I read this morning
Wednesday Feb. 21 about the passing of evangelist Rev. Billy Graham. He was 99
years old.
Over the years he made
several trips to Seattle and Tacoma for a crusade. Included in that was during the 1962 Seattle
World’s Fair, the opening of the Kingdome in 1976 and 1983 the Tacoma Dome. I
had the privilege of able to go see and hear him at the one in 1983. I could
have gone to the ones in the Kingdome however it was more time and distance to
do so while the one at the Tacoma Dome was closer and more convenient.
Besides the time at the
Tacoma Dome I did see several of programs on television that were from crusades
including the one at the Kingdome. What made Rev. Graham a great man was not
only his love for his savior Jesus Christ he did not compromise what he had to
say. Jesus Christ said that your yes had to be yes and your no had to be no and
this is how Rev. Graham lived and spoke.
Like many I will miss
hearing and seeing him. He has passed on his mantle to his son Franklin Graham.
I often read messages of his on social media including the one this morning
about the passing of his father. He is now in heaven and rejoicing in the front
of Jesus.
If we can be just a part of
what Billy Graham was we have done a good thing. Rest in Peace and I will see
you on the other side someday. Amen!
