Billy Graham

Billy Graham died today, he was 99.

I remember watching on TV his crusades as a child and then later as a teenager. I watched them with my Gramma and [Great] Aunt Mary. I was captivated by his clear, forceful and resolute preaching. Here was a man boldly proclaiming our need for a Savior and that He is the Lord Jesus Christ! Thank you, Lord, for raising up Billy Graham to proclaim your Gospel to the world! Well done, good and faithful servant.

“Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead,” Graham once wrote. “Don’t you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God.”

Gramma

My dear, sweet Gramma
You touched every life
That came across you
Not thinking of yourself,
You toiled for your family
Loving, building up, growing
I will never forget
Your smile and laugh
All the good times we shared
I remember watching your soap operas with you
Days Of Our Lives and the Young and the Restless
Precious moments
Oh the fun we had,
watching Hunter and Miami Vice
I remember all of our holidays together
As kids at Christmas time you showered us with gifts
You are the best cook I've ever met
I will cherish your galumpkis, kielbasa, halushki, kapusta, pierogi, baked ham and turkey
Thank you for taking me to church
You kept God first in your life
I miss you Gramma
See you again someday
