A man that prayed for all of our souls, a man that lived for Christ, and is with him now.
As a young man I went to one of his Crusades for Christ, there were many thousand of lost souls saved that week. My Dad was one of those saved by him.
Thank you Reverend Graham, for all that you did for us poor sinners, you were a true man of God.

I do not love it
Nor do I fear it.
I just dread what it can do to my country.
Duty, HONOR, Country.

Amen, Rhodie, amen!
One of the things I'm looking forward to in Heaven is being able to meet some of these giants of the Faith.
Rest, Reverend Graham... you've earned it.

As a child, I was watching a Billy Graham Crusade on TV one night. That night began the first steps in my walk seeking salvation through our Lord and Savoir, Jesus Christ. The full knowledge of my salvation came years later.

My family went to a crusade when I was a young child. Though young, I knew where we were because we watched at home whenever his crusades aired. I remember thinking I would hear them sing 'Just As I Am,' one of the first songs I knew growing up.
In my mid-20's, a girl at work, loudly and anytime there was an opportunity to work it into a conversation, proudly proclaimed her hatred for Rev. Graham. Never said why, only that she did. I was shocked. Could not understand how anyone could hate this good man. As time went on, I learned she was of a different belief system and had recently spent some time in a mental hospital, so chocked it up to that.
I like the first headline I saw, from USA Today, no less:
Billy Graham, America's pastor, has died
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us. -- I John 4:18-19
Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense, but the one who has understanding holds their tongue. -- Proverbs 11:12.

''... I believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people...are a safeguard to the continuance of a free government...whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast Republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.''- Gen.

I was rather hoping he'd make one-hundred. Many years ago, I was a "counselor" at one of his crusades. A man in his 80's came forward and told me he didn't see how God could forgive him for the terrible things he had done to his enemies in WWII. I told him if God could forgive me He could forgive anybody. He bowed his head and prayed the sinner's prayer...
Billy is one of those I'll stand in line to talk to when we get there.

I too started on my journey while watching one of his crusades.
I think it is sad to note, that there hasn't been anything like that going on for 30 years or more now. Makes me wonder if that isn't a sign in itself.
