Larry Norman's gone home ...

God has a way of keeping me humble as a journalist: He usually lets my wife find out about the big stories before I do. Now it seems he's taken to using others: Richard Richter, a real mentor to me, called me today and some time into our conversation he said, "Man, I saw on the news ticker that Larry Norman died and I thought of you."

"What? Larry Norman died?"

I hadn't been on the wire today, so I missed the news.

Sure enough, Larry has gone home. you can read the news on LarryNorman.com. 

My kids tease me about how most of my favorite artists have left this world. I now have to add Larry the Lamb to that list.

I'll post more thoughts later.

Grace ... and peace to his brother, Charles, and the rest of the family.
