DEAR REV. GRAHAM: My sister and I had a falling out almost 30 years ago and we never spoke again. Now, I've learned that she died a few weeks ago, and I feel terrible that I didn't do anything to heal our relationship. I don't have a question, but maybe someone will learn from my mistake. —C.D.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: My fiance admits he drinks too much sometimes but promises he'll stop once we get married. My parents say he's lying and I'm a fool to believe him, but I can't bear the thought of living without him the rest of my life. Who is right? —D.G.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: So far, my husband and I have managed to keep our jobs, but with the economy the way it is we've really cut back on our spending for fear we'll have to live off our savings some day. As part of this, we've almost stopped giving to our church and the charities we've supported. Are we wrong? —N.M.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: Recently, our pastor was preaching about heaven, and he said we would spend our time there worshipping God. I hate to admit this, but that doesn't sound very interesting to me. Most worship is kind of boring to me, frankly. Maybe you can enlighten me. —Z.J.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: My husband admits he's being unfaithful to me but he doesn't care. He says if I don't like it I should leave. I've always felt divorce was wrong in God's eyes, but I feel so humiliated and hurt that I don't know how much more I can take. Please pray for me. —R.S.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: I really like contemporary Christian music, but I spent a couple of weeks with my aunt this summer and she really came down on me and said I shouldn't be listening to such "noise" (I'm 16). I wonder what you think. —K.M.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: Did the miracles in the Bible really happen, or were they just events that people in those days couldn't understand, although today we can explain them because we look at things scientifically? —R.B.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: For many years, I took care of my disabled sister, and while I also had a job, I did almost everything for her. But a few months ago, she died peacefully in her sleep, and now I feel depressed and absolutely useless. How will God get me out of this? —D.L.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: How often should you pray about something that really concerns you? I heard someone say the other day that if you prayed about something more than once it showed a lack of faith on your part, because it meant you weren't sure God had heard your prayer. Is it wrong to pray repeatedly about something? —M.J.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: Our son died from an overdose of antidepressants. He had struggled with depression for years, and maybe it finally got to him (although maybe it was accidental — we'll never know). He was a sincere Christian, but if he did take his life, does it mean he committed the unforgivable sin and lost his salvation? Obviously, this burdens us very much. —E.N.

My Answer/Billy Graham

Oct. 6 at 12:06 a.m.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: My friend says that we're either doing God's will or we aren't doing God's will, and there isn't anything in between. But we're never perfect, are we? So how can we ever say we're doing God's will completely, when we're probably only doing it halfway? —N.M.

My Answer/Billy Graham

Oct. 5 at 12:06 a.m.

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: I suppose you've heard this before from other people, but I don't go to church and don't see any reason to start going. I consider myself a Christian, but I've never gotten much out of church, so why should I bother? —K.D.
