Billy Graham Persuasive Letter
Dear Mr President,
I am reaching out to you with this letter to share some things and great reasons as to why I believe that Rev. Billy Graham deserves a national holiday to honor him and all the great things that he brings to this world.
A true man of God such as Billy Graham an as humble as he is, he never set out to gain all the fame and respect that he has gotten in all the years. All he ever wanted was to be able to preach about God no matter the color or race of a person. Not all agreed with his beliefs and his preaching but one man did, Jimmy Carter had found Billy Graham a venue that he could preach in.
Billy Graham was just an ordinary man from Charlotte, North Carolina who started out on a radio show back in 1949 and from that one show made him a superstar and that is how he began to broadcast his sermons. Graham has been credited for preaching over millions of people, more than anyone else in …show more content…
Graham started the team so that they can help to respond to disaster zones around the world.
I know that I am not the only person that feels this strongly about making a national day for Billy Graham. An if Martin Luther King were alive today he would agree also as Graham has had such an influence on so many lives by bringing God into so many people lives. We need not forget that if it wasn’t for Graham finding God an leading him and other goo hearted white people who stood with and supported King and all the Civil Rights that were brought to country. It may not have ever happened or took longer to get where it is today.
I feel that is why we need a national holiday in honor of a great man who has brought God into so many people’s lives and has had such a great affect to so many an still does to this day and for a long time. So please take into consideration to make this happen as it would be nice before he passes

    Billy Graham: the Pope of Protestant America

    William Franklin Graham Jr. was born on November 7, 1918 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He lived on a small dairy farm with his mother and father, Morrow and William, and his three other siblings. It was a traveling evangelist named Mordecai Ham that first started Graham down his spiritual path of righteousness. Graham had attended spiritual revivals that spoke to the sixteen year old. So after high school, he traveled to Tennessee to attend Bob Jones College but quickly transferred to Florida Bible Institute because of the disconnection he felt from the school. He then joined the Baptist Convention Church and was ordained in 1939. Once Graham graduated from Florida Bible Institute, having earned a bachelor’s degree in Theology, he went to Wheaton College in Illinois to extend his training. Here he met his future wife, Ruth McCue Bell and they would have five children together.…

    “...I will commence this holy day by writing to you. My heart is filled with gratitude to Almighty God for His unspeakable mercies with which He has blessed us in this day, for those He has granted us from the beginning of life, and particularly for those He has vouchsafed us during the past year. What should have become of us without His crowning help and protection? Oh, if our people would only recognise it and cease from vain self-boasting and adulation, how strong would be my belief in final success and happiness to our country! But what a cruel thing is war; to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbours,…

    Martin Luther King's Letter From Birmingham

    In the letter from Birmingham jail, one of Dr. Martin Luther King’s major claim is that the direct action plan needs to take place in Birmingham. In response to the clergymen’s letter, Martin Luther King Jr. in his first 11 paragraphs expresses the importance of the Direct Action Plan while still incarcerated and how he plans to attack the injustices in Birmingham Alabama. The most segregated place in the United States at the time. Before king arrived the African American leader had already negotiated promises that certain racial signs would be taken down. But once he arrived he sadly realized that the promises were not followed through on. Therefore, Dr. King had no choice but to put in motion his direct action plan. He had postponed it often until its’ postponement couldn’t be prevented anymore.…

    James Healy loved God so much that he chose to become a priest regardless the consequences. He had to live as a white to be accepted and change the world (aaregistry.org). Black history month is important because it honors blacks and the way the American people have mistreated them. They were not treated as equals like they should have been and had to work harder to overcome. “These men who were educated and ordained here in the United States opened the door for the rest of us. Because of what they did, we can do what we do,” added Father Taylor, who is pastor of the Church of the Holy Angels in Indianapolis (blackpast.org). Celebrating black history month is a way Americans say that they are sorry for the mistreatment, and they want…

    Final Thought Paper

    Now onto more important things like the recent movie we have been watching and our latest chapter concerning religion. I find it be to fairly interesting that people are so simply chosen to be this significant organizer for such a religiously distinct event for a whole year. I believe that is a unique way of nominating someone so that they may show their worth. Perhaps not someone’s worth, but their responsibility level and connection to God. In a way it’s asking if they, and the people that help them, have what it takes to organize such an event. I think it is a slight burden and a really special honor at the same time and yet I know I would not be able to bring together such an occasion or even organize it properly because of its vast extent. Pulling together a group project and a power point on the other head? Well that is a…
