“Billy Graham Ministry” at my house!
A couple of days after being home from the Hospital – I was going to start to do that which I was told – that I should do – walk more and get exercise – so that the medicine would kick in and do what it is suppose to do?
Following the instructions – I put my “House-coat” on, and went outside. The weather was just so great – so then – there I was walking and was looking down the street and then there was a Bus. The Driver opened the door and hollered – “Are you getting on?” There I stood – not knowing where I was going and not even- really aware that I still had my “House-coat” on over my P.J’s” – and probably looking like a mental case? So, I just got on – and took a seat – was not even – ask for any money??
I had no idea of what I was doing or where I was going – so I just kept looking out – for where I had got on this BUS – so that I could then get off? Some people were now getting off – and as I was watching them – and where they were headed – this looked like – where I should get off, too! These other people were a few steps ahead of me and now – walking faster than me – I was just like a “TAG-A-LONG?”
Would you believe it – they were headed for my house and just went on in? There was a person at the door: giving each person some kind of a “flyer” and a hearty “WELCOME” greeting – and I was just following them into my house? There were quite a few people in the house and all as busy as they could be. I just sat myself down – and just watching to see what was going on – when I took notice of some people going downstairs – so, I follow on down.
When I got downstairs – they were moving my “MOVIE” screen over to the end portion of the room, and others were making rows of chairs – looked like 6 or 7 chairs in each row – and my “Movie” projector set up – ready with film. I just took a seat to continue to watch as my stuff was being moved around, when I heard someone say on the “loud speaker” and nice and loud, to another worker – “There sure isn’t much food in the refrigerator for all of these people – what are we to do?” The person that I now – am guessing, was in charge replied in a loud enough voice, so that everyone would know, that they were going to get something good to eat, “There is a “Caterer” who sets up and brings all of the food – we will not have to worry – she always brings all which, we all like!”
Well, I never saw so many people in my house – all so busy and doing stuff – which I had no knowledge of, and I sure cannot remember giving my permission to have all of this going on? So, when I got upstairs – I was walking near the bathroom and thought I had better get a shower, and get myself dressed – for whatever is going on in my own home? As I was looking in the closet for a change of clothes – some woman coming in a big hurry and she slapped my hands- and said “You cannot just take stuff – from this house that we are in – we only come in where we are expected for our “Billy Graham Ministry” program – and we will have plenty of refreshments, and leave the house exactly as we found it!” “We do not take anything, that is not ours – do you understand?” – – – “This is my house, and I do feel that I need to clean up and besides that – I did not know anything about this program that you have going on – in my house??” – – Another woman came running and in a hurry – with her figure over her mouth – and then – when she had our attention, said “Billy Graham “ is downstairs and he is speaking – come on down stairs, NOW!”
All of a sudden – I could hear “Billy Graham” speaking… and his voice was getting louder… and I… kind of stretched and turned over in my bed… And then, I could hear “Billy Graham” so loud and clear… opening my eyes, I could see on the clock radio – it was time for me to get up and out of this bed… “But – that “DREAM” sure felt like I was right there – every step of the way – – I was there…– it was all so real!??”
