I attended the celebration of life service for Tom Larrison on Saturday. Tom and his wife Ann go to our church, and they have participated in our small group from church. Tom was way too young to die, but he had been struggling with multiple chronic issues for some time. At the service, four of Tom's high school buddies from Florida spoke. It was fun to hear their stories from 40 years ago, but it was amazing to see how those relationships had been nurtured over four decades. Two of Tom's recent business partners also spoke. Their perspective was shorter and more current, but the common theme from all of the speakers was that Tom always wanted to know how they were doing. Tom never wanted to talk about himself. I was convicted that I want to be more like Tom, my brother in Christ. How are you doing today?
