SCLQ – Parades

Two weeks ago, I mentioned Bob Goff as someone who inspires me. And part of the reason I dig Bob so much is his undying love for parades. (If you read Donald Miller's book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, then you know about the Goff family's parade tradition.)

The short story is they started a parade in their neighborhood. And the only rule is that no one is allowed to watch, but anybody can participate.

That sounds silly, but years later hundreds of people have joined this New Year's Day tradition and discovered the joy of being in a parade with lots of lots of people you love.

This year, the Grand Marshal was a boy named Rodrick from Uganda who has an amazing story.

Bob's son Richard made a short video about the experience. I thought it was beautiful and perfectly shareable for a Saturday such as this one.
