What letter did most of the Presidents first names start with? See if you know your Presidential ABC’s.
“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.” I Corinthians 9:24 KJV
The starter gives the command, “On your mark, get set….” Then, “BANG!” the starters’ pistol blast loudly into the air. And the winner is….
Have you ever needed some good advice? Some of the US Presidents share their wisdom through quotes.
“Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon….” Matthew 1:2-4 KJV
Once upon a time there was a boy. I would like to close this story by saying that he lived happily ever after: the end. As time is passed from one generation to another, the twist and turns often take us in different directions.
The Popular Vote is not what actually elects our President. The President is elected through a process we call the Electoral College. So what are the top ten closest Presidential Elections according to the Electoral College Vote.
“And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein….” Acts 14:15 KJV
I just want some of that passion juice. The spark that started their relationship was remembered at its end.

How about some quotes about the Presidency or politics in general by people other than Presidents?
“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.” John 2:4 KJV
It was September 30, 1971 and our beloved Washington Senators played their last game at RFK Stadium. They would move to Arlington, Texas and become the Texas Rangers. This future President would say in his book, “I almost jumped out of my chair. Owning a baseball team would be a dream come true. I was determined to make it happen.”
Man’s best friend also appears to be the President’s best friend. See some of the names and breeds of dogs of some of our Presidents. Do you know which President named his dog Veto? How about Fido?
“And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.” II Samuel 12:17 KJV
She even did the unwomanly thing and let me keep the toilet seat up in the downstairs bathroom. These two sons loved to play tennis at the White House. Instead of being the hands on commander that got him there, he decided to become a stay-in-the-castle type king.
