I live so removed from the parts of the industry you describe, and I confess I forget that they are real people who live and love God like the rest of us! We do have lots of friends here whose lives intersect with that community, and I do enjoy hearing their stories! Makeesha,

It is amazing to consider how that entire area is absolutely ravaged by fire, just days after we were all there. I can totally see how the people I saw there might be members of a recovery group. That's great that the space is being used to bless them in that journey! Thanks John–it was great to see you as well!

Watching soap stars and movie actors and actresses lift their hands in worship and lay hands on one another during prayer times was absolutely surreal...and beautiful...but mostly surreal hehe. I miss that world sometimes actually - I'm not sure why but I guess I sort of developed an affinity for the people in that culture. when we lived in Hollywood, we would occasionally go to the Hollywood Bible Study in Beverly Hills (since my husband was in “the industry”) - led by Tim Storey and attending by a veritable who’s who of the industry.

There's a group that meets around noonish nearly every day there. Ironic. It was great to see the whole Haub family! The majority of the folks you saw were there as part of a recovery group.

Glad for a monastic presence in Malibu. Spiritual searchers used to contemplate skulls and scriptures. No reason why seekers now shouldn't do the same with sailboats and sixteen thousand square foot mansions. Lots of ways to see the vanity of it. Even through Vera Wang sunglasses :^) Did some regional leadership retreats there in my So Cal IV days.
