RIP Billy Graham

America lost quite possibly our last pastor yesterday. I’m not one who longs too much for the past, but his uniting message of God’s love and his ability to minister to presidents on both ends of the political spectrum will be missed.

May he find rest near to the heart of God.

    His son is doing a lot.

    Not the revolutionary his dad was but he's doing a ton of charity work his dad didn't do as far as I know. Just as important too. The Black mountain Graham university is in a heavenly part of NC..

    RIP Billy. I saw him a couple times when he was in Indy. His impact on the US cannot be understated.

    He will be missed.

    I'm a bad Catholic, but this man had a positive message, and reached many people. Isn't that truly the purpose of Christianity? Mission accomplished, rest well.

    A facet of humanity that will be forever missed. He truly loved what he did and did not judge those who did not follow his Word.

    This goes to your comment about Rev. Graham judging others as equals as much as possible. This hasn't been in the news I don't think. This says a lot!

    ^^It was mentioned on CBS This Morning, today.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    I've no clue who this is but he sounds like an important man to a certain community of people, and for that he will be missed. RIP, sir.
