Five Least Favorites - Let's peer into my world and see which Presidents, or presidential styles, Bible characters, and foods I least admire. 
Lyndon Johnson – Civil Rights Movement - "Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.” Acts 7:53 KJV The senator was completely puzzled by his words and he asked him to explain. I guess it was his way of saying, “Hey guys, I get it. I know where this faith has come from. I know the meaning of our religion.” To me, it is more the way he lives and the insight into things that inspires me. 
Fun Presidential Facts – Lyndon “LBJ” Johnson - Here are some fun facts and personal opinions about President Lyndon LBJ Johnson 
Lyndon LBJ Johnson: His very tough attitude - "And the LORD said unto Joshua, ‘Fear them not, for I have delivered them into thine hand. There shall not a man of them stand before thee.’” Joshua 10:8 KJV He found the President holding some strings and a frown on his face. Yes, being a Nazarite sounds like a real fun time, especially if you have no say in the matter. So you might see why our Bible character had just a little bit of an attitude. I had an old tough boss. 
List: What similiar trait do I have with Presidents Harding to LBJ - Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and LBJ. These are the twenty-ninth through thirty-sixth Presidents. This is a list of how I think I am like them. 
Lyndon Johnson – The Election of 1968 - "He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.”” Proverbs 6:35 KJV 8-27-34-4-19-10. When lotteries have real high jackpots you probably hear many conversations on how different someone’s life will be if they win that prize. Whatever the reason, the great dream he once claimed had become a nightmare. “Once a slave, always a slave,” is what he thought. 
Lyndon Johnson – The Teacher - "And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.” Exodus 4:15 KJV In order to learn you have to have someone with patience, knowledge, and the unique knack of being able to communicate. The most successful of these don’t take the teacher with them once they learn. No, a lesson learned is a lesson applied.
