I knew Eastman in High School in Lake Wales.   He doesn't over-dramatize when he tells others about his wild and crazy days - he was the party man.  A spoiled rich kid (we all thought) who had all the connections, and knew where the parties were.  Most of us were sure he'd end up in prison.  I turned on late night TV one night and saw his teen program.  I was amazed, and touched by his words.  Let me tell you that the 'good' he did for others when he turned his life around will long outweigh any controversy.   My opinions here will no doubt be discarded, as I turned away from the organized Christian community when I realized that I could not muster up the intolerance, judgement, arrogance and hatred that is required to be a 'good Christian' by today's standards. 

Eastman has inspired many kids to turn their lives around, and whatever else he is accused of or judged for by mortals, it is God who has the final say.  That's the only standard Eastman and Dawn need measure themselves to.
