Billy Graham turned 80 today but he's not too excited about it.

"That's not the one I want to celebrate," Graham said. "I want to celebrate my 100th."At the request of his family, the evangelist has decided to spend the day privately with them in Minneapolis rather than accepting other offers.

He has already made plans for Amsterdam 2000, an international evangelism conference in two years in the Netherlands. "I want to hang around so I can help others and steer them and encourage them," he said.
