YOU listened with your Mind ~ Heart and your SOUL !

Mio Caro Amico BRIAN...

Un Forte Abbraccio e Baci...
~Laura~
GRAZIE ~ LAURA CARA MIA ~ Si BILLY GRAHAM era un Santo e amato da tutti Cristiani ~ He will REQUIEM in PACE ! Thanks or your appreciation ~ Baci e Abbracci e Amore ~ BRIAN Christiano Evangelico XOX
A wonderful tribute Brian. The world's a poorer place without such people. And yet in one way not poor - but a richer place, for all his legacy. I saw a robin recently, fleetingly. Did it come to sing a message to me of one more bright star in heaven?
Thanks STEVE ~ BG was a unique Christian ~ His legacy are his Books and the millions from each segment of the Globe ~ Who are working with the LORD and serving the ever growing Kingdom of God on Planet earth ~ AMEN. Robins are omens !
There\'s one more SAINT up in Heaven
There\'s one more STAR in the Sky
BILLY we\'ll never forget you
It\'s tough but we\'ll have to get by
You\'re singing God\'s praise up in Glory
With Ruth & Beverley ~ Cliff
You have left us a wonderful story
We are CERTAIN ~ no longer ask IF ?
Yours BRIAN ~ A born-again Christian ~ AMEN !
Oohhh I know - of course I was at ALL the crusades - being millions of years old, I was in the ancient Crusades too? You seen my horse from there?!
Very good write Brian, I guessed that you would write a tribute to Billy Graham as it was in my mind to write one but I decided to wait until I saw your offering today. Well done.
Thanks ANDY ~ I pray that there will be other tributes to a very extraordinary Man of GOD. like Saul of Tarsus ~ Billy Graham was chosen by God ~ empowered by the Holy Spirit ~ To Preach the Pure & Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Whole World in the 20th C. There will only be another Billy Graham if God so will it ! Pleased you enjoyed my tribute ~ Yours BRIAN
I don't share the same views and I could expand but I'll resist as this is not the time so forgive me for not waxing lyrical but a fine write nonetheless.
Thanks MIKE ~ Pleased you enjoyed it as \"An Acrostic Sonnet\" I did my best to encapsulate the life of one of the most important Men of the 2Oth C ! Thanks for your forbearance in respect of the Demise of Billy Graham ~ yesterday ! Yours BRIAN
I can go on forever about how I listened to Billy Graham, but to make a long story short, My mom and dad recieved salvation at one of his crusades in the seventies and my auntie in the eighties. My mom told me that as she grew up in Belieze in the fifties, she would get an American broadcast signal on her radio and would listen to him every morning and night. He was a great man. Now he is in heaven with Jesus.
This is a great priece. I did not think anyone here would think about him.
Persistence is key
THANKS FRIEND ~ thanks to your Personal reflections and the effectiveness of Billy's Preaching to encourage People to accept JESUS as their Saviour ! A very exceptional MAN ~ Yours BRIAN
A wonderful tribute to a great man. Loved by many. Great job! Sister Christina
Thanks CHRIS ~ pleased you enjoyed my tribute to a very exceptional MAN ! He was respected by all Christian Denominations and also by People of other Faiths and by Presidents & Monarchs throughout the World ! Unless it is by the "Will of God" we shall not see another Billy Graham in our generation. We have been privileged to share the final decades of his life & Ministry. I have visited the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte N Carolina ~ very moving ! Brotherly Hugs ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@
Briansores....I first find out about Billy Graham when my preacher told me about him. Billy Graham keep things simple while preaching.
Thanks BELOVED ~ Yes it was indeed his Simplicity ~ Sincerity and Spirit Filled Life ~ that made him such an effective Evangelist ! There are lots of BG Sermons on You Tube ~ You should check them out ~ OK. Thanks for your comment Yours BRIAN
