Josh’s best friend Beth is enthralled with a hot new website. www.gospelaccordingtolarry.com gets hundreds of hits a day. She’s hooked on its rants against our ad-driven, materialistic society. But Josh is too distracted by Beth’s awesome mouth to listen to what it’s saying. Besides, he knows much more about Larry and his sermons than Beth will ever guess.
Next week we're discussing THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LARRY at Knotty Oak School Media Center on Wednesday April 25 at 2:20. Come join us for the Larry Fest!
