There’s no point in revisiting the country’s challenges during his term; the simple truth is we all need mercy, none more than another.
As it turned out, Jimmy Carter was a far better citizen than president. He dedicated himself to helping others, firmly believed in God, and deeply loved his family despite presidential shortcomings or unachieved goals that count for a lot.
Rest in Peace, President Carter. While I lived through what I considered his lackluster presidency, I always acknowledged his inherent goodness and respected him for it. May he now be face to face with God, reunited with Rosalynn, and forever beyond the trials of this world.
