Mixed Emotions

Today is a sad day, as we learn of the passing of a powerful man of God, Billy Graham.  At the age of 99, God has called him home, after a lifetime of pointing people to Jesus.  Only eternity will reveal how many lives were changed because of the influence of his life.

Today is also a day to rejoice because Billy Graham is now in the presence of Jesus.  He is free from the challenges this life gave him, and free from the evils which seem to prevail here on earth.  All of heaven is rejoicing over the arrival of a dear saint called home.

Lastly, today is a day to be challenged.  As a fellow believer, I am challenged to step up to the plate, and do a better job of reflecting Christ's love and forgiveness in my life, as Billy Graham did.  I am praying for a new level of boldness in sharing my faith.  It's time to wake up, church.  A hurting world needs what we have to offer!
