One of my heroes died a few minutes ago...

As a new follower of Jesus in the mid 1980's, I was desparately looking for spiritual mentors and heros to replace the ones that were after their own glory, or worshipping sports or rock starts. Billy and Ruth Graham have been, and still are, two of my absolute heroes in the faith. Ruth passed from this life into the arms of Jesus Christ at 5pm Eastern time. I never met her, but have been influenced by her life and faith in Jesus. For a good synopsis of her life and calling, go to this news report from the Charlotte Observer. God is faithful till the end!!
