Billy Graham near death, ?close to going home to be with the Lord? - Washington Times
The Rev. Billy Graham is near death, and it wont be much longer before he succumbs to old age and goes home to be with the Lord, his grandson, Will Graham, said this week.
I wish [God] would give him strength, but I dont think he needs strength anymore, Mr. Graham said, to the Christian news site, Assist News Service. Its time to go home.
Mr. Graham, whos spread the gospel around the world and to the highest political offices in the nation just turned 95 on Nov. 7, celebrating with a North Carolina party that included more than 1,000 notable guests, Newsmax reported. Hes been ill for years, fighting off Parkinsons disease, pneumonia, prostate cancer and pulmonary problems, and has also been plagued by issues from his broken hips.
One of the most influential men of the cloth in the 20th century, spiritual advisor to more Presidents (of both parties) than ever before in history, from Harry Truman to Barack Obama (12 presidents).
I am sure that when his time comes, he will be missed by many millions of people across the globe. Rev. Graham has been a huge supporter of Israel for a long, long time. Note the date of this article:

That's sad but not surprising he has been in bad health for awhile now he is a truly good and decent man who will be missed.
