(ThyBlackMan.com) I feel compelled to pay my respect to preacher Billy Graham who went home to Jesus at 99 years old. My 89 year old black dad has been a preacher for over 50 years. Dad told me how much he enjoyed watching people coming down the isles at Billy Graham ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Though there are notable exceptions, my life experience suggests that people with a lot of power and money have trouble trusting their fate to anything else.
