Thankful for my best friend and the love of my life……
Sherelene and I are in St. Thomas for the week, there is no place I would rather be and no one I would rather be with. Sherelene is not only my wife of 42 years, she is my best friend, and the woman I always dreamed of meeting and falling madly in love with, and I did…….. It will be and endless mystery to me for the rest of my life, how I could have ever captured her heart! Sherelene has not only been a faithful wife, she has been a wonderful mother to our three children and an adored “Nanna” to our six grandchildren. She is the only person I trust to tell me the truth about my photography, my walk with the Lord, and my integrity, she knows me better than anyone and she always shoots straight with me! I devote one week of vacation time every year to place her in an environment that I know will renew her physically, emotionally, and spiritually. That usually only requires warm weather an an ocean! Together we’ve explored most of the Caribbean, Hawaii and still enjoy finding new places to let her rest and recuperate!
It has been the greatest honor of my life to be called her husband, and honor I still can’t imagine how I won! Take a moment today to be truly thankful for the man or woman that God has placed in your life. As Paul instructed, Love her like our Lord loved the church, He gave His very life for her. That’s the perfect model of love……..

This week I will share something each post for which I am very, very thankful.
*Photo Notes: the top image was snapped with an iPhone 4s on our flight down, it’s shocking how little an iPhone does for picutres of me! the images below was with the really neat Coolpix AW100 which really encourages you to shoot different with it’s being waterproof to a depth of 30 feet!

Thanks, we will!
Bill and Sherelene,
Enjoy this well deserved break and a chance for some together time, it doesn’t seem like you get too much of it.
Sherelene – thanks for sharing Bill with the rest of us! 🙂

Sherelene said, “it’s good to get rid of him for a little while!” No, actually, I imagined she would say that!!!
Bill,
Suffering for Jesus!
Actually glad you and Sherelene had a chance to get away from the rat race. Life’s too short not to take advantage of those opportunities to be blessed and to be a blessing.
God bless,
Miles
You’re right, I didn’t realize how badly I needed the rest, have slept a lot. From January 2nd it has been non stop, which when I was younger would not have been a big deal, but now, a little rest in there is great! Looking forward to seeing you in a little over a week!
