As evangelist Billy Graham marks another birthday, turning 89 on Wednesday, he expressed gratitude for his health, his family and the ongoing hope of being reunited with his wife Ruth in Heaven. According to a release by the BGEA, since the passing of his marriage and ministry partner of nearly 64 years on June 14 this year, Mr. Graham has been surprised at the depth of his grief, but simultaneously encouraged by the commensurate magnitude of God's grace. "At times, I feel as if part of me has been ripped out, and in a sense that's what has happened, because Ruth was such an important part of my life," he said. "But my faith gives me great comfort, and I can't imagine going through something like this without strength that only the Lord can provide. Thousands of visitors have toured the new Billy Graham Library since it opened May 31. Graham remains involved in active ministry as his heath allows, working on several writing projects and maintaining interest in the BGEA.
