Billy Graham; America's Pastor...1918-2018.

Pastor Billy Graham was so many things to so many people.  He was a loving dad, devoted husband, and amazing shepherd to his flock of countless millions; he reminded me of the parable of the mustard seed from Mark 4:32 “…it grows and becomes the largest of all the garden plants, with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade.”

He was a spiritual advisor to US Presidents and Heads of State from around the world, and many different cultures.  Everyone from political leaders and captains of industry, to those in academia, and just everyday people looking for answers to fill that achy, empty void.  It didn’t matter who they were or what their station in life was; Billy shared the same message of hope and salvation through Jesus the Christ with all of them, and millions answered his simple call to invite Jesus into their lives and accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior.

Billy Graham was loved and revered by everyone that knew him, and millions more that never got the chance to meet him; and he was as much as one man could be, 'America’s Pastor.’  I never had the privilege to meet Billy in this life, however I long for the day after I’ve crossed over, that he and I can chat about his ministry.  

Pastor Graham leaves behind an amazing legacy among Pastors, and it will be next to impossible to fill his shoes; however I also know that many will continue to carry on his important work.  I am also sure that the moment he breathed his last and was ushered into Eternity, he heard the words every follower of Christ hopes to hear…“well done, good and faithful servant.” 

As I offer my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Billy Graham, I would like to thank him for his tireless service to God and mankind, and for so many blessings and inspirations over the years.  God Bless you Reverend Graham.  I look forward to meeting you in Eternity.
