Billy was about to speak at a Boston(?) conference, and as he was introduced - with this growing, glowing haggiography of his achivements, awards, travels and so on got increasingly concerned. After the introduction he came on the stage ... and told approximately this story: The other day I took an elevator, and inside it, on the floor, was a dirty, drunk man. Looking up at me there was this flicker of recognition: he said "I know you! You're Billy Graham! ... you changed my life!". That - is what happens when Billy Graham tries to change your life - we're both wasting our time. What you really need is to fix your eyes on Jesus to let him rescue & change you.apocryphal; maybe - but if only all preachers realized its ultimately really not about them.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE, Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International), or anyone else. It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy. Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences or fun.
