The building was constructed by local craftsmen of handhewn blue granite sourced on the property. The antique pews came from the Royal London Society for the Blind. The chandeliers are hand-crafted wrought iron. A very peaceful place. Carved into one of the granite blocks at the right of the entryway is this:

Billy Graham (November 7, 1918 - February 21, 2018) spent the better part of his 99 years on earth introducing others to Jesus Christ. As one of the most influential people of the 20th century, Graham was a spiritual advisor to multiple U.S. presidents, a friend to Queen Elizabeth II, and conducted more than 400 evangelistic crusades in 185 countries and territories on six continents starting with the first on September 13–21, 1947, at the Civic Auditorium in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is estimated that Graham's lifetime audience, including radio and television broadcasts, topped 2.2 billion as of 2008 with more than 3.2 million responding to his invitations to "accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior".
Thank you Mr. Graham for your lifetime of service even though I know that still today you are serving 'at the foot of the Cross' of Jesus...
Lord Halifax, British WWII politician known as "a scarecrow in a suit;" King George III, king of England; Rev. Billy Graham, legendary preacher who is thinking about preaching again, though he was born in 1918; and William Miller, "apocalyptic" preacher who said the End of the World would arrive in 1835. :D
Without dark clouds in our lives, we would never know the joy of sunshine. We can become callous and unteachable if we do not learn from pain.
Billy Graham
"Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened."
— Billy Graham (American evangelist, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, and a civil rights advocate whose broadcast and live sermons became well known internationally in the mid-to-late 20th century)

From the archives..with my first digital camera.
Wishing everyone a great weekend!!!
Is it a miracle? Nah. I just put a magazine with the Rev. Billy Graham's picture on the cover upside down in my garden about a foot behind these water drops. I had to move things around a bit to get the focus on the face and not all the writing on the cover, but hardly miaculous. Not like seeing Mary in a potatoe chip anyway! ;> I'm slowly working on a drop-tutorial and was looking for a visual aid to explain refractions. But you really need to look at this large to see the kind of detail a waterdrop shot can have.

Ipswich, ex West Yorkshire PTE, Atlantean No. 41 heading into town at the railway station, 1984. Note the advert for the forthcoming visit to Ipswich by Billy Graham, the well known evangelist. Large crowds came to Portman Road Football Ground to hear Graham, special arrangements having to be made to cater for all the visiting buses and coaches that brought these crowds to the town.
Many of you have seen the televised view of the outside of the Billy Graham Library (Museum). This is from the inside looking out. I have been there 4 or 5 times and will probably go again. I will be posting more photos of the grounds.
37025 was working additional services Over The Top in connection with a visit by Billy Graham & is seen after arrival at Inverness with the previous day's 2200 ex Aberdeen around 0100. The Motorail loading dock is on the right. By the 24th it had gained yellow 'Dutch' upper bodyside panels-can anyone nail an exact date for this livery alteration?
Despite showing 79 'Filton' in the blinds, 1268 is returning light from Filton to her home depot, just around the corner, and off to the left of the camera.
37087 waits in the Dundee platforms at Perth with the 1600 additional service to Aberdeen in connection with a visit by Billy Graham to the Granite City.
Here’s another image from my archive.
In June 1966, the American Baptist evangelist Billy Graham came to London for one of his extraordinary ‘crusades’. Graham was a powerful, inspirational and thrilling speaker, as any newsreel will attest.
In 1966 he took over the vast Earls Court building in London, and every night for a month the place was packed to the gunnels with the faithful and the curious, who flocked in coachloads and chartered trains from all over the UK to hear him speak.
I was one of the curious, and being a 22-year-old reporter in a London suburb, it was easy to go along to one of his crusades – which weren’t without controversy, attracting accusations of demagoguery and mass hysteria in the national headlines. Whether that was so or not, the event (which attracted 18,000 people a night) was quite a spectacle; free entertainment on a grand scale for some, but a time for renewal of faith for others. Here’s my photograph of the night I went to see Billy Graham (it's a print from a now lost 35mm transparency).
PS: 'THE WAY, THE TRUT'... not exactly my most successful attempt at framing, but never mind!
During the week of Billy Graham 'Mission England' events at the Bristol City ground at Ashton Gate, several extra trains ran (in addition to hundreds of buses and coaches).
The long-closed Ashton Gate Station was temporarily reopened for the duration of the event.
One of the workings was exceptionally rare...
Bristol based hybrid set B307 - W53083, W59550 and W53820 worked down to the station. Coupled to it was a Buxton Class 104 set, BX485 - M53432, (M59186, and M53484 not visible in this shot). The Buxton set had been seen in Newport.
By November 1984, the Class 104s in set BX485 were unserviceable at Buxton, 53432 was already Condemned.
53083 New August 1957, withdrawn on September 22nd 1992.
59550 New June 20th 1959, withdrawn on October 28th 1985.
53820 New November 1957, withdrawn on July 10th 1992.
53432 New June 1957, withdrawn on July 9th 1984.
The set number was used again for three different Class 104 cars.
This would probably have been the first (and last) ever visit of a Class 104 DMU on the line!. Please excuse the camera shake!

