We left our motel for a short trip to the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC.
We got there before opening and Paul led in a devotion.
This is the main exhibit center for the story of Billy Graham and and a commitment to faith. Both of the homes that Billy lived in as a child are on the property but rain inhibited too much walking.
The family ran a dairy operation.
