There is no mail delivery in the United States today.

Post offices across the country are closed in honor of former President Jimmy Carter, as we celebrate the life of the100-year-old, at today's funeral services.

People may debate how good a president he was or wasn't, but four years does not describe Carter's entire life.

Many people probably most identify the ex-president with Habitat for Humanity. "Humanitarian', a person involved with or connected to improving people's lives and reduce suffering, might best describe Carter and his wife Roselynn.

The tax-exempt, non-government group began in Georgia in 1968 and now operates in 70 countries, working to build affordable housing for others. As with any agency, Habitat for Humanity is not without scandal or controversary in its more than 50 years of existence; probably due in part to 'people' being involved.

The Carters became involved in 1984 and Jimmy continued his volunteer work into his 90s. Their efforts, under the name 'Carter Work Project' has built nearly 5,000 homes in 14 countries, using over 100,000 volunteers.

For that alone, Jimmy Carter can be remembered as living "a life, well lived"!
