Obama Pays His First Visit to Billy Graham, Prays With Him

We should all do as Billy Graham requested.

President Obama had his first meeting with Rev. Billy Graham on Sunday, stopping at the Blue Ridge Mountains retreat of the 91-year old evangelist on his way to West Virginia to eulogize the 29 coal miners who died there.

"The President had a private prayer and conversation with Rev. Graham," said White House spokesman Bill Burton. "He is extraordinarily gratified that he took the time to meet with him."

Graham issued a statement after the meeting, saying ""I am pleased to have had President Obama in my home this afternoon. I want to encourage Christians everywhere to pray for our president and for all those in positions of authority and especially for the men and women serving in our military."

Maybe You should meet Billy and he could introduce you to God.

Please don't take Billy Graham's words of wisdom as anything other than what any other man of God would admonish other Christians to do. He was not endorsing Obama's politics, his faith, or his administration. He was just sharing with believers what we are taught to do in scripture. I would not have expected anything less of him.
