I also read how he had had an impact on Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan , and thought how phenomenal it would be to impact Justin Timberlake and say ... 50 cent or Lebron James! I do not know their personal spiritual beliefs, but to have an impact or be encouraging to another person is a phenomenal gift. Larry had a gift like that, I believe. I really wasn't going to write anything .... but really enjoyed the article. I wish you the greatest journey in your search. And never let anyone judge you (lest they be judged), my friend. It is certainly hard to stick to such values in this world the way it is, but with God in our heart's we can hopefully "spread a little love". God bless, man.

That's what it's all about...that's how you feel you need to come to church to be in front of Christ. The way I feel, it's about bringing the real me to him with all my flaws and failures...basically, my ragamuffin self...and accepting the gift of His grace and mercy because he knows that the guy in jeans and T-shirts is His son. Everyone's different and that's what makes God's family so great. :) That’s cool, James. That’s what it’s all about…that’s how you feel you need to come to church to be in front of Christ.

I know that sometimes people in my Church are less than welcomeing to those who don't dress nice. We believe and teach that we dress in our best to show respect for the Lord and his house, but we should never condemn another for what they are wearing. Attire really is not that important (as long as it covers the essentials!) It is merely out of respect that I wear my suit and tie to Church on Sunday. If someone chooses to wear something else, they are always welcome to. Sounds like an interesting guy.

He definitely made you think. He had a profound influence on both Christian and non-Christian artists...I'll cite Bob Dylan's album "Saved" as an example.
