My Letter to President Ronald Reagan

Dear President Ronald Reagan,

Today, July 22, 2010, I finished the book written by Paul Kengor, “God and Ronald Reagan a Spiritual Life” and I wanted to write you to say, ‘Well done good and Faithful Servant!’

What an amazing Man of God you were and your legacy lives in many, including me. Your love of fulfilling God’s purpose and plan for your life was remarkable! As I believe you did not believe in coincidences, nor do I. Like you, the Bible is the book I live by with the One Year Bible as my daily devotional. With this knowledge, is there any coincidence that the book ended in the ‘Afterword’ of telling about your Death and Funeral. Your Pastor Reverend Michael Wenning read one of your favorites Biblical verses, 2 Chronicles 7:14-

Then if my people who are called by my name will
humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and
will forgive their sins and restore their land.


Again, not believing in coincidences of the timing of me being led to read this book, this verse is ‘today’ in the One Year Bible.

I must say, when you were President, I was graduating High School and am embarrassed to say, I had no real knowledge of what a great country we get to live in with Freedom being taken for granted-me at the top of the list. I had a relationship with God, but honestly no true understanding of what ‘freedom to believe’ really meant.

At that point, I thought I was going to become a Fleight Attendant until my career test said, ‘Funeral Home Embalmer.’ Honest. I answered the test with every bit of truth to who I am, and did not understand why and how I was supposed to talk and work with ‘dead’ people.

In 2006, a prophetic word was given to me by a trustworthy person. It said, I would use my influential persuasive ability with something I was passionate about in a Government position. I felt then as I do now, this would involve the One Year Bible. Since then, there have been many more 'words' given to me including 'You will change the world, and you have a 'very High Calling' on your life.

In 2007, God gave me some amazing visions using this Bible as the ‘source’ somewhat like a textbook of seeking your purpose and plan with your God given gifts to understand who and what you are created to do. I could see the Bible as a textbook in public schools, given to people bound by ‘inner chains’ and in the end those throughout the world reading, receiving, living the word of God in their everyday lives to experience the ultimate ‘gift of freedom’ Jesus died to give us.

Well, until today, I honestly did not have much clarity about how I could be used a vessel for God in any government position mostly because my relationship with God is number ONE. I understand more than ever my God given gift is I am a ‘true’ Chaplain. I love to seek those who are spiritually dead and help to restore them back to life! The transformation process God has been doing in my heart to wake in the morning to ask God how I can serve Him today- not me- has taken over. Still until today, not feeling completely ‘free’ to walk out in any work related area and give God the glory for all for everything I am and have, until today.

In closing, I Thank You again for your Faith and Trust in God’s will for your Life. For me, your legacy has brought new meaning to words you loved, I believe now more than ever:

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may praise your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
