Rick, I think Charles has done plenty of "weeping and gnashing of teeth" in his adult life- after all, he's a Cleveland Browns fan. :)
I've never met Charles in person, but I've known him online for years and I've listened to him. I know people who know him, and I know a little bit about his background.
So here's an earthly truth - the highest honor one man can pay to another man here on earth - an honor higher than being "saved", an honor higher than being able to stand in front of God and saying that you warned X number of people - Charles is a good man and a respected man. (And quite likely so are many for whom you're praying).
