I really don't think much of anyplace as "home" b/c we moved around so much, but if there was a home it would have been Sheffield, Alabama. It was always a happy place for me as my grandparents lived there and I spent the first few years of my life there and returned for 10th grade through college and first 7 years of marriage. Though I've not moved much as a preacher (three churches in 30 years), it does tend to prevent me from thinking of those places as "home" and was a huge obstacle I had to intentionally overcome to make close friendships. As for the wind, I've always loved the sound of the wind. But what fascinates me even more is wind combined with lightning and rain! I love a good thunderstorm ... of which we see very, very few in Southern California. Dee: Your blog took me down memory lane a bit.

A person can be handicapped for a lifetime by something that happened in their past or a church prevented from progressing towards Biblical truth because people associate "remembered lessons" with respected people who taught them. Don't get me wrong, I'm a "remembering kind of guy" but only as long as my remembering doesn't prevent me from personal growth.

You write well, but this one really hit. As Dorothy Gale so aptly put it: "There's no place like home". The post about your dad and the windvane was also a good thoughtful read. Thanks for writing, and thanks for sharing it. YHVH bless, 'Andy' Hi Dee,

But then I've always loved the wind. I grew up on the Kansas prairie with windsong a part of my life. I loved the sound of it whispering through the cottonwoods or howling around the corner of the house. And I loved the windvanes on top of the barns. I really like the way you tied the wind into the directions of our lives. God Bless, Dianna CHCH Dee,

Where the Wind represents the mystery of the Most Powerful as it blows against us, a most irresistible arm of the Almighty. Seemingly complete randomness to the unaware or shameless, but purposeful to those the Wind knows. The Vane a moral rudder causing the rust-less to turn and face the Truth. Is the Vane a gift and blessing? Or, has He become an antagonist? Draw back the curtain! There is the pageantry of Hope being staged for those that have a ticket.

Draw back the curtain! There is the pageantry of Hope being staged for those that have a ticket.
