There was a man who was very rich and when he knew it was near time that he would die he negotiated with God that when it happened he would be able to bring all that he could cram into one suitcase.
And so it happened, and there he was standing at the pearly gates with his overly stuffed suitcase by his side. St. Peter walked up to him and looking at the suitcase asked how it was that he had managed to come all this way with “that bundle with a handle.”
“God said I could,” the man explained. “Very unusual said St. Peter but if you have been given special permission then I suppose it is alright. May I see what is inside?”
The man opened his suitcase and there they were, one gold bar after the other.” St. Peter shook his head and said, “This is the wealth you brought from earth? You bought pavement?”

THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Quote from book below
How spiritual was Lincoln? Well, look at how often he worked God into both his conversations and speeches. He was not the only President to mention prayers to the Almighty on a regular basis, but what is important is how comfortable he seemed in doing it. A single reminder of an isolated spiritual moment would make it impossible to build a case for spirituality. With Lincoln this is never a problem, for this giant of a man had a giant on-going sense of soul equal to his physical presence.
“I invite the people of the United States… to invoke the influence of His Holy Spirit…”3 It is well to remember that the man behind this national proclamation also wrote that he had a solemn oath registered in heaven to finish his work. But why not? This, after all, was a man who at Gettysburg, with Generals and other men of good counsel all around, still fell to his knees in prayer, and thereby, found “sweet comfort” 4 creeping into his soul.
A secular humanist will be less than happy with these observations because it reminds us that Abraham Lincoln was a man of moral absolutes. That he knew the difference between right and wrong and agonized over them. Anyone who has a love affair with anarchy has to be unhappy with a president who did not believe that if it feels good then it must be okay.
