Walk the Line

We saw Walk the Line yesterday. I loved it, she hated it. They only showed Johnny Cash's early life of drugs and sin and booze. They left out the latter part of him becoming born again and how his later life reflected that. My girlfriend bought me the CD My Mother's Hymn Book
by Johnny Cash. I listened to it a lot and started playing my guitar again. I am a little disappointed with today's Christian music scene. I just feel that some of the secular artists have better music. I felt that Johnny Cash has guts--how many artists of any genre would dare make a recording with just voice and guitar. It leaves no room for error. You can't hide behind anything. The album is not the greatest, but his love for God shows through. The pain and hurt that have been healed emerge. This is real, someone who has suffered and has come to know Christ, as a result.
