I don’t think it’s at all a coincidence that the Lord waited ‘till the last crew was out of the WH before he called Reverend Graham home. Nope, no sir.
I so totally agree. I was just reflecting on that today, how sad it was for him, after all his months-long trips around the world, to finally be home and retired from traveling, but his beloved wife had died 11 years ago. Being nearly immobilized by illness, yet without her day after day—surrounded by memories of her in the house she had created—must have made him wonder why the Lord was keeping him alive.
You can be sure that the news of his death, had it occured during the past administration, would have been suppressed.
Because he was spared until this year, he is sent off with accolades from public figures, and there is an outpouring of his words over YouTube and television in a way that would not even have been so readily possible eight or ten years ago, due to the increase in computing power and media saturation in the past decade. God's own timing.
