Billy Graham Library and more friends from the past

So fun to see another friend formerly from California, Tiffany Greene!

I first met Tiffany when she was a freshman in high school and entered the youth group at Eastside. I proudly watched her grow and get through a gajillion years of college and am so happy to call her friend. We so enjoyed our bit of time catching up with her! What a treat. 

The other part of our day was spent at the Billy Graham Library. 

Live nativity
The Billy Graham home and library is much like a presidential library, telling the story of this man's life.
First we saw his home.
Then, in the barn out back, Bessie the cow begins the story of Billy Graham's life that started right here in Charlotte, NC growing up on a dairy farm.
Making our way into a replica of a revival tent in 1949 Los Angeles. 
Walking through the museum took about 1 1/2hrs and laid out the gospel over and over again.
True to Billy Graham, there was an alter call at the end. The whole experience was great and really fleshed out our timeline point "U.S. Evangelist Billy Graham".
Right now, for the Christmas season, the library is also open in the evening.
They have story time for the kids,

beautiful Christmas trees and lights,
 and a live nativity.
