Journey into Forever

         I hear it on the news, and I know it is coming.  The end of an era, with the seriously weak condition and possible impending death of Billy Graham at 95.  What person who is informed at all does not know of what he has contributed to the cause of Christ?  Thousands of times he has stood before large groups of people, and with a gift given only by God has told the salvation story in a mesmerizing way.  Hundreds of people came to the altar each time he spoke.  With the annointing of God, Billy Graham never failed to inspire, convict, and lead people to our amazing Lord.  I told a friend yesterday that I wished I was a mouse to be able to view the first time Mr. Graham sees Jesus face to face.  Wow.  Can you imagine?       Many people have left a permanent footprint on this earth by professing and exalting Christ every moment of every day.  Today I'd like to share a story about a man you may not be so familiar with.  His name was Peter Marshall.  He was born in 1902 in Coatb
