Love is in the air, Valentine’s Day is almost here! But can’t Valentine’s Day be every day? Why wait for special holidays to show extravagant love to those we cherish and meet.
A few years ago at a friend’s dinner party, I met a nice man our friends had invited to the dinner. I thought to myself that our friends had met someone new at church they wanted to get to know better. As we gathered around the table to eat we played an ice breaker called “two truths and lie.” The idea of the game was for the others to guess the statement about ourselves that was a lie.
I was seated next to the nice man. When it was his turn to tell us two truths and a lie, I was taken a back with his distinctive responses. He informed us that he was a “business law” professor at Point Loma University in San Diego. He then told us that he was a diplomat and an honorary Consul for the Republic of Uganda. He shared a lie as well, but I don’t remember it. Turns out, this man really was the consul for the Republic of Uganda and a lawyer teaching at Point Loma. As we ate our dinner, he went on to share many other hard to believe life adventures. Who was this guy!
As the evening progressed, I learned that I was sitting next to Bob Goff, the author of the best selling books, Love Does, Everybody Always and His newest book, Love Does for Kids. After the beautiful evening with friends, I ordered Love Does. I couldn’t put it down. In Love Does, Bob shares his “wild at heart” excursions and the ways he loves others extravagantly. His book propelled me to want to live like this. As I look back on that evening, I had the opportunity to sit next to one of the neatest guys in the world. He truly knows how to love and live life to the fullest.
