Crater was a man raised on old-time religion, unlike so many of today's mega church worshipers.

Jimmy Carter was the Governor of Georgia from 1971-1975 before running for President. He was a State Senator prior to being elected Governor.

Carter was an example of a christian who walked the walk, kept his religion to himself and didn’t cram it down the throats of others. He was a true humanitarian and kept religion out of politics as it should be.

I was taking a politacal course at a state college thanks to the G I bill, when he was running for President. I started listening to his candidicy and voted for a democrat for the first time. I woke up when Nixon did his thing and am a proud Dem now. Jimmy is at the least the best former prdesident in this natioins history, and unapreciated president. as usual, he in herited a mess and worked hard to inprove the country, and the world, as you mentioned. One of my heros, just sad I never met him in person.

I voted for him. So sad that hostages were not released till he left office.

I have been praying since I heard the news about an hour ago. I want to spread more light, hope and compassion than I have in the past. President Carter understood the resistance to these positive forces. But he walked strong in that light anyway. May I do the same.
