Former President Gerald Ford, who became president in 1974 after the r

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

He made a most memorable comment to the senate that struck me as humble and endearing. He said, "I'm a Ford, not a Lincoln..." meaning he wasn't going to compare himself to the great presidents, but he did promise to have brief speeches, with clarity. Ted Kennedy publicly announced before Ford's death that his decision to pardon Nixon was the right one. I think knowing that Ford valued his wife's opinions and did not consort with seers, harlots, interns, chinese fundraisers and the pope made him a blessing to the nation. Betty's open acceptance of abortions were a downside. _________________________

It was a moving prayer, remembering a remarkable president. _________________________ Jeannie ...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....

When a man's critics biggest complaint is that the man was too forgiving, that is a good commentary on the person's charachter. _________________________ I reserve the humble right to be wrong.
