LIFE'S A BEACH, AND SO'S THE LIVING ROOM

I was reading an interview with Steve Brown, the dean of radio in Omaha, and he told about his friendship with the Beach Boys dating from the early days of his career in southern California.

After they got pretty famous and had leased the home of Edgar Rice Burroughs – the “Tarzan” guy – Brown was invited over for a visit.

Beach Boy Mike Love met Brown at the door and “shhh’ed” him, but not before he had spotted the formal living room. All of the furniture was gone and the carpet was covered with six inches of sand. The only other thing in the room was a little pup tent over in the corner.

Inside, sleeping, was brilliant songwriter Brian Wilson. It seems he had had five dump trucks worth of beach sand brought there so that he could “get the beach feeling back.”

Gee. I’m weird and quirky, and I have a lot of dirt in my house. Wonder why I’m not a famous millionaire by now?

Prayer request: Lord, we pray for a hedge of protection around the entire Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area, especially for the pharmacies. Why? There is a report that a major arrest has been made in drug trafficking – which is of course good news – but that may portend a rash of robberies and potential violence in area pharmacies as the drug trade adjusts to the loss of a major source of supply. Don’t let it happen, Lord. We pray against addiction in all forms, and for peace of mind and Your blessing on pharmacists, now and always. (Psalm 37:28)
