Showing Original Post only (View all)I'm not a churchy person but I went up to Plains, GA, to see Jimmy Carter preach at his church [View all]
I consider him one of THE BEST presidents we have ever had, and I'll argue anyone into the ground about that.
But aside from politics, here are some details of my visit.
The secret service was there, and frisked us, searched our purposes (lol), men's wallets, etc.
I sat in the front row, and he preached in a very interactive fashion. He asked us to tell where we were from.
He stands very straight and seems very fit.
He wore very sensible clothes, nothing at all flashy or expensive. Very plain man, like the town he is from (Plains, GA). lol
He has a memory that is astounding.
He used no cards to preach.
He is a lib through and through and made mention of some things that ordinary preachers might not, about poverty in this country and the world.
At the end, we were allowed to take 1 photo with him and his wife, if we desired (which everyone visiting did, as everyone visiting was ready with a camera)
His wife looks lovely.
Here's the Maranatha Church website, which has a photo of him preaching:
