My retirement has arrived, and I wanted to check out how some of the presidents and Bible characters handled theirs.
Category: John Quincy Adams
Life is full of choices, like what to believe or not to believe. One Presidential story could have a President landing in hot water. Then, again, it just might have been a dream someone came up with.
Here are some fun facts and personal opinions about President John Quincy Adams
“Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.” John 9:23 KJV

“These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.” Numbers 26:58 KJV

“I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.” Psalm 30:1 KJV
Have you ever had one of those cases where you work so hard on something, only to have someone else take credit for your work? The bells of America’s freedom rang loud and nation after nation heard the clang.
“And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Romans 5:3-5 KJV
I was probably just an average track runner, maybe a little above average my senior year. I was definitely not a super star. We are all lucky because Jesus still found a way to be victorious, even with the betrayal of a friend.
