What a day

Ok, I couldn’t sleep last night and I don’t know if it was because the room was so hot or because I was so excited about having the chance to play Pebble Beach.  I think the latter had a lot to do with it.  I definitely was anxious.  And, if you read my blog from last night, I was a little skeptical about even being able to play because of the rain.  When I woke up this morning, it was to the sound of rain.  UGHH  May chances of playing seemed to be diminishing.  But I looked on weather.com and it said that after 10:30 the rain was supposed to stop; my tee-time was 11:00.  So I decided to give it a try.  I got ready and left my hotel room, in the rain.  I stopped at Denny’s to grab a bite to eat, love that french toast, and then headed to the golf course, in the rain.  When I arrived at Pebble Beach, you guessed it, it was raining.  I went to the pro-shop to check-in and it was raining.  He gave me everything I needed and I walked outside to get in my cart and it was raining.  I arrived at the first tee and the starter asked me if I would play the round with three older gentlemen who’s wives would be riding along with them and I said I would.  So as I prepared to tee off of hole #1 at Pebble Beach Golf Links, the rain stopped.  And you know what, it didn’t rain another drop the whole time I was there.  The day was mostly cloudy but it was gorgeous.  The views were spectacular and I couldn’t help but praise God for His creation.  And not only that, He was allowing me to experience it.  Thank you.  The only thing that could have made it better is if my wife would have been there with me.  I get to see a lot of things being on the road, and I am very thankful for that, but I just don’t get as much joy out of them because she is not with me.  I want to share all of these things with her.
