What about the excuses he made for Bill Clinton?
SOUNDS MORE LIKE FRANKLIN!
p.s. LAUNCHING PAD ALLREADY PICKED OUT!
As much as the Grahams love the Mountains I'd think they have a place around Montreat already picked out.
She's known them practically her whole life. She wrote a biography of Ruth Graham back in the '80s.
Well it will be interesting exercise to observed just how many in this flock are allllllll about Hillry becoming next president.

What a travesty to build such a Disney-like complex and then hope to bury someone, anyone there, let alone this humble, religious, southern couple.
Decades ago I went to see Billy Graham out of curiousity when he came to Chicago at some amphitheater or other. Enormous crowd. I'll never forget the evening.
He was at the height of his powers and charisma at the time. It was quite an experience as anyone who saw him at that time can testify. He could blow just about anyone away with his preaching. The total impact of the music, the singing, the coming forward, his great voice, the emotion.....the impact was unreal.
He had the gift, that's for sure. I'm glad I went to see him. He touched people of any religion, even those who had none.

Wow - didn't know that.. interesting..
Still think the article misrepresented something..
Still addicted to the MSM.
If Franklin Graham said this, "I believe that the decision about where my parents will be buried should be made by them, and not by me, my siblings, or any outsiders, then why is he building and pushing the barn memorial? Seems to me his words are not backed up by his actions.
As I read the article, I could not help but think that Graham's memorial burial site reminded me of the "manger" that Jesus was born in. Likewise, as one moves forward through the memorial by walking on straw, I thought of the road into Jerusalem strewn with palm crosses. The only thing missing were the stones leading up to Graham's grave being painted gold, after all, doesn't he preach that the streets in heaven are strewn with gold?
Patricia Cornwall is right. It is "tacky".
On my deathbed if they ask me where I want to be buried I'm going to tell them to suprise me.
Ruth Graham does not want to be buried there. Her son should raze the barn to ground if that's what it takes to make his mom happy.
I am relieved.
