Let me just say that I Love Ronald Reagan.
It was for him that my very first vote was cast for
his re-election in 1984. When we moved to Westlake
Village 6 1/2 years ago we started going to his amazing
library in the hills of Simi Valley. We are full of American
pride Members. Well I recently asked my friend Lisa if she
would help me with my resume...because I was going to
work at the Reagan Library. I had been praying about it and
just knew this was the place to be for me.
On Tuesday March 18th I went to the Museum Shop
to leave my Nancy Reagan Red folder holding my resume,
printed on a beautiful shiny paper. The girls working were sweet
and kind, they said they would give it to their Supervisor when she
returned from a meeting. At 7pm that evening I was called and asked
to come for an interview the very next day! So on March 19th, my
50th birthday, I dressed the part and had my interview. I am sure
the fact that I am a beaming Reagan fan pushed me over
the edge ! .
I now have a part time job in the beautiful Museum Shop.
Which is filled with all things Reagan. I have worked 2 days
and absolutely love it. It is an honor and blessing to be part of the
history held in those buildings.
This is my favorite of all the books on Ronald Reagan.
I am currently reading it again. Its talks of his finding his Christian
faith as a young boy of 11. His growing up years through his time
in the White House as President. His faith guided him and our
Country was in Gods loving hands while he was in office.
I wish he was still here.
Page 121 God in Sacramento ( while Reagan was Governor)
The Governor told David Frost that Christ was the historical
figure he most admired, and he believed that lawmakers could learn
from Christ's teachings. "Can you name one problem that would not
be solved if we had simply followed the teachings of the man from
Galilee ?" he asked rhetorically in a September 1967 speech. He said the
answer to "each and every problem" could be found in the "simple words
of Jesus of Nazareth." In a later gubernatorial address , he asserted:
"If we lived by the Golden Rule, there would be no need for other laws."
* GOD and Ronald Reagan a spiritual life by Paul Kengor.
As a boy President Reagan read this little book
filled with Christian insight. Upon finishing it he
said to his Mother Nell, "I want to be like that man,
and I want to be baptized." at age 11.
We were in Maui the summer I was reading the
GOD and Ronald Reagan book and had to go to the
local Barnes & Noble to find this book that changed
the young Reagan's life. Its a must read, and should
be on the required reading list in all Middle Schools !!
Page 26 God and Ronald Reagan Paul Kengor writes:
from That Printer of Udell's -Harold Bell Wright
The Lesson of Udell's is that a Christian must honestly
stand by his convictions, actively helping those in need.
He must boldly follow God's will, and not be silent or
cowardly in attacking evil. He must proselytize and evangelize,
making no excuses. Parking one's Christianity at the door
is simply not what Jesus wants; it is not an option. This
Udell's conveyed, it the only true recipe for betterment-
for this changing world.
I have been having my coffee in my "It Can
Be Done" mug from the library for a few years now.
This probably lead me to pursue this job opportunity.
That and of course lots of prayer.
When you have a hope for your life, pray about it,
quietly listen to God, be patient, God's timing is the perfect
timing, when ready boldly and with the confidence God gives
you....take that red folder and be active to make it come true.
Have a Blessed Day !
Amy
* I get to go to work tomorrow...so happy.
