Good site! I'll stay reading! Keep improving!

Dear Ann,
I am certain that you do not remember me, but I have been teaching at Broughton H.S. for the past 22 years. I had the pleasure of teaching Jonathan and have, on several occasions, been in contact with him via email. I have not heard from him in several months and wondered how he was doing. It is no coincidence that Jonathan's emails always came at a time when I was undergoing some family illness or difficulty. His email were so encouraging. He was a very special student to me. My first encounter with him was as a 10th grade student. Looking out over my class of thirty, I couldn't help but notice a tall young man with crystal blue eyes. There was something very special about the way he looked at me, as if the light of God was shining through. I had no idea at that time that he was Reverend Graham's grandson. I taught him as a senior at Brouthton also. By that time, I knew well of his love of the Lord and his enduring faith. He taught me more than I taught him in many, many ways. I would want his grandfather to know of this and hope that you can convey it to him. You are a very special family and the legacy of your parent's good works is enduring. Your daughter Rachel Ruth graduated in my son Jason's class. I ran into her and her two daughters in the grocery store. She lives near me in north Raleigh. They, too, are a beautiful example of your strong family and faith.

This summer my husband was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer. He had successful surgery at The Mayo Clinic and will undergo radiation and chemotherapy here in Raleigh. I am strengthened daily by the love of the Lord and Jesus Christ--knowing that faith dispells our fear and that no matter, we are loved and supported by God's love.

Your parents have inspired me in many ways and I want to thank you for the opportunity to know your children through my teaching at Broughton.

As you stated, once the seeds of the love of Jesus and his words are planted in one's heart, they cannot help but grow.

Sincerely,
Susan Waldrum

Colonel Kurtz, William Kraal:

Col Kurtz, no Colonel would ever act the way you do, SIR! Kurz is the German word for "short or small". Obviously that fits you well, as in mind.

Mr. Kraal, in the Dutch language a kraal is a bead, therefore your brain can not be any larger that.

Jeebus! we know you believe in capital punishment b/c you keep killing us all, every one. dear jeebus, i'm beginning to doubt you hear prayers, or that you even exist. i've been praying and praying, lo, these last few minutes, and no answer. though we know, sweet jeebus, we shall all be w/you one day, w/ruth graham and jerry falwell and others who made their millions telling us we were all going to hell unless we believed exactly what they said about you, jeebus, please, your children want to be w/you. can you take them? precious jeebus, i await your answer.

Dear Ms Lotz

I send my heartfelt condolences to you, your father,the rest of the family and all her friends on the passing away of your mother, Ms Ruth Graham. It is a great blessing to be able to say of one's mother that one was loved unconditionally by her. Your mother's life filled with unconditional love as a faithful Christian wife and mother, and her love for Jesus, would remain an inspiration to Christians worldwide.

Example of love filled marriages that last until death does the partners apart never lose their incredible beauty, power and ability to give hope to all who seek love in a partnership that reflects God's faithful love in this life. I praise Our Lord Jesus Christ that your parents' marriage was one such and your mother reflected that faithful love till her death!

well said, drrosenrosen. F, i agree.

"I have no doubt that the reason I love Jesus and I love my Bible is because she did…and she planted those seeds in my heart long ago."

This is the most naive, self-unaware, damning statement I've seen on these boards. Of course you love Jesus instead of Mohammed because your parents did. Family indoctrination into a set of absolute beliefs that conflict with other absolute beliefs is the source of much of what ails the world.

Is this the comics page?

"I MYSELF AM QUITE SURPRISED THAT ANNE EVEN BOTHERED TO EXPOSE HERSELF TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT GRACE THIS SITE. QUITE SURPRISED." Well, she always was a bit of the exhibitionist!

Further iterations upon request.

Everything taught me my mother is Jesus.

Jesus taught me my mother is everything.

Mrs. Graham has long been an inspiration to me and in these last days, as I've seen photos that capture her radiance even in failing health, I rejoice with those in heaven who surely are rejoicing at a life well lived--a race well run. Thank you, Anne, for sharing your thoughts and reminding of the wonderful example your mother provided of how to drink from the well of living water. My prayers are with you and your family.

Too bad Mrs Graham never figured out that she was wasting her time following the demonstrably false religious precepts brainwashed into her as a child. Equally exasperating is Ms Lotz' obvious continuation of the misplaced fascination. Most disturbing is how society seems to think these people noble or honorable just because of their arrogance/conviction in a falsehood.

F -God understands your hurt and anger- "There is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still.."

I want to send my love and prayers to the Graham Family in their time of grief and share this song by The Isaacs:

Hope you enjoy..

Ich liebe dich auch, Jacob!

F.
Yu are totally out of line, you should be very, very ashamed of yourself. I pitty you, not because you are gay, but because you are hateful.

Remember hate begets hate. That is not a good thing!

F:

No doubt that any member of the Graham family would forgive you for that little temper tantrum.

Mrs. Lotz, I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw that you posted a message on these crazy boards today. Thank you so much for sharing. I'd like to express my sympathies towards your family with this verse.

"Though He brings grief, He will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love."

Lamentations 3:32

My deepest condolences to the family Graham on this day. Thank you all for staying above the fray and the disgrace and being true for all these years.

Mrs. Lotz your mother's legacy is reflected the beauty and dignity of your words.

With all your anger F. I doubt you'd know jesus if He stood in front of you.

ich Lubin Diech allis!

Jacob, my friend, you maybe mystical to some, but I know the goodness of your heart.

May ECLAT keep us all safe!

I MYSELF AM QUITE SURPRISED THAT ANNE EVEN BOTHERED TO EXPOSE HERSELF TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT GRACE THIS SITE. QUITE SURPRISED.

Well put, Gaby.

Ms. Lotz, me sincere condolences to you at this time of grief. My mother is still alive at 76, but I dread the day when it is no longer so. She is my best friend as I rely on her wisdom a lot.

May your faith sustain you and your family!

To the other posters:

In light of Ms. Lotz's mother's death I find it very rude to discuss anything here, other than extending condolences.

I would appreciate, if you left Mrs. Graham's beliefs about the death penalty lie. All you know is what you read. You did not know her personally, therefore you can not judge her. And according to your Christian believes you are not allowed to judge her.

She has passed to another dimension and her daughter is hurting, no doubt.

So take your rudeness somewhere else, please.

Yeah.

Sure.

OK.

Whatever.

"After hearing about North Carolina death row inmate Velma Barfield's jailhouse conversion, she befriended the convicted murderer and corresponded with her--never giving up her support for the death penalty."

Sorry, Bobby. You cannot be a Christian
if you favor the death penalty.

"Apparently, she spent too little time reading
the New Testament"

Gee Dave Kerr:

Are you familar with Galatians 6:7-8 ?

hey DAve Kerr,

the commandment is do not murder not do not kill.

The bible is not against capital punishment enforced by the law of the land,

what else Christian basher?

"Mrs. Graham
supported Capital punishment." ???

I am surprised and disappointed that Mrs. Graham
supported Capital punishment.

Apparently, she spent too little time reading
the New Testament.

What a beautiful testimony. Thanks so much for sharing. May my life and witness to my children be so evident. May God continue to richly bless you and your family's ministries around the world.

May God comfort and give strength to Billy Graham as he deals with his wife's passing. Ruth Graham was every bit an equal to her husband; a light with rare beauty has left this world..
