Some sad news is that President Jimmy Carter passed away today at the age of 100 years old. Conviction was part of his personality, and his spiritual beliefs motivated him to treat his neighbors with compassion and empathy. With his diligent actions, President Jimmy Carter had a greatly hallowed love of America. Jimmy Carter had a humble personality and fought hard to benefit the lives of the common people. He was born in Georgia and won the Presidency in 1976 (after Watergate and much of the American populace's skepticism of governmental policies during that time). As part of the new Southern cultural revolution, Jimmy used his time as Governor of Georgia to honor civil rights from hiring black state employees and investing in educational programs. He was a spiritual man who wanted to show his compassion to the people as the Lord Jesus Christ shown compassion to the human race. He prayed to God to change the world. Dedicated to humble service, Jimmy Carter diligently worked hard with his Habitat of Humanity organization, expressed profound love of his wife, and being the longest living American President in history. During his Presidency, he had great accomplishments from the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel (in the Camp David Peace Accords), creating the Panama Canal treaty, normalizing relations with China, desiring alternative energy, talked about climate change, promoting conservation, adhering to human rights and civil rights, and inspiring hope in America. President Carter faced issues like the oil prices increasing and the hostage taking by Iran of American people (in the Iranian hostage crisis). Jimmy Carter was President from 1977 to 1981, but his legacy lived on from his Carter Center to his principles that we honor in our generation in 2025. His actions after his Presidency focused on peace in the Middle East (even opposing the occupation of Palestinian people in the West Bank in seeking a 2-state solution among Israel and Palestine living in peace side by side), building houses for people, doing humanitarian work, endorsing democracy in all nations and locations, and seeking justice. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, taught Sunday school, and shown great respect for fellow human beings. President Joe Biden was one of his close friends as then Senator Biden was one of the first political leaders to endorse Jimmy Carter's 1976 Presidential campaign. Living to be 100 is always a blessing. He loved his wife, Rosalynn Carter, with dignity and warmth. Rosalynn Carter (who was Jimmy Carter's greatest advisor on domestic and foreign policy matters) revolutionized First Ladys by publicly talking about the rights of women, mental health, and cancer research. President Jimmy Carter worked to fight for the rights of the working class, people of every color, the poor, and people who love peace.
I send condolences to President Jimmy Carter's family and friends.
