“And it shall turn to you for a testimony.” Luke 21:13 KJV
This President understood that the “whys” would find answers only by actions. I’m sure there were many times this Bible character must have asked God, “Why me? I wasn’t real sure what that was, but my wife knew, because she had to go through it, too.
“For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.” Psalm 31:3 KJV
I’m not exactly sure how our country has gotten into the shape it has gotten in. He knows his turn is coming to be a church leader. That’s why God made grandkids.
