Get well soon Billy Graham! Our prayers are with you!www.foxnews.com/us/2011/11/30/evangelist-billy-graham-admitted-to-north-carolina-hospital/?test=latestnews QUOTE: Evangelist Billy Graham Admitted to North Carolina Hospital Evangelist Billy Graham ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The Rev. Billy Graham was admitted to a hospital Wednesday near his home in western North Carolina to be tested for pneumonia after suffering from congestion, a cough and a slight fever, his spokesman said. The 93-year-old evangelist was taken to Mission Hospital in Asheville, spokesman A. Larry Ross said. His personal physician, Dr. Lucian Rice, said he was in stable condition. A news release issued by the hospital said Graham was alert, smiling and waving to staff as he entered the hospital. Ross said Graham was admitted for observation and treatment and likely would spend the night there. For six decades, Graham led a worldwide crusade-based ministry that packed stadiums with believers and allowed him to counsel every U.S. president since Harry Truman. His most recent book, "Nearing Home," was published last month. In recent years, age-related conditions such as macular degeneration and hearing loss have kept Graham at his home in Montreat, about 20 miles east of Asheville. He was last hospitalized in May, when he spent five days at the same hospital for pneumonia. In October 2008, Graham was hospitalized after he tripped and fell over one of his dogs. Earlier that same year, he had elective surgery on a shunt that controls excess fluid on his brain. The shunt was first installed in 2000 and drains fluid through a small tube, relieving excess pressure that can cause symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease. Graham has also suffered from prostate cancer and was hospitalized in 2007 for nearly two weeks after experiencing intestinal bleeding. His wife, Ruth Bell Graham, died in June 2007. Graham rarely appears in public now. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is run by Graham's son, Franklin.

I once attended a Billy Graham meeting in my town. The man himself wasn't there of course; the whole thing was transmitted via a giant screen with people on stage ready to ensnare welcome members of the audience overcome with the spirit of it all.
The first half hour, maybe more, was devoted to telling us how wonderful the movement was, how many folk had had their lives transformed, how the movement had grown all over the word. I got so bored of waiting for the actual message that I must have fallen asleep, because the whole event came to an end without providing me with any reason to join the happy band of Billy Graham devotees.
Suspecting that the whole attraction was born of nothing more than mass hysteria I walked out scowling. A young man at the entrance took my hand without a by-your-leave and held it between his.
So sorry all those who think the guy is wonderful; I suspect him of perpetrating one giant con trick.
