George Beverly Shea turns 100 (OneNewsNow.com)

On the ladder of life, George Beverly Shea says he's almost reached the 100th rung.

The long-time Christian singer says he had a wonderful career singing at Billy Graham crusades. "I overwork the word 'privilege,' but I can't find anything better," he tells Associated Press. "It's been a great privilege to be associated with Billy and his son and his whole organization."

He and Rev. Billy Graham have been friends for almost 70 years. "He's been a wonderful man to be with all these years," Shea shares. "I met him when he was 21 and I was 31. I was an announcer and singer at a radio station in Chicago."

When asked if there has been any secret to his long life, he recited a hymn about God's love and then broke into song.

My brother-in-law does work at the Billy Graham Training Center, and apparently Mr. Shea has become a big iPod user!

Congratulations to a great cantor for the Lord!
