The Beverly Hills City Hall
Good Morning, God.
When Beverly Hills puts up a “SHOP in Beverly Hills” banner, you know the economy is BAD.
And as Suz and I drove around L.A. there were a lot of empty shop windows — stores I had been in and bought things in — going or gone.
We need help, God, LOTS of HELP. I wish I knew what kinds of help. But I’d like one kind to be for all people to have a chance for fulfilling work. Yes, I noticed I said FULFILLING work. Most of the world would take ANY work.
Looking back at the Getty Center entrance at night
So, enter stage right — the Getty and the ARTS. I saw on its website an invitation to view L.A. at sunset from the Getty Center — free parking (normally $15) and open until 9:00 p.m.
Here, God, is a temple on a hill — a temple to Art — a modern Cathedral –built to honor J. Paul Getty — a money making whizz — and not, perhaps, the most admirable of men. And, God, it was a lovely place to be. Do You mind? Somehow I don’t thing You do.
And it brings me back to fulfilling work — work for artists and writers and actors and architects — librarians, even. ALL of us people need MEANING in our lives. Fulfilling work — work that we enjoy — that brings out our gifts — that connects us — is a major source of meaning for us.
Can we, God, mobilize wealth — mobilize ourselves — to work toward a meaningful life for ALL people? There are SO MANY of us. But NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU! And You Love each and every diverse different one of us.
Story teller,
A Moment with God
