Johnny Cash, A testimony of temptation
From Driscoll's church.
Why did Peter put his coat on before jumping in the water? John 21:7
I have the great pleasure of facilitating every week a Bible discussion group with several high school students. We've been discussing the Gospel of John this past year, and we finally finished tonight. We enjoyed the humorous scene John writes about in this last chapter. The great apostle John can't help himself when it comes to embarrassing his fellow inner circle apostle; the denial of Christ, his slowness in getting to the empty tomb, and this event in the last chapter. John 21:7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. What's the joke? Well John is the first to realize that Jesus is on the beach, #humblebrag, but then Peter puts ON his coat before jumping out of the boat? I've seen some academic ink spilled trying to explain this weird behavior on the part of this fisherman ( good one

I was deeply saddened when June and John died. A connection to the past was snapped. A connection to the birth of Rock and country gone.
But he was so sick and miserable without June it was a blessing he died. I'm glad he went out on top. The music he did with Rubin was powerful and overwhelming.
I never bought his music until after his death. "Unearthed" CD collection, "Folsom Prison", "Ultimate Gospel", and "The Legend" CD collection, are now about the only music I listen to now.
Again, thanks for posting this.
In Christ, Dan
It's wonderful having a regular, friendly commenter who is a total stranger. It was the recent movie that really turned me on to JC. We have a few CD's now and the kids know several of his songs.
God is good
