The Reverand Billy Graham is gone. Yet, he remains forever with us, his booming North Carolina voice ringing in our ears and his message of the love and forgiveness of God fills our hearts Each of us has a chain of transformative personalities sprinkled along our timeline of life. For me, and millions of others, Billy Graham is one of the most influential and transformative people of the last century. He wasn’t always America’s Pastor.
