Former President Jimmy Carter is back teaching Sunday school
By JAY REEVES

PLAINS, Ga. (AP) Former President Jimmy Carter taught a Bible lesson on life after death Sunday less than two weeks after breaking his pelvis in a fall.
Using a walker, the 95-year-old Democrat slowly entered the crowded sanctuary at Maranatha Baptist Church in the southwest Georgia town of Plains.
Morning, everybody, he said cheerfully.
With help, Carter sat on a motorized lift chair at the front of the room to teach a 45-minute lesson based on the Old Testament book of Job.
Referring to a cancer diagnosis that resulted in the removal of part of his liver in 2015, Carter said he was is at ease with the idea of dying and believes in life after death.

I dont agree with everything he did, but he is completely decent. He is the only one. Maybe ...oh forget it.
