Billy Graham

I noted his passing a few days ago.  I did think about an R.I.P. but then I thought - what's the point?  If he hasn't got his reserved seat up there, what hope is there for the rest of us?  I remember my Mum, who was far more into religion than I, commenting after watching one of his "crusades" on the TV.  It was his habit to invite members of the audience to "come forward and accept Christ as your saviour".  Many people would do so, and for the most part they would be in a very emotional state.  "I think" said my Mum "that if you have just found Jesus, you would come forward with joy in your heart, and not with tears streaming down your face".  I always remember that - well said, Mum.
