Wanting to mail a letter, he asked a young boy where the post office was. When the boy had told him, Dr. Graham thanked him and said, If you ll come to the Baptist Church this evening, you can hear me telling everyone how to get to Heaven. I don t think I ll be there, the boy said. You don t even know your way to the post office. Warm Wishes, Jill Niehaus
