My friend Tom, when asked “How are you?” will always answer “Better than I deserve!”. It’s because he understands the grace and mercy God has extended to him, and to all of us.
Tuesday morning I had some water damage in my studio. It took out 4 rooms worth of floor, caused a huge mess, and basically canceled my plans for the day, which were incidentally, to photograph 3 week old baby Khloe, and then go play in a golf tournament that my buddy Al had invited me to. I needed a break. The tourney was sponsored, and at no cost to me. We all know free golf is the best golf. Well, that was out. I called and rescheduled Khloe’s portraits, and called Al to tell him I’d not be able to make the tourney.
I had insurance to handle, studio appointments to reschedule, the piping to get repaired, and ServiceMaster coming to clean and remove damage. Frankly, it was about all I could handle. Then, my wife Allyson called. She said she was coming home, and would work from home that day. She said I was to go play golf, and let her handle the repair people, cleaning people, etc. i was floored. She knew I needed some relief, and extended her grace and mercy to me. She is the best wife I think I could ever have asked for, and she is absolutely, positively,…
“Better than I deserve!”
I love you Allyson!
