The Impact of the Ragamuffin

Rach and I recently watched the movie Ragamuffin which is the story of the very successful singer-songwriter Rich Mullins. I grew up with & greatly respected his music, but what struck me the most about this movie was not his musical story, although that was extremely interesting as well, it was his finding a kindred spirit. He was a man who could be an absolute jerk. He drank a lot, but loved God and loved people. He was a man of many failures, but still stood up on stage and proclaim his Awesome God for the world to hear. His was a musical and personal story of grace and that was something that resonated with me. I also fail many times, in many ways, but the grace of God is still sufficient, His mercies are never failing and He still leads me step by step.
