole concept of people finding an outlet to express whatever was on their mind in a forum that reached globally was new. Now it's ordinary. People create blogs for their pets now. Or maybe the pets themselves do it, it's so … Continue reading Happy 5th Birthday
Liberal conundrum: US Agency for International Development has distributed 10 billion US-made condoms around the world. To save money, they can switch to Chinese-made condoms. They're less than half the price. But that will eliminate jobs in Alabama. Should the US government insert a "buy American" provision back into the stimulus bill, even though it's … Continue reading Condom Conundrum
I hear a bad joke this weekend. Put your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car. Drive around town for a couple of hours. Now, stop and open the trunk. Which one do you think is happy to see you? I'd credit that joke to the appropriate sourse; I think it was … Continue reading In the Trunk

I spoke to Fred about this last Saturday; he said there was no problem covering all 16 chapters, he would enjoy a thorough lesson. … Continue reading Act on Revealed Truth
Ok, "B" asked me to talk about something besides the political landscape. I'll try, but somehow just saying I'm not talking about it makes me want to talk about it. There are a lot of topics that are a possibility. There's the Study that sexually explicit lyrics lead to teen sex. I'm actually encouraged so … Continue reading Something Besides Obama
Reason number 76372 not to belong to the Democratic Party: They target a private citizen to silence him from using his constitutionally-protected first amendment right to free speech. It's ok to disagree with Rush Limbaugh. I happen to agree with much of what he says, and think he's a positive influence. And if you disagree, … Continue reading Another Reason Not to Be a Democrat
Dear Obama, this is what we think of your fiscal policies so far since you've taken office. Perhaps you should pay attention. What you're doing now, we don't like.
My opinion: Obama and his team are in waaaaay over their collective heads. They believe the world is basically good, and because Obama is in control of the White House, the world will warm to them and we will all live together in harmony. Except that's not the world. Putin will outmaneuver the clueless Obama. … Continue reading Cripple America
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeAnd the stock market burned. The Dow was down almost 300 more points today, probably on it's way to zero. And Obama dances the congo. I suspect they served appletinis. A week before that, the foot-stomping sounds of Sweet Honey in the Rock, a female a cappella group, filled the … Continue reading Nero Fiddled. Obama Does the Congo.

Associated Press headline, "Obama urges spending curbs, hands out $15 billion." After not quite a month in office, I've begun to change my opinion on the President. I thought at first he was a useful idiot, a tool of the powerful Democrat Spending Machine. I no longer think he's useful, and "idiot" may be too … Continue reading Obama Urges Spending Curbs for Somebody, But Not Him
Image via WikipediaI'm amazed at how fast we're moving to a system where the government controls everything. They're nationalizing banks, socializing medicine, rewriting property laws and taxing our grandchildren as we speak. Here I thought the loss of property rights from the Kelo decision were bad for America. All this coming from lefties who have … Continue reading The Next Civil Liberties Scare
And so the veil of deceit lifts. The news media, so eager to proclaim Obama as the messiah during the election cycle, now turns on him and begins to devour him. What changed? In one sense, nothing. Obama's promises of socialist changes are progressing. Universal health care, nationalization of manufacturers and banking, imposition of union … Continue reading Tea Party
First, some background about the way I select my clothes in the morning. I generally put the freshly laundered clothes on the left side of the closet, and select clothes to wear from the right side.

Over meaningful issues, I may add. āHowever, it has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census there … Continue reading One Politician With Conviction
Image via WikipediaCongress took the Stimulus package behind closed doors to prepare the final version. They've set it for a vote today.What happened to the promise of "transparency?" Why aren't we allowed to see what is in this revised package? Congress is expected to do a blind vote today.

From Obama's speech last night - Most economists almost unanimously recognize that, even if philosophically youāre ā youāre wary of government intervening in the economy, when you have the kind of problem we have right now ā what started on Wall Street, goes to Main Street, suddenly businesses canāt get credit, they start paring back … Continue reading Most Economists Agree – The Stimulus is a Bad Idea
Ok, so that's a scare title. But not by much.Buried deep in the so-called Stimulus Plan are new government-mandated health-care restrictions. Here are some snippets - The billās health rules will affect āevery individual in the United Statesā (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. One new bureaucracy, … Continue reading Stimulus Plan Kills Older People
Inauguration Day: "On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord." Today: "This recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits . Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we … Continue reading Hope and Fear
In this morning's Washington Post, Obama wrote that the Stimulus Package (which is horrendously misleading as there is far more liberal pet socialist programs than stimulus in the package) must be passed immediately or puppies will die. No time to read it, just sign it. But then he includes this phrase - "I reject these … Continue reading Rejecting the Arrogance
Congress is sapping any possibility of US productivity for generations to come. Only a fraction of this so-called "stimulus" bill actually stimulates the economy. The vast majority of it is increased government oversight and additional government programs. By taking such a whopping amount from the American people, the US government is stifling productivity of the … Continue reading "Stimulus" Bill Now Tops $900 Billion

The best way to give wings to the Christmas Spirit is to give gifts to people who need them. My wife and I exchanged few gifts this year, opting instead to give to charities instead. Instead of giving somebody a trinket they didn't need, we'd ask them what their favorite charity was. Then we'd give … Continue reading How to Gain the Christmas Spirit
The message of Christmas is simple: God loved us, so He sent His son to us. We're celebrating His birthday.

We can spend time with those … Continue reading How to Kill the Christmas Spirit

I could call this the "Day After Trying to Recover From What Might Have Been a Minor Flu Edition," but I won't.

Obama's first executive orders are about to gives us a hint what the next four years will be like. Presidents long have used executive orders to impose policy and set priorities.

Obama beat McCain handily, 349 to 163 electoral votes. What we should have learned, I don't know that we did. What we should have learned is that we have principles and ideals and we should stick to them. Ronald Reagan knew it, and we gave him victories. The 1994 Republican House knew that, and we … Continue reading What Did We Learn?
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeIf the major news media has succeeded today in discouraging conservatives from voting, the trifecta will be complete - Legislative, Executive, and Media.

From The New Yorker, Social liberals in the countryĆ¢ā¬ā¢s Ć¢ā¬Åblue statesĆ¢ā¬Ā tend to support sex education and are not particularly troubled by the idea that many teen-agers have sex before marriage, but would regard a teen-age daughterĆ¢ā¬ā¢s pregnancy as devastating news.

Image via WikipediaIt's National Bailout Day, seeing as how our illustrious US Congress has allocated $700 billion for Wall Street bankers.

How … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCXLIV
As we all know by now, Congress failed to pass the Bailout Bill on Monday for $700 billion (a number, apparently, the US Treasury just made up). If they pass it, they saddle taxpayers with the debt and socialize the banking system. If they don't pass it, they tell us civilization will end as we … Continue reading Bailouts and Earmarks
The comic strip XKCD is brilliant.
The "separation of church and state," such as it is, should keep the government from imposing a religion upon the people of this country. But regulations that squelch the speech of pastors?

It's as good a title as any. Some time ago, I wrote a book review on The Grand Weaver by Ravi Zacharias.

I read an article on USAToday this week, Am I Raising Atheist Children?
