College Station, Texas (AP) -- A humble Evangelist Billy Graham accepted the 2006 George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service on Monday.
"To be honest, when you first contacted me about this award I was very reluctant to accept it," Graham said to former President George Bush. "The words 'public service' usually bring to mind someone who has been active in government or politics, or perhaps a business leader or philanthropist. But that has not been my calling." The preacher said his calling has been to help people look beyond this world and onto the next.
