My good friend Marty Omoto reminded me of a song by George Michael called “Praying for Time.”
The words are so moving and so relevant as we watch the destruction of the California dream. Check it out.

Here’s a portion of the lyrics:
These are the days of the empty hand
You hold on to what you can
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find out
That what was over there is over here
So you scream from behind your door
Say what’s mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I’ll take my chances
Because God’s stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That He can’t come back
Because he has no children to come back for
