My mother’s prayers
Last Christmas, when Mom, at age 95, was ill and on her way to the hospital, she said, “Lord, I’m not ready to go to heaven; I’ve got too many friends who don’t know Jesus.” The Lord gave Mom another six months.
To honor my mother’s desire for everyone to know Jesus, I submit this letter. Mom was born in 1918, which is also the year that Billy Graham was born. Back then, America better understood why “our Lord” is in our Constitution and why we place our hands on the Bible when taking an oath.
