Real Love in an Angry World

“I remember back when flip-flops became popular. Rick wore them all the time, but with white crew socks! As he proudly left the house every day, I would shout, ‘Don’t wear socks with flip-flops. You look like a geek!’ But he ignored me and kept on. Before I knew it, he had all his friends wearing their flip-flops with white crew socks! That was the day I said to myself, ‘This guy is a leader. Even when he looks like a geek, others follow him.’ This was one of many examples from Rick’s growing-up years that was evidence that he was destined to lead.”
