Ronald Reagan

So as I was pursing the Internet (which I seem to do more and more these days looking for truth on regarding our government and country) I happened upon this JEWEL of a site.

Here they had posted some of the famous speeches of President Ronald Reagan.  Incredible treasures that I just had to share.  He was an amazing President who I voted for then and still like today.

He had a praying mother, Nelle Wilson Reagan and came from simple beginnings.  I have often noted that he rose to his destiny when all of his childhood family had moved on.  Think about it, he was 70 years old when he was elected for his first term.  My father died at 68 and my mother at 70 and here was Reagan stepping into his greatest years.  I believe his destiny was the result of his praying mother.  Reagan stated of his mother, "I know that she planted that faith very deeply in me."

When asked about Nelle's influence with the church community one person responded that, "Many of us believed Nelle Reagan had the gift to heal," and fellow churchgoer Mildred Neer recalled Reagan's strong passion for prayer:


“ When our little daughter was about four years old, she developed what seemed to be tonsillitis... My husband said to me, 'Why don't you go to church? It will do you good.' [The pastor] spoke on how we as Christians should accept death... When the service was dismissed, everybody had left except for Mrs. Reagan who was on the platform gathering up the music that the choir members had left. I thought, 'If only I could talk to Mrs. Reagan,' and went up to her. She said, 'Let's get down on our knees and pray about it.' She made a wonderful prayer, [and] Mrs. Reagan spent the whole afternoon in prayer with us... She left about six o'clock. Moments later, the abscess [on our daughter's neck] burst. God had heard Nelle Reagan's prayer and answered it."
What a legacy SHE was and so it is not surprising that her son would be allowed such greatness.
