After the first shoot several months ago, Mikaela and I got together mid-August for another photoshoot.

A lesson on Grace

Posted by Dominic Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:11:00 GMT

God taught me a lesson on grace yesterday.

A friend of mine accidentally exhibited some behavior that I have a bit of baggage about in my past. And my first instinct was to think the worst of her, and in my initial communique I was significantly more accusatory than I needed to be.

In talking back and forth, turns out it was an accident - we were a victim of some non-obvious user interface behavior behavior on a certain social networking site.

That’s when It hit me - the fact that right off the bat, I had assumed the worst of her… how twisted of me is that?

About the same time, I had a response from said friend, in which she challenged me to be more courteous the next time, et cetera. It was quite a bit of a wake-up.

I ended up thanking her for having confronted me and apologizing profusely for thinking that she had done it out of malice.

It reminded me of a quote I’ve read online many times:

Do not attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance.

Sometimes those are useful words to remember.
