Billy Graham

My mom, Marilyn, got some of us kids out to the bus stop. We had to run across the Pacific Avenue road in Forest Grove, as Tri-Met Bus 57 or 58 came to the street light near the Neil Armstrong sign. Mom was out of breath. The bus took us to Beaverton or to Portland, Oregon. We may have taken the MAX train if the bus didn't take us all the way to PDX. We followed big crowds of people towards the stadium to see reverend, evangelist, preacher, Billy Graham, preach and talk to thousands of people that day in the rain. There was some praise, some hymn singing. That was the one time we saw Billy. Some years later, we saw Benny Hinn, Carmen, Al Gore, and others at different times. We saw Billy on like a Friday, the 25th of September of 1992. That fall, played wrestling, then played softball in the spring of 1993 when I was eight, and then started playing basketball. When we went to the Billy Graham Crusade, Billy preached a sermon called, "Another Road, Another Chance," on Matthews 12:38-42 and on the story of Jonah & the whale. We saw Home Alone 2 with my dad's half brother, Jim Atkins, his son, Josh, possibly a Filipino girlfriend, as a family in November of 1992. Pretty funny film for sure.
