Billy Graham RIP

Rev Dr William Franklin Graham Jr November 7, 1918 – February 21, 2018

Some of my youngest memories are of Billy Graham. I recall sitting before the black and white television set on Lavender Lane in Aragona Village in Virginia Beach and watching his crusade programming most every time it aired ...

You see, I think that my Mom was a member of his flock because if he was on the teevee she was likely watching for the entirety of my childhood.

I remember growing older and seeing his program on the tube when I would be home ... though in later life I was not as likely to watch. The crusade remained a staple of the household viewing habits for as long as I can remember.

Throughout his many accolades and the televised crusades he became a part of our history because we noted those moments which featured him and his various endeavors.

I recall when Mrs Ruth Graham passed in 2007 he said that he knew who he was and where he has been and most importantly where he is going.

I am sure it was a grand reunion when he and she met in spirit now that he has gone on to his great reward.

Rest in peace.
