An Amazing Place!


Today we had the awesome privilege to tour the new Billy Graham Library (Museum actually) in Charlotte, North Carolina. It looks like a fancy barn with a huge cross-shaped glass windowed entrance. The presentation is a 3-D, awe-inspiring journey through the many years of this man's ministry and family life. Folks - this is one stop NOT to miss in your trip through time on this earth! A definite on the list of "places to see in my lifetime"! You say "Just how interesting could a building/museum of sorts be?"

Well, I will say this..it reflects the message of hope preached to millions the world over. It was well thought out and put together that it pulls all these pieces of information together in one place through multi-media presentations, artifacts and mock-up places of significance. In fact it has so many facets that it is hard to put into words. It so impressed the hearts of the 118 people on the tour with us that they did not want to leave and intend on returning soon.

We need to go back and soak in the scriptures, the music, the pieces of this place in history and God's message of hope and peace. I think all of us were shedding joyful tears at some point there or since. Billy Graham had a burning desire to share his faith in Jesus Christ and carry the "good news" with lost souls world wide!
