Before returning from California, Melanie and I had the better part of the day free in Los Angeles yesterday. Being the movie buffs we are, we had to visit Hollywood. We watched the movie "Next" at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the most famous movie theatre in the world. It is a beautiful, eighty year old theatre and rich in history. (It's first movie in 1927 was "King of Kings") You can spend a long time just looking at the almost 200 sets of footprints and handprints of Hollywood's greatest actors from the past and present.
Before going to the theatre, we ate breakfast at The Beverly Hills Hotel, where we saw Randy Jackson, of American Idol. Then, in the afternoon we watched a taping of "America's Got Talent." Some of the talent was very good and some of the acts were totally ridiculous, but overall, it was a fun experience. Jerry Springer is the host and two of the judges were David Hasselhoff and Sharon Osbourne.
Melanie spoke briefly with Sharon Osbourne after the taping and told her that we had prayed for her during her fight against cancer. (See my devotional called "Ozzy Osbourne And Peace" on my web site at gracewalk.org) Sharon took Melanie's hand and said, "Thank you so much. It worked!" On a much less spiritual note, I won't comment on Melanie's thoughts or comments about David Hasselhoff!
After more than a week of constant and busy ministry, it was fun to ramble around Hollywood for a day. Melanie is like a big kid in settings like that and, to her credit, brings out the childlikeness in me too. It was a fun day with the love of my life, (assuming that David Hasselhoff stays out of the picture.)
