thanks for sharing this, Tim.

I read this interesting article over at Think Christian about John Lennon and Christianity.  I left a comment in their discussion too.  I have felt for a long time that one of the biggest mistakes the church made during the 20th Century was rejecting Rock ‘n Roll.  And I think the worship wars are a [...]
