Billy Graham’s Last Crusade Ever

With the New York Billy Graham Crusade quickly approaching the media buzz is increasing. AP interviewed Graham, asking if NYC would be his last crusade:

“In my mind, it is,” he said during an Associated Press interview at a Long Island hotel where he’s resting up for the event. “I wouldn’t like to say ‘never,’” the amiable evangelist added with a chuckle. “Never is a bad word.”

Every crusade for the last decade has been Billy’s “last,” but I don’t remember Graham himself giving that impression before. It’ll be interesting to see what happens. Not to be morbid, but I think it’d be ideal if the man died in the pulpit. There’s hardly a more fitting place for him to breathe his last.
