Throughout his administration, Abraham Lincoln was a president under fire, especially during the scarring years of the Civil War.

And though he knew he would make errors of office, he resolved never to compromise his integrity.

So strong was this resolve that he once said, "I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

 
I have flown thousands of miles but never in all those journeys have I as a pilot followed another plane. 

I had my own compass (I flew along time ago before GPS and all the other fancy gadgets) and I had my map in my lap and there below was the topography and I knew where I wanted to go. 

Following someone else might not be a good idea.  They might lead me astray.  My conscience, now that was another matter.  It never led me astray.
 
Don’t turn your conscience over to the law of the majority because loud does not necessarily equate with learning.

Conscience 

Conscience. The word is not found in the O.T. The chief passage in the N.T. is Rom. 2:14–15.
 
THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN
“A book superior in style and content)

A  Quote FROM Rev. Wyrick’s 9TH BOOK “THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN”

To mention Christianity today is to create a firestorm of complaint.  “We must assure separation of church and state” is the politically correct outcry.  Unfortunately, most who are straining their vocal chords, have not strained any intellectual efforts to research how the original quote actually reads. 
 
When Thomas Jefferson dipped his pen and began to put down his thoughts, he wrote, “a wall of separation between Church and State.”  Even more interesting is the reason why it was written.  A group of less than joyous Baptists in Connecticut did not want to have their denomination play second fiddle to the Congregationalists.  The Congregationalists?  They would have been perfectly willing to be top dog as the state’s choice.  Episcopalians in Virginia were no less reluctant to create the same problem, if given half a chance.  Thomas Jefferson stuck by his guns in this state, as well.
 
Separation of church and state?  But should that mean separation of God and man?

QUOTES FROM
SIXTY PLUS AND NOT HOLDING
 
(Serialization of One of Neil’s book that can be found on his other blog Wyrick’s Writings)

I almost drowned once. It is a terrifying experience. One gets very used to breathing. I had taught swimming in summer camp. Passed the Red Cross Life Saving course. Water-skied 50 miles an hour. Now I found I could not even stand to have the water flow over my face when I took a shower. 

So I had two choices. Give in to my fear or fight it.

I fought it. Stuck my head in a few inches of water in a basin for five seconds, then ten and finally a minute. I kept working on my private demon until one day, six month later, I was behind a ski boat with ski rope in hand. I was filled with panic, not just fear. I skied anyway. I fell and did not drown. I began to overcome the anxiety.

I refused to have a love affair with fear that could have become a permanent downer. Did I completely conquer my fear? No. Was I better off than if I had given in? Definitely.

----- ------ ---------- A number of years ago two scientists conducted an experiment with a sheep. They tied a piece of wire around the leg of a normal sheep in the midst of other sheep. Then at regular intervals they would send an electric shock through the wire making the leg twitch. The sheep’s behavior remained normal. He ate well, slept well, acted quite nicely, twitching appendage and all. Then the scientists added another factor.

They began to ring a bell ten seconds before they administered the shock. Within a very short period of time the sheep began to demonstrate all the symptoms of severe anxiety neurosis. His eating habits went from bad to worse. He couldn't sleep. He took to avoiding the other sheep. He became highly nervous and agitated.

It is the same with all the people who every day promise themselves it is going to be a bad day, and then work very hard at making their prophecy come true.

Indeed, at any gathering, folk would more often than not share what they considered medical tidbits: steal a dishrag - kill a wart, skip a row when you plant and there’ll be a death in the family or if a horse breathes on your child it’ll get whooping cough. 
 
As late as 1859, if a doctor-to-be attended medical school at all, he had covered the entire store of existing medical lore in one year.
