1. I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold; I’d rather be His than have riches untold; I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands; I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand...Than to be the king of a vast domain Or be held in sin’s dread sway; I’d rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today.

3. Now you have the same song in your head that I do! I went to the Billy Graham Library today, which turned out to be a fairly easy drive under 4 miles from the hotel. Anyone with Fair Oaks or other dairy affiliation will be glad to know the tour started with a talking cow, and what followed was well organized and informative. My favorite exhibits were the hand written notes to Dr. Graham from Richard Nixon, George W. Bush and Louis Zamperini.

At this location I visited the final resting place of Ruth Bell Graham and George Beverly Shea. Makes me want to go through my Mom's old records. Some of the music the "older folks" played in my youth -- Sunday afternoons KBOE Oskaloosa if my memory serves me right -- was not much to my liking at the time, but even then I could appreciate the songs by George Beverly Shea. I never thought I would stand at his grave site!

We took another drive after school hours that was also less than 4 miles in another direction -- we went into South Carolina. We knew it was not far but that was a short trip. We celebrated this entry into a new southern state by stopping for supper at Wisconsin based Culver's. Don't look for anything too profound in there because it is not there. You would be better off humming How Great Thou Art.
