Lead me home

It seems appropriate that we end the week with something honoring former president Jimmy Carter, who died last week at age 100. In fact, I’m choosing something from his funeral service, held yesterday in National Cathedral.

If any man—especially any president—can be said to be suffused with grace, it would be Carter, who spent his entire adult life in service and was guided at all times by the tenets of his faith. He was an extraordinary man, whose decency is a shining beacon to the world.

So, let’s have “Amazing Grace”, performed by Phyllis Adams, with Leila Bolden on piano, from yesterday’s service.
