On Billy Graham's Passing

So many have things to say about Reverend Graham and the effect he had on their lives. I, along with millions of others, remember watching him as I set on the floor in front of a very small black and white set. My mom always watched. We weren't a church-attending family, but Billy Graham's Crusade message was always listened to attentively.

I remember the invitation and seeing all the people go down to accept Jesus as "Just As I Am" echoed from thousands of voices. I can remember praying "the" prayer with my small hands clasped, head bowed, peeking at the screen between words. I think I accepted Jesus every single crusade from age five on. Reverend Graham allowing God to speak through him had that effect on me, and so many others I am sure.
