His health keeps him home most of the time. He and his wife of 70-plus years, Rosalynn, have dedicated their lives to advancing the work of the Carter Center in Atlanta and, of course, in the former president&#8217;s efforts to build homes for Americans in need for Habitat for Humanity.<\/p>\n<p>Biden was a young U.S. senator in 1976 when he endorsed the former Georgia governor&#8217;s bid for the presidency. That endorsement forged a friendship that has lasted all these decades.<\/p>\n<p>At so many levels, President Carter has shown us how to serve others. The former president doesn&#8217;t appear intent on forging his own historical niche, but his commitment to serving others is worthy of high honor.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By John Kanelis \/ johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com President Biden ventured today to Georgia to do two things.
