O God of life and laughter,
We turn to entertainers to make us laugh and to cry, and to give us a reprieve from everyday pressures. But the greatest entertainers do something more. They make us think, and see, and experience the world in new and different ways.
Robin Williams once said “No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.”
This week California lost a beloved native son, and a man who was more than just an entertainer, he was a court jester and a philosopher, and his words and ideas helped change our world for the better.
May it be your will O God that we be ever aware of the power we hold with our words and ideas, and may we not be afraid to use them to make this world a better placem,--AMEN.
