OUR BELOVED FRIEND 'THE FATHER OF CHRISTIAN ROCK' LARRY NORMAN PASSED ON SUNDAY MORNING ~Poet Billy Lamont said, "It is with the deepest sadness that I share the news of the passing of one of my most dear and truest friends Larry Norman. I am sitting here really shattered but know brother Larry is rejoicing with Jesus in Heaven right now, having a party and receiving a crown. The private and public Larry Norman has been and will continue to be a great inspiration to me. You can read Larry's last note below and also other information on his passing on. Nothing more to say now except I send love and prayers to his family and that I will miss him terribly."~
CLICK HERE TO ENTER LARRY NORMAN.COM You can leave a message for Larry's family at the Larry Norman Message Board _____________________________________ Larry Norman Our friend and my wonderful brother Larry passed away at 2:45 Sunday morning. My wife Kristin and I were with him, holding his hands and sitting in bed with him when his heart finally slowed to a stop. We spent this past week laughing, singing, and praying with him, and all the while he had us taking notes on new song ideas and instructions on how to continue his ministry and art. Several of his friends got to come and visit with him in the last couple of weeks and were a great source of help and friendship to Larry. Ray Sievers, Derek Robertson, Mike Makinster, Jerry Albertini, Charles Thompson, Tim and Christine Gilman, Matt and Becki Simmons, Kerry Hopkins, and a few more. Thank you, guys. Larry appreciated your visits very much. And he greatly appreciated the thoughts, wishes, support and prayers that came from all of you Solid Rock friends on a daily basis. Thank you for being part of his small circle of friends over the years. Saturday afternoon he knew he was going to go home to God very soon and he dictated the following message to you while his friend Allen Fleming typed these words into Larry's computer: ________________________________ I feel like a prize in a box of cracker jacks with God's hand reaching down to pick me up. I have been under medical care for months. My wounds are getting bigger. I have trouble breathing. I am ready to fly home. My brother Charles is right, I won't be here much longer. I can't do anything about it. My heart is too weak. I want to say goodbye to everyone. In the past you have generously supported me with prayer and finance and we will probably still need financial help. My plan is to be buried in a simple pine box with some flowers inside. But still it will be costly because of funeral arrangement, transportation to the gravesite, entombment, coordination, legal papers etc. However money is not really what I need, I want to say I love you. I'd like to push back the darkness with my bravest effort. There will be a funeral posted here on the website, in case some of you want to attend. We are not sure of the date when I will die. Goodbye, farewell, we will meet again. Goodbye, farewell, we'll meet again Larry Thank you to all of you who were so nice to my brother over the years. There will be a public memorial ceremony for Larry at 10:00 AM on Saturday, March 1st at The Church on the Hill, 2707 Maranatha Ct., Turner, Oregon, just south of Salem. Here is a mapquest link. You can leave a message for Larry's family at the Larry Norman Message Board Here are some links to more info and observations on Larry: For more information contact: Charles Norman We miss him beyond words. Thank you for everything. Peace to you all in Christ, |

News Brief: Friday, October 5, 2007 ******************************************************************************************************* "Mike Peters and The Alarm are claiming the physical high ground that they have always held in the SPIRIT. [Please support them and see below] May the grace of God be with them on this journey that begun with the disease of cancer, taking them to the Highest Ground in the world that will become Holy Ground as they set foot upon it. My prayers are with them In Jesus' name- Prayer will be blowing in the wind like a flag of praise to Yahweh as they make history with the highest concert and blog entries ever accomplished. This is a victory of redemption not just for cancer victims and survivors but for the everyday man and women that can turn the page on their sufferings with new life and put on new clothes of salvation, love and light with dignity, " Poet Billy Lamont said.

POET BILLY LAMONT'S PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF LOVE HOPE STRENGTH FOUNDATION
"EMPIRE STATE ROCKS" EVENT
Billy
Lamont said, "Mike Peters of The Alarm is one of the greatest,
most important songwriters/performers in the history of rock and
roll. Mike is an even greater person and real friend.
He is a beloved, true brother. Attending the 'Empire State
Rocks' event at the Empire State building and after party at Terra
Blues has moved and inspired me deeply like Mike's music and
friendship has for many years.
Glory
was in the air that day! Like God himself was smiling through the
storm clouds of the most intense rain storm and most severe NorEaster
that has ever hit the New York area. It felt like demonic
principality's were being cast away and there thresholds were being
broken in the New York area like never before. With the first
notes of Mike Peters singing The Alarm hit song "Strength" on top of
New York's tallest building, the Empire State Building, it was
apparent and sensed by me that a new day was dawning and has arrived
filled with hope and healing. It was only moments later that the
mist and heavy clouds surrounding the observation deck would clear and
you could see the amazing view from up there.
This Poet felt healing pulsating through his own boby and own being and spirit as I attended the event with the intention of lending a hand to help serve Mike, his family and his new foundation but I received much more than I gave. As I was on the top of the Empire State Building looking out over New York City through clearing storm clouds I pondered my own misfortunes in the past months/years that have touched every area of my life. Severe personal problems touching everthing I love and care/cared about- current health problems and ones that should have killed me in 2004, financial destruction and every other kind of attack to me, my family, and my few possesions and humble living space. &
