Thanks for this tribute to Jimmy Carter, Doug. Pastors can and do have lasting impressions on their flock, and you set a good example for how to serve others. Glad you are being of service to those in Amsterdam who get to hear you preach, and bring your values and observations to them.

I appreciate having so many of his humanitarian accomplishments listed. How many people will remember that he began Habitat for Humanity? Doesn't matter, I suppose, but it's a good thing to know.

I think he helped Habitat establish a reputation but wasn't it Millard Fuller who was the founder? Hard to remember all those years ago.
