Rev. Billy Graham, the beloved pastor of the world, is now in his heavenly home and was welcomed by his Lord and Savor Jesus Christ. It is only fitting that he has received such an honor to lie in state in the US Capital Rotunda. My prayers are with his family and all Americans who loved him.

The Architect's Office did a wonderful job, as the ceremony was a beautiful tribute and everything looked very good. It was nice of Congress to honor Rev. Graham in this manner and the presentations certainly speak to the spiritual basis of our country. Nice job by all and thank you from this grateful American.
I'm thankful and pleased that his country saw fit to honor Billy Graham in this remarkable way. He lived his long life to always honor and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. I am certain his Lord gave him a great welcome to heaven. Earth is lessened by his passing, but heaven is increased. _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_
