I didn’t realize so much had been posted about our First President until I went looking.

Enjoy!

230 years later and with 100 times the population, we have the current crop of turkeys running the Country and those waiting in the wings on both sides are probably no better.

A Christian history of George Washington.

“The life of Washington” by Anna C Reed. Can be read online.

I pray that the prayer would be that the character of George Washington and other founding fathers would come back to those serving in Congress.

I chose George Washington as the president I most admire on a recent poll (Zogby). Btw, I have always loved that picture of Washington praying.

**A Christian history of George Washington.**

Some historians say he may have — they don’t quite know for sure — converted to Catholicism.

I’ll have to see if I got that poll too.

I like to ignore them, but once in awhile I fill one out.

Washington did not accept a farthing in compensation for his services during the revolution.

It helps for them to hear a conservative voice once in a while. :)

there was good reason all the brilliant founders looked up to him. He had a spine of steel, wisdom, and good character

Never gonna happen with the current political set-up.
Getting elected is a media beauty contest. Speeches are written for the candidates and he/she who looks the prettiest and can recite the talking points the best gets elected.

It doesn’t matter to me whether he converted to Catholicism or not. He was still a great Christian who understood the potential greatness America could become if we held firm to those Christian ideals.
