With the passing of George H.W. Bush from this life, we will have the opportunity to be stirred once again by tales from his lengthy journey. We will hear of his early heroism at war. We will be reminded of his storied political career. We will be touched anew by his tender 73-year marriage. We will be told of his mistakes, and of regrets of a kind familiar to us all.
Yet we will likely hear little about his religious faith, and this is unfortunate.
The truth is that his deep sense of God’s calling lay beneath all that he was and all that he gave us.
