What Is Gleanings?

At Christianity Today, we’re constantly tracking important developments in the church and the world. Often we use our network of reporters around the world (and for that, visit our main site). But we also monitor other news outlets, bloggers, newsmakers’ social media feeds, and countless other information streams. Gleanings compiles the most urgent and interesting items we’ve found, explains why you need to know about them, and gives you the background you need to understand them. It’s our snapshot of what God is doing in the world, hour by hour.

Billy Graham on Lady Bird Johnson

"She was one of the greatest women I have ever known."

Ted Olsen

From a press release:

"Lady Bird Johnson was a wonderful woman devoted to her husband, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was one of the greatest women I have ever known.

"During my wife''s long illness, Lady Bird would often phone her, and Ruth was always encouraged by those calls.

''Last Monday I spoke with Lady Bird Johnson and her family, who were at her bedside. Lynda and Luci were full of love for their mother, and conscious of the coming reality of heaven for her.

"Lady Bird''s family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hold each one of them with deep personal affection.''
