Ruth Bell Graham, wife of the amazing evangelist Billy Graham. She died in June ,and there was a TV special on her. I was curious about the type of person she was, so I watched. I think I would have loved to have gotten to know her. Her parents were medical missionaries in China, so she grew up there. Because of her background, she herself was wanting to be a missionary. She ended up marrying an evangelist instead. She loved adventure-rode a motorcyle, hang glide, etc. Her passion for Christ was also very evident. She left a legacy for her children and grandchildren. Her family and friends repeatedly commented on how strong she was in the Lord. I appreciate Billy Graham's comments about his wife-just what a huge impact she has on the ministry as she loved him, prayed for him, counseled him. I went to billygraham.org to see if i could read more about her. The more I read about her, the more I like her.
If I could pick a woman to look up to, she would be one of them....
