Today, we're talking about the death of former President Jimmy Carter, a rise in homelessness

in 2024, Republicans disagreeing over H-1B visas, and other top news for Monday, December

30th.

Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the poor over today.

Here's the quote of the day. I have one life

and one chance to make a count for something. My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am,

whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.

President Jimmy Carter, 1924 to 2024.

Let's get started with some espresso shots.

Jimmy Carter, 39th president of the United States, died yesterday at 100.

Carter, the longest-lived U.S. president, served a single tumultuous term in the

Oval Office from 1977 to 1981, during which he brokered a peace deal in the Mideast

through the 1978 Camp David Accords, but struggled to combat significant economic issues

domestically. He is perhaps better known for his post-presidency humanitarian work.

Carter's efforts to promote democracy and eradicate disease through the Carter Center

earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

He also famously taught Sunday school and built homes for Habitat for Humanity until 2019 when his health

declined. He passed in his humble Georgia home worth less than the armored Secret Service

vehicles parked outside. Details of President Carter's state funeral, which will last five

days in Washington, D.C., will be announced shortly.

Thank you. The last five days in Washington, D.C., will be announced shortly. Here's the verse to consider when your time on earth draws to a close.

Don't let your heart be troubled.
