life: As we have just debuted previously unpublished photos of Billy Graham, it only makes sense to highlight some of the best photos of him that appeared in LIFE. (here) “I know that soon my life will be over. I thank God for it, and for all He has given me in this life. But I look forward to Heaven. I look forward to the reunion with friends and loved ones who have gone on before. I look forward to Heaven’s freedom from sorrow and pain. I also look forward to serving God in ways we can’t begin to imagine, for the Bible makes it clear that Heaven is not a place of idleness.” Pictured: LIFE’s James Burke captures Graham watching giraffes during his 1960 mission to Africa.
