Thanks, Billy...

I just heard about Billy Graham going home to be with the Lord when I got home from church tonight. I vividly remember an evening in the summer of 1973. My folks had gone out to dinner and I was home alone scrolling through the TV channels. I stopped to watch a Billy Graham crusade. Very out of character for me at the age of sixteen. But as he preached his simple, unvarnished version of the gospel I knew I needed this Jesus he told me about. I gave my heart to the Lord right then and there. I owe Billy a lot, and I rejoice for him. He's now in the presence of Jesus. I'll see him and thank him when I get there. 
It's late, so I'll just say God bless us every one and shalom!

    When I heard this morning that Billy Graham had died I was so happy for him. Now he can finally be with the Lord that he so faithfully preached about all these many years.

    My feelings to you, dear Lisa!

    Sometimes - and not seldom! - God is speaking to us through people anywhere, even through TV. GREAT EXPERIENCE!

    Big joy now for Billy Graham in heaven!

    I think many of us will want to line up and thank Dr. Graham, a long line! I rededicated my life to Christ at one of his crusades in Jackson, Miss. when I was a teen. He had a true gift from God for speaking plainly, so sincerely, and each listener felt he was speaking to him/her. He was a gift to this nation and world when we needed him.
