"Who and what are the ragamuffins? The unsung assembly of saved sinners who are little in their own sight, conscious of their brokenness and powerlessness before God, and who cast themselves on his Mercy. Startled by the extravagant love of God, they do not require success, fame, wealth, or power to validate their worth. Their spirit transcends all

Beautiful words.

Have you listened to Rich Mullins and a Ragamuffin Band? All the talk about ragamuffins reminded me of them. I loved Rich's music.

I love Rich Mullins. I had to talk to God about taking him off of the earth back when he did. I wasnt all to happy about it. But then I remembered he is God and Im not. funny thing.....

I know. I felt his death keenly. The accident happened in Kansas, so it felt even more tragic. I loved Mullins and Keith Green--both solid men taken too soon.

yes amen both times i was mad at God (isnt that a laugh) for a while. Actually I was just totally blown away that he would take them like that. But then I figured HE knows what hes doing better than I do so.....

I love that song and that cd in particular. and i love the cd that his friends did in tribute. hmmmmmmm sigh......

“The way we see other people is often the way we see ourselves. If we have made peace with our flawed humanity and embraced our ragamuffin identity, we are able to tolerate in others what was previously unacceptable in ourselves.”

Wow, that's so great! Thanks for sharing!