this is Aaron Gillespie formerly of Underoath and lead singer of The Almost, and most recently one of his big things he's done was join the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in haiti on a missions and relief trip.
i got to meet aaron finally for the first time tonight after his worship set. he's extremely down to earth and just on fire for God, it was an extreme honor to be able to see some one doing God's work and not only doing that but just being brutally honest about christians and how we act today and how selfish we can be, he really hits home with a ton of key points about the human agenda coming first instead of Gods agenda coming first in our lives.
ill write more about the night and set at my blog click the link above if you wanna read or follow.
this was just an informal few snap shots no test shots for lighting or time to test the room for ambient balance, so nothing fancy i just really like the turn out.

At the risk of boring some of my contacts, here are some more railway shots from the archives! This is Ashton Gate Platform on the Portishead branch, briefly reopened in May 1984 for visitors to see evangelist preacher Billy Graham at the Bristol City football ground.
Vintage image of then-Wrestling Champion Superstar Billy Graham of the World Wide Wrestling Federation ( WWWF) posing on Broadway in Times Square New York City. The Superstar was scheduled to wrestle at Madison Square Garden later in the evening and decided to venture out for a walk in Times Square to clear his head. On 42nd Street (The Deuce) he was unexpectedly mobbed by wrestling fans of all persuasions. Feeling that heel heat as people from every walk of life were flocking to him, he ripped off his shirt and stood on a garbage can and posed. An idol among the masses. Bonus vintage product placement points for Bond Clothing Store in the background and a large Winston Cigarette billboard as well. RIP Superstar Graham - the heel you couldn’t hate. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
B595 - W51074, W59430 and W51086 have arrived at Ashton Gate, on a Billy Graham special, on May 13th 1984.

Few years ago I read this story in the Finding Jesus section of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s Decision magazine and had never left my mind ever since then; when you read it you will know why. Has a story ever made you cry and laugh at the same time? Just few minutes ago I was praying and I ended up crying and laughing at the same time. Crying because I was praying for someone I love with all my heart and wanted to see that person resting joyfully and peacefully in our Father’s loving and mighty arms, and to see that person being using mightily for God’s glory. Laughing because I remembered the Cross and I realized that the war has already been won—Satan has lost the war 2,000 years ago for the souls of God’s children. Laughing because our God is so wonderful and His love is so amazing and indescribable that the thought of Him is infinitely of times more wonderful than gaining any amount of money or any other activity on earth that we think it can bring us joy and laughter. This story has the potential of making you cry for most the parts, but then make you smile at the end.

