Johnny Cash
February 28, 1932 - September 12, 2003

 


 
 Wrecked every car he owned over a 7 year period
 Destroyed two jeeps
 Demolished a camper
 Sank two boats
 Jumped from a speeding car just before it careened over a 600 foot cliff
 Drank way too much whisky and beer
 Swallowed amphetamines by the handful
 Divorced his wife leaving four children
 Drug crazed he drove a tractor in an ice cold lake
 Knocked down doors and smashed in walls
 Sawed the legs off furniture in motel rooms
 Triggered fire alarms in the middle of the night
 Broke his jaw and nose in a reckless car accident
 
 He did all this before his 36th birthday. Like John Newton the author of the
 hymn Amazing Grace, Johnny Cash had survived like a cat with nine x nine lives.
 
At age twelve Johnny Cash had given his life to Christ and
 through the bad and ugly years God did not give up on Johnny.
 
 Little did Johnny know at that time that nearly half his life had passed him by.
 
But a recommitment to Christ, new marriage to June Carter, and vigor to help others
 changed everything for Johnny.
 
 The second half of his life would be different.
 
 Bible believing church member
 Faithful husband
 Born again Christian
 Sowed seeds of favor into everyone around him
 Movie Star
 Called an "Institution of Country Music"
 Won 10 Grammys
 
 A month before he died Johnny was quoted as saying, "Oh, I expect my life to end pretty soon," he says. "You know, I'm 71 years old. I have great faith,
 though. I have unshakeable faith."
 
Any regrets Johnny? "I used to," he says,
 "But I forgave myself. When God forgave me, I figured I'd better do it, too."
 
 All his practice done, Johnny Cash is now singing praises to the "Lord of Lord"
 and King of Kings.
Can't you just hear him now,
"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."
 
 Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
 That saved a wretch like me!
 I once was lost, but now am found;
 Was blind, but now I see.
 
 Prayer: Father, thank you for Your Amazing Grace that saved Johnny Cash and saved me. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
 
May God bless all of you, as he did Johnny.
