Interesting Story...

Thought I'd share this with you. Christian Singer John Michael Talbot was once part of a folk-rock group that performed with the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Janis Joplin. During his band's 1971 tour, he was alone in a Holiday Inn when a brilliant light filled his room. In the midst of the light stood Jesus in radiant robes, "his arms outstretched in a combination of gentleness and strength," as Talbot described the awe-inspiring moment. That moment, understandably, changed the course of his life. Now a lay Franciscan monk, Talbot uses his music in a reflective way to sing of the loveliness of the Jesus he once saw at that Holiday Inn. This is the story as it was told to the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph.

I've enjoyed his music...great to hear how he met Jesus...pretty cool story.

Just thought you'd like to know,
