http://myfox8.com/2015/08/19/billy-grahams-daughter-thanks-people-who-are-praying-for-her-husband/:Statement from his daughter " Thank you for your prayers as we walk through this valley of the shadow" and I am sure we all know the two words that follow that! :pop:

 

So they're praying to "god" for him to recover, surely if "god" sees everything and effectively controls all that happens. Wouldn't it have been "god" that put him in that state in the first place?

Well, it's either God or Barrymore, the usual suspects in pool related issues....

Yes but I am sure they justify it by "everything happens for a reason"

Billy Graham's son-in-law, Danny Lotz, dies after drowning.

 

http://www.wral.com/news/page/12706857/?break_id=12773

Sounded like he had end stage diabetes.It was reported that he was having diabetic seizures and on dialysis.Seizure in the pool is my guess.I wonder what the odds are of Billy attending the funeral or even making a public statement?I would say the chances are slim.I wonder if they will even bother telling him at his age and health.

I'd say that a funeral appearance is out of the question as he is probably bed-ridden at this stage. they will probably release a statement 'on his behalf'.

Perhaps they were hoping for a miracle

Barrymore doesn't do ashtrays, just throws the used fags in the pool.

 

 

Oh, my coat!

Theology 101 - FAIL.

 

(Don't feel too bad - Billy Graham seems to have failed it too. ;) )

Billy Graham`s son-in laws death got me thinking.Just how many of our candidates have outlived either a child son or daughter in law or grandchild.It is a surprisingly common trend.

 

Herman Wouk:Son Abraham died in 1951 aged 4.

Olivia de Havilland :Son Benjamin died in 1991 aged 41.

Kirk Dougas:Son Eric died in 2004 aged 46.Daughter in law Jo Ann Savitt died in 2013.

Zsa Zsa Gabor:Daughter Francesca Hilton died in 2015 aged 67

Billy Graham:Son-in law Danny Lotz died in 2015 aged 78

Helmut Schmidt:Son Helmut died in 1945 aged 8 months.

Prince Phillip:Daughter in law Diana died in 1997 aged 36.

Nancy Reagan:Step-Daughter Maureen died in 2001 aged 60 .Daughter in-law Doria died in 2014 aged c 63.

Jake LaMotta.Lost 2 sons in 1998 Jake and Joseph.

Doris Day:Son Terry Melcher died in 2004 aged 62.

George H.W Bush:Daughter Robin died in 1953 aged 3.

Bhumibol Adulyadej:Grandson died in the Asian Tsunami of 2004 aged 21.

You are quite right he has.Others on the list to have outlived two or more spouses are Zsa Zsa Gabor (8) Doris Day (4) Maureen O`Hara (3) and Olivia de Havilland (2).

You can add Herman Wouk to the child outlivers list, his son Abraham died in a swimming pool accident back in 1951

He's written his final book apparently. http://www.religionnews.com/2015/10/02/billy-graham-warns-of-fire-and-brimstone-in-final-book/If we are in luck he's delusional enough to believe his work is now done; and that if he croaks it he'll be able to watch all the non-believers etc burning from a cosy spot in heaven and stop hanging on to life in the here and now.

He dares to tickle the Reaper's chin? With some diversionary tactic such as faith? Nailed on for sometime in the next twelve months!

Nailed up would be good.

3 years is hell of a long time when you are 97 but when you have had has many health problems as Billy it seems like a poor bet indeed.Then again this is Evangelical Christians being delusional which they are masters at!

Billy Graham releases his 'final' book:

 

http://www.charismanews.com/culture/52435-billy-graham-warns-of-fire-and-brimstone-in-final-book

 

According to the article, scholars have noted a certain change in attitude in there. My theory: this book was written by his son Franklin Graham, who is a bit of a christian fundamentalist. He or his organization most likely also writes Graham's daily sermons that are published in several newspapers. So basically, when Billy Graham describes this book as his 'final' book, it's actually his son suspecting that Billy doesn't have long to live anymore, certainly not long enough to publish another book in his name.

 

Edit: Oops, sorry rockhopperpenguin, who was first with the news, so that my own flimsy musings are the only value of this comment.
