> After wonderful things were said about him, Dr. Graham stepped to the

>
> "I'm reminded today of Albert Einstein, the great physicist who

> Einstein,
> Einstein reached in his vest pocket. He couldn't find his ticket,
> so he
> reached in his trouser pockets.
>
> It wasn't there.He looked in his briefcase but couldn't find it.
> Then he looked in the seat beside him. He still couldn't find it.
>
> "The conductor said, 'Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know

> "Einstein nodded appreciatively. The conductor continued down the

>
> "The conductor rushed back and said, 'Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein,
> don't

>
> Einstein looked at him and said, "Young man, I too, know who I am.
> What I

>
> Having said that Billy Graham continued, "See the suit I'm wearing?
> It's a
> brand new suit. My children, and my grandchildren are telling me
> I've gotten
> a little slovenly in my old age. I used to be a bit more
> fastidious. So I
> went out and bought a new suit for this luncheon and one more
> occasion. You
> know what that occasion is? This is the suit in which I'll be
> buried. But
> when you hear I'm dead, I don't want you to immediately remember
> the suit
> I'm wearing. I want you to remember this:
>
> I not only know who I am. I also know where I'm going." May your
> troubles be
> less, your blessings more, and may nothing but happiness, come
> through your
> door. "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no
> point."
>
> Amen & Peace My Friends
>
> And may each of us have lived our lives so that when our ticket is
> punched
> we don't have to worry about where we are going.
