we might hear from Bill and Hillary soon.

I was there at Billy Graham’s LAST gospel crusade in Flushing Meadows, Corona Park. Bill and Hillary were prominently seated behind him as he preached. Graham was about 87 then (It was 2005).

It was then when he referred to the Clintons as “wonderful friends,” joking that the former president should consider becoming an evangelist and let “his wife to run the country.” (that did not go too well in certain parts of the country then ).

I remember that and since the preferred to watch the ministry of Franklin Graham. I thought Billy had gone senile.

I saw Graham at a rally in Pontiac Michigan when I was about 12. http://silverdome-architect.blogspot.com/2016/02/billy-graham-1976-t-is-same-scene.html

When I was in college, I rented a room from an elderly lady who told me that she saw Billy Sunday, one of the first major league itinerant preachers speak.

Mr. Graham was a gentleman through and through. I shall not hold that against him. Evangelism is about meeting people where they are. Point a bony finger at a man and the conversation is over.
