Man in Black

I'm not sure I've ever met someone who doesn't like Johnny Cash. Not liking Johnny Cash would be like, not liking The Beatles...or not liking laughing. It just doesn't make sense. Anyway, I love Johnny Cash and I love this article my brother shared with me today. I don't think it can't be any more obvious that Johnny Cash was a man who knew Jesus.

As of right now...these two parts of the article stood out the most to me:

As songwriting friend Kris Kristofferson recently said, "He's as comfortable with the poor and prisoners as he is with presidents. He's crossed over all age boundaries. I like to think of him as Abraham Lincoln with a wild side."

"Being a Christian isn't for sissies," Cash said once. "It takes a real man to live for God-a lot more man than to live for the devil, you know? If you really want to live right these days, you gotta be tough." What's more, he's intimately aware of the hard truths about living God's way: "If you're going to be a Christian, you're going to change. You're going to lose some old friends, not because you want to, but because you need to."

Read about it here...if you are interested: Johnny Cash's Complicated Faith.