I Will Not Forget You by Maylo Aames
My mother fell into the occult shortly after she married my father, and she became so consumed that she would leave me alone for days when I was an infant. She would just throw a bottle in the crib and go to the couch to have visions and trances.
When I was one, my father left to pursue a homosexual lifestyle. My mother re-married and had two children, my brother and sister. During grade school, I cared for them while my mother attended occult meetings. She believed she was an apostle, and she regularly had visions of chariots, angels, rats and balls of fire floating in our living room. She was erratic and violent. My stepfather worked long hours and soon began to drink heavily.
My biological father would pop up occasionally and take me to his Hollywood apartment for the weekend. He lived in a totally different world, touring with Johnny Mathis and work¬ing for Lana Turner. He seemed so glamorous and rich. His life was full of beautiful gay men who fawned all over me and made me laugh. They partied all the time.
My mother and my stepfather divorced when I was in grade school. He became a gutter drunk and was found in an alley one day with gangrene in his leg. He had an amputation but later died.
Mom got a job keypunching at night while I played "mommy" for my siblings during the week. One day my mom brought home a man from work named "Bud" (name changed for privacy). He was huge, about 6'4". His face was scarred, and he had a Brooklyn accent. Time passed, and he moved in with us.
When I was 11, my mom told me that Bud had bought a hamburger truck in Santa Barbara and needed me to work with him. I didn't want to go; I cried the whole drive up. She took me to Bud's temporary apartment and left me there. I was terrified. I spent that night in the bathtub crying while Bud tried to break down the bathroom door. Eventually he did. Enraged, he raped me repeatedly that night and continued to rape me nearly every night until I was 15. During those four years, our "family" moved from apartment to apart¬ment across the San Fernando Valley. The rapes would happen in the afternoon while my mother was making dinner. She knew.
Bud and Mom would get into violent fights. Often I would lock my brother and sister in another room and call the police. Inevitably, I would get slugged. I remember one time when the police asked my mom if she wanted to press charges. She said no. I said, "What about me?" sporting a split fat lip. They said I was a minor and Mom would have to press charges for me. The message was this: "You are trapped." I became depressed and wanted to die.
The older I got, the more I fought with Bud—and the more violent the rapes became. He told me if anyone ever found out what was going on he would kill me.
Once I ran away and hitchhiked to my father's house. As he was saying things like, "I know just how you feel," there was a knock at the door—he had called mom and Bud. Bud was kind and grateful to my father. They all acted like wise, respon¬sible adults, burdened with this problem child. Unbelievable. We went home, and Bud beat me up again.
I disappeared when I was 15, living first with a hooker, then on the streets of Hollywood with a boyfriend. We ate cabbage and pizzas from trash cans; I was involved in street fights and stabbings. We did all kinds of drugs—whatever took the pain away.
Eventually I got a job on a CBS pilot show and began my act¬ing career. One day, while I was doing a cable TV series, every¬one started whispering, "Willie Aames is going to guest star next week." I didn't know who he was, but soon I found out that he wanted to have lunch with me. I didn't think I would like Willie because I heard he wasn't doing drugs, but I found that he, like me, had been through a lot. I was so sick of actors, but Willie was different.
We moved in together, and my sobriety began. After I stopped taking drugs, I started to cry—years and years' worth of tears. I couldn't stop. I had night terrors for three years. I woke Willie up every night yelling; he held me while I cried.
I visited the doctor and learned that I had internal dam¬age because of Bud's abuse. A biopsy revealed that I had can¬cer. Much of my cervical tissue would have to be removed, and the doctor doubted that I would be able to have chil¬dren. I cannot explain the rage I felt—Bud was hurting me all over again.
Even though I didn't know God, He began to heal me. Before I fell asleep in the operating room, my doctor leaned over and said, "When you wake up, there won't be one spot in you that that man has touched. You will be clean." When I woke, my body was my own. My doctor will never know what a gift he gave me that day.
One day I heard a guy on the radio who was so compelling I stopped my car to listen to him. Willie and I learned he was pastor of a nearby church, and we decided to check it out.
We arrived a few minutes early to find a bunch of people milling around outside. Nice people...clean...suburban...with names like Bob and Judy. I did not fit in. I was nerv¬ous and needed a cigarette. When everyone started going in, I was told that I had to put my cigarette out. I was angry. I thought, "If I have to quit smoking before I can even be allowed to check God out, I'll never make it." But in I went anyway, and when we left, I felt softer.
I started counseling with a pastor at the church. I dumped my whole story on him, and he told me all about Jesus Christ. One day he told me that Jesus would take all of my pain and throw it into the deepest sea.
Willie was there with me, and we both knelt down. The pastor led us in a prayer, and we repented of our sins and accepted Christ. When we were done praying, the pastor looked up and said, "My dear, you are a virgin in the eyes of the Lord." I felt like one. Willie and I separated bedrooms. Soon after, he asked me to marry him. We were baptized and married on the same day—I was presented to Willie first as his sister in Christ and then as his wife.
In the very beginning, God gave me a promise from Scripture: "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten" (Joel 2:25, NIV). It went deep into my heart.
I became pregnant but lost the baby after two months. But when I had an ultrasound, they discovered I was still preg¬nant. One doctor said maybe it had been twins, and I lost one and kept the other. Months later I delivered a beautiful baby girl named Harleigh Jean.
God has continued to reveal Himself to me in the most personal ways. Through prayer I was able to forgive Bud. Over the phone I led my father to Christ.
My mother was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia and placed in an institution. Afterward, my daughter reminded me of Isaiah 49:15-16: "Can a woman forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you" (NIV).
Tears are that out of which heaven weaves its most brilliant rainbows. According to Psalm 56:8, God has saved in a bottle every tear I have ever shed.
I don't know where you are right now, but I know you have a Father in heaven who loves you and has a plan for you. No matter what you have been through, it was for a purpose. God has not forgotten you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want you to know that God is real and He loves you. He desires to give you a future full of hope, joy, peace, contentment, and He desires you to know Him personally and intimately and to spend eternity with Him in heaven.
Do you want to have a personal relationship with God? Do you want God to give you a life full of hope, and future? He says to those who accept Him as Lord and Saviour in Jeremiah 29:11:
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Do you want to turn away from your life of sin and self reliance and surrender yourself to Him, obey Him, and let Him change you through the power of the Holy Spirit? Do you want to turn away from your life of sin? Do you want to become a new person? If you want to spend eternity in heaven with God the Bible says: you must be born again. (See John 3:7.)
“In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." (John 3:3)
The Bible also says that there is no forgiveness of sin apart from the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross 2,000 years ago.
“In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” (Hebrews 9:22)
If you desire those things mentioned above and answered “yes” to all the questions and desire to accept Jesus Christ by faith into your heart and life as Lord and Saviour, I encourage you to follow the link at the bottom.
Salvation is a gift—it is not a reward; you cannot earn it—because as mentioned above it is done by the work (death) of Jesus Christ on the cross. To accept salvation you must believe—have faith—that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He is Holy and Perfect, and that He died (paid) for your sin, He rose from the dead on the third day and is now sitting at the right hand of God.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
