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..

    Billy graham is an American icon. He reached across the political aisle. I thought we could just honor him and wish his family well.

    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.

    Growing up, my parents and at least 2 of the 3 kids sat in front of the black and white 23" tv and watched silently every televised Billy Graham Crusade. I especialy loved the end of his speech when hundreds lined up.
    Let some of us pay due respects for one day, please. o:)

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

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

    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.
