In 1991, when our oldest was just a baby, we were attending a Bible church in Paradise Valley, AZ. Who was sitting next to us caught us off-guard and by surprise. It was none other than Alice Cooper!

And in another direction was Jerry Colangelo and family, owner of the D'Backs.

It really shocked us to see Alice Cooper in church at the time.

Wisdom only comes with experience... live longer and become more wise.

That hasn't seemed to work with Cher or Streisand.

Good golfer too.

Yeah, but when he leaves a putt short, his partners say "Hit the ball, Alice!"

That's because The Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.

Often the most pathetic and perverse are more open to God and He seems to have a fondness for rescuing, raising them up to wholeness. . . prostitutes and drunks got on with Him much better than the religious leaders. . . . and few, if any, of us get whole in one big jump--legally in His Blood, yes. . . . but working it into the fabric of our earthly being seems to be a lifelong process.

I have lots of grace for those who fall--I have to given the fellow in my mirror. . . it does seem to be essential that folk admit their failings . . . which some do, some don't. . . . those who don't seem doomed to wallow in them.

What is it about guys my age and epiphanies? For that matter, what is it about guys my age and golf?

LOL!!! I can only say that this must be the reason why Jews only allow men 40 years old and older to begin study of the more 'mystical' components of their faith...because it takes about 30 years for all the silliness and immaturity to be leached away...so that by the time the man is middle aged, he begins to see the error of his youth and the wisdom of those who previously were 'rigid' and 'uncompromising' in their tradition.

To me it is a mark of maturity to recognize how silly you used to be and how much you can veer away from that by simply acknowledging the errors of the past.

It always does my heart good to hear/see a person who was formerly so 'unsalvageable' transform into something of a higher level.

He also knows what's in the heart. Some prostitutes and drunks are closer to being saved than some church-goers. The best "moral" people are not morally pure - they just avoid certain behaviors, most of which they're not strongly attracted to anyway. I'm glad about this - when I heard the guy sing "I got no friends 'cause they read the papers", it was kinda poignant to me. Praise God for His goodness!

My guitarist cousin used to play with Alice, and he told me that "Cooper" was the son a pastor.

AM JUST GLAD he had the horse sense to renew his faith and commitment to a relationship with God. . . . and that evidently some prayed for him regardless of his antics and looks. . . . almost makes one wonder if Ted Turner could be converted. . . . after all, the Apostle Paul was.
