On our way home from Spring Break we stopped at
Billy Graham's Library. Dan says it was his favorite
part of our vacation. We didn't plan this stop, but on
our drive home we saw a sign for it! It was well worth
the stop and it was a time to reflect and give thanks
to God for Saving Us!
This is the house that Billy Grahams father built
It's been moved twice. We got to tour the inside.
Most of the furnishings are authentic.
His Mom's favorite color was Robins Egg Blue.
It was in almost all the rooms.
The Living room
Billy's wife and children
Kitchen
Study
The pictures below are my favorite.
This area was called the prayer garden.
We could hear beautiful Christian Music playing
as we walked to where Billy's wife is buried.
Their were benches to stop and sit on and to pray.
I love what it says on Ruth's gravestone. Ruth Bell
Graham was born in China to missionary parents. The
Chinese Character of Righteousness is placed at the top
of the stone. While riding down the highway years ago,
Ruth noticed a sign beside the road:
"End of construction - Thank you for your patience."
With a smile, she said that these were the words she
wanted on her gravestone.
Inside this cross barn is the Library
If you click on the picture above and below, you
can see bible verses written on the beams.
We toured many rooms that walked us through
Billy's life and how God used him for His glory.
My favorite part was seeing all of God's word
everywhere we looked.
The photo below shows the progression of a
Strong Witness for Christ!

A Letter from President Nixon.
Traveling bag & Passports
At the end of the tour we got to hear Billy Graham
speak. We sat down and watched a short video clip
of him preaching. It was just like being at one
of his Tent Revivals!
They handed out material and were
ready to pray with anyone who wanted too!
Brittany found our pastor's book in
Ruth's Attic Book Store

The food was very reasonable and good.
The bathrooms were kind of cool!
