Billy Graham’s Dating Rules

Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on March 17, 2009

“My parents never once told me to be in at a certain time when I went out on a Friday or Saturday night date. I knew that I had to be up by three in the morning and if I stayed out past midnight I would get only a couple hours of sleep.”

Making Out with Billy Graham

Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on February 4, 2009

As a senior in high school Billy Graham found himself in a dark classroom with a female cast member during an evening rehearsal of a school play. The girl had a reputation for scoring with the boys and, as Graham recounts it, “Before I realized what was happening she was begging me to make love to her.”

But instead of rounding the bases, Graham made like Joseph and ran away.

“It never really seemed right to me to have sex with anybody but the woman I would marry,” he explained, though he also admitted, “My hormones were as active as any other healthy young male’s, and I had fantasized often enough about such a moment.”
