Evangelist Graham, 92, hospitalized with pneumonia

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Evangelist Billy Graham was alert and resting comfortably Wednesday evening after being admitted to an Asheville, N.C. hospital for the treatment of pneumonia, doctors said.
The 92-year-old Graham arrived Wednesday morning at Mission Hospital after he suffered a health episode overnight that included sweating, coughing and breathing difficulty, Graham spokesman A. Larry Ross told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "But he was never in distress or an acute situation," Ross said.
"Throughout his stay, he had remained alert and in good spirits and with his humor intact," Ross said. "He signed his own admission papers."
Testing suggested he was suffering from pneumonia, and diagnostic tests showed his heart was normal.
Dr. Shaw Henderson, a pulmonologist, said Graham was being treated with antibiotics and was "clinically stable," according to a statement from the hospital.
Graham's primary physician, Dr. Lucien Rice, said in the statement that no date had been set for Graham's release, but that he "is resting comfortably and is fully alert."
Age-related conditions such as macular degeneration and hearing loss have kept Graham at his home in Montreat in western North Carolina in recent years, Ross said. But he said Graham has remained in good health overall.
Franklin Graham, who heads relief agency Samaritan's Purse, along with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is in North Korea through the end of the week, spokesman Todd Shearer told the AP. He's monitoring his father's health but doesn't plan to return home early at this point, Shearer said.
For six decades, Graham led a worldwide crusade-based ministry that packed stadiums with believers and allowed him to counsel every U.S. president since Harry Truman.
Graham rarely appears in public now, but he did come out in December for a visit from former President George W. Bush at Graham's namesake library in Charlotte. Graham, who was in a wheelchair, hugged Bush before leaving the former president and former first lady Laura Bush in the library book store for a book signing.
In October 2008, Graham was hospitalized after he tripped and fell over one of his dogs.
Earlier that same year, Graham had elective surgery on a shunt that controls excess fluid on his brain. The shunt was first installed in 2000. It drains fluid through a small tube, relieving excess pressure that can cause symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease.
Graham has also suffered from prostate cancer. He was hospitalized in 2007 for nearly two weeks after experiencing intestinal bleeding.
His wife, Ruth Bell Graham, died in June 2007.
oh man... maybe there is truth to this after all! anybody who is familiar with billy graham knows that his biggest platform is that he promises to see the second coming of christ
My church is clearly very concerned with this: we have a musical planned for May 22nd and a mission trip in early June.

There's a link to a PDF there. Have fun trying to get through it.
I wonder how long it takes most to rage after reading that? I read it after you suggested on FB and got a headache shortly thereafter. Never again will I ignore your words.
I'll be at the beach on the 21st! I hope to catch some gnarly tsunami waves. Only time Texas will have decent waves to surf.
It sure didn't take me long, but I'm glad I was able to power through to get far enough to see the whole: "all the churches have been worshiping Satan since 1988" bit so I could laugh my ass off. The sweeping statement that all Christians must leave their churches to have any hope of salvation had me rolling too.
Doomsday prophesy preaching that people leave church: irony anyone?
I don't have a problem with people saying the earth is going to be destroyed on X day. My problem derives from people saying "the entire universe" will be destroyed on X day. As if our tiny spec of matter is relevant to the infinite cosmos of space time.
No really, could someone actually explain why people are so Hell-bent (lol) on the destruction of other humans and the planet? I grew up in church but that was one of the many things that was just put under, "The Lord works in mysterious ways" slogan. It's been mentioned a times earlier but no answer. Someone get Egon and the other resident (super crazy) Christians.

He also claimed the world was going to end in October 1994, so he obviously has a good track record for these sorts of things!
He's not a quitter. Only pussies let a little thing like 'being wrong' deter them.
Wait a second..
October 1994.
10/1994
10 divided by 1994 = 0.005015045
Jesus rose on the 3rd day, and the 3rd decimal place is 5. May is the 5th month..
1994/10 = 199.4. 199.4 divided by the 12 tribes of Isreal = 16.61. 16.61 + the 12th decimal place of 0.005015045 is 21...
The first two digits of 1994 is 19. Adding the 1st and 9th decimal place of 0.005015045 is 11..
5-21-11.
MOTHER OF GOD. HE WAS RIGHT.
