Michael Wear on Jimmy Carter:

President Jimmy Carter basically wrote a book on "quiet service" in his post-presidency without actually writing it. His posture, attitude, and actions are a model for anyone. "Well done, good and faithful servant." Praying for a painless passing into Jesus' waiting arms.

And Lisa Sharon Harper:

Holy God, Please be with #PresidentCarter in his 11th hour. Be w/ him close. Be with his family, friends and colleagues.
In this hour, while he is still with us, we thank him for his service to our nation and to the ones Jesus called “the least of these” throughout the world. 1/ pic.twitter.com/xL7Ai7dvmW

Not answering my question so I’ll rephrase, tough guy. How much deficit spending is enough on a border dispute in the Donbas while ours remains wide open and 70K Americans die of fentanyl every year?

The @HeGetsUs campaign does not want to take a stance on abortion, claiming the issue has proven too divisive and loses sight of Jesus.
