My take on “The Good News”
My friend, JR Woodward, who is the pastor of Kairos Los Angeles and lives just down the road from me in Hollywood, has an incredible blog called Dream Awakener, which if you haven’t seen, you really need to check out. During the season of Easter he’s asked 50 different writer to contribute a 300-500 word piece about the “good news” written for their local newspaper.
Here’s how I start my piece off. You can see the list of all the contributors here (some pretty prestigious people) with links to their pieces.
people on a relatively quiet sidewalk in Hollywood. They do this every
weekday. They naturally have help from friends in the neighborhood. The
only way you can distinguish the volunteers from those being “helped”
is by the rubber gloves worn by the volunteers. I, too, look like I’ve
just rolled out of bed. Some of those in line look more prepared for a
job interview than I do. That’s probably where a couple of them are
headed next after they finished their turkey sandwich, fresh
strawberries and yogurt.
To me, John and Aileen embody the good news.
