Billy Graham Legend

I have received my third email story in the last two months reporting that Billy Graham at a crusade in New Orleans led the crusade crowd to Bourbon Street on a mobility scooter to preach the gospel.

This is an "urban legend," a fictional story that gets started on the internet and makes the rounds for years. Focus on the Family still has to disclaim a story that's been around for a decade about its efforts to fight a FCC ruling.

To read about the story click here. I encourage all my readers to please check out all stories that come to you by forwarded email. Just google "internet hoaxes" and check out a couple of sites dedicated to researching the truth of such stories. Please do not automatically forward any story without checking into it.
