Yesterday, Michelle and I went to the first of four weddings we'll be going to over the next several weeks (no funerals planned as yet). It was held at our old church, and naturally, lots of our friends were there, all anxious to hear how things are going for us. That's cool. But while we were there, it happened again . . . several times, in fact. I was asked if I had gone to the Billy Graham thing that was in San Diego last weekend. When I tell people that no, I didn't go, I get these blank stares back at me - not hostile, mind you, but definitely a little perplexed. Kind of like the look I would get if I was ever discovered to not be reciting the pledge of allegiance to the U.S. flag (but that's another post).
I don't have anything against Billy Graham - I think he's been faithful in many ways, and has certainly had a large impact. I'm just thinking that his kind of impact is dying away. It's not my cup of tea.
