Last week I spent 3 days in Austin. Our state convention, along with the good folks at Lifeway, were putting on a series of conferences for ministers of education. It was one of the better conferences I have been to. We were given a ton of resources, along with several good ideas. It was inspiring and refreshing, and you can't ask for more than that.On the way back home I stopped by the LBJ Presidential Library. I'm not a huge fan of his Great Society, but I am a fan of history. Johnson served during some of our nation's most turbulent years, and his presidency was a consequential one.
Maybe it's just how I'm wired, but I don't know why anyone would want to be president. Nothing about it appeals to me. Regardless of party or platform, a president can always depend on criticism, cynicism, and lots of second-guessing. These men deserve our respect, and our prayers.
