Beautiful car and a beautiful man.
He is 75 years old but acts 40. Well, more responsible than 40,
but acts young. He drove me around on some back roads behind WTC and would rev that beautiful car up and drive fast but never illegal. He said he didn't want to hurt it.
On the way back to my car he was telling me stories. He said he saw this car and just like Xan (his wife) he HAD to have her.
But he
hesitated for just a moment and said "I don't deserve this car".
"Why
not? Why would you say that?"
Silence... "I don't know... Ever had anything you
just never really felt you deserved?"
"I don't feel I deserve much of what I have".
For that
moment Billy Wayne Harris and I stood on even ground. Though separated by 30
years and numerous life experiences we were absolute equals.
I figure we all have things we don't deserve. It's a
pleasure God grants us because we are his kids. Not so that we can over indulge
or become arrogant or prove something to a world that doesn't care... but just so God can look down and say "he sure does enjoy that".
