One of my lifetime heroes is Jimmy Carter. His work with the Carter Center was honored well in 2002 when he accepted his peace prize. Lots of folks are saying that Barack Obama does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize......HOWever, in Carter's lecture and acceptance speech for this award he had this to say:
It has become obvious that the Nobel prizes are awarded for two basic purposes: to recognize past accomplishments of the laureates and to inspire future progress for peace and human rights.
No doubt, this award will inspire President Obama and other world leaders to do more, together to achieve successes in the striving for peace and human rights.
Peace on Earth ~ Peace inside your hearts.
With Love and Blessings
