I though he died in the ‘90’s.

Read “Unbroken” by Laura Hellinbrand. He meant a lot to Louis Zamporini whose story needs to be heard.

I have the utmost respect for Dr. Graham, but was somewhat surprised that someone with that amount of faith, and that at age would dread death that badly.

Rev. Graham has spoken before more people than any person in history. He is just a wonderful man and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ.

He preached basically the same sermon all his life. Ye people still came to hear him preach.

Here's one of the things Billy Graham chose to tell the world about Bill and Hillary Clinton, who he had sitting on-stage next to him as he preached about a Savior their lives show no hint of having embraced:

"They're a great couple," he said. "I told an audience that I felt when he left the presidency he should be an evangelist because he has all the gifts and he'd leave his wife to run the country."

I met him about 20 years ago. Great sense of humor.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Graham!

I remember attending one of his crusades held at the Astrodome when I was about 8-9. Our church had gotten a group to attend and some had actually volunteered for the event.

I made an impact on many around us that night. As the offering plate was passed down our row and the person next to me handed it over I didn’t get a firm grasp on the plate, and I dropped it. It loudly banged against the cement floor and change went everywhere. My poor mother got on her knees in the dark looking for the money to try to put it back into the offering plate.

I will be praying for his pain to be relieved. What a great Christian. He never had a scandal. He always had a chaperone when woman were around in the ministry.
