The Push

Recently, Father Jerry spoke of how he and Father Chuck Owens each had encounters with the Rev. Billy Graham.  It made me recall how on one Saturday night I watched Mr. Graham on TV and in closing he said for us to go to church on Sunday morning. If we did not have a church, he implored us to find one.

As always the beautiful hymn "Just As I Am" was played, and I wept thinking of how negligent I had become about going to church every Sunday. 

The next morning, I went to church, and I have been going every Sunday morning since, unless sickness or some other very good reason kept me from it.  I think a great deal of the Rev. Billy Graham and thank him for giving me "the push" I needed to become more faithful to my church.
