Two shopkeepers were bitter rivals.

        Their stores were directly across the street from each other, and they would spend each day keeping track of each other's business.

         If one got a customer, he would smile in triumph at his rival.

        One night an angel appeared to one of the shopkeepers in a dream and said, "I will give you anything you ask, but whatever you receive, your competitor will receive twice as much.

        Would you be rich? You can be very rich, but he will be twice as wealthy.

        Do you wish to live a long and healthy life? You can, but his life will be longer and healthier. What is your desire?"

        The man frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Here is my request: Strike me blind in one eye!"

        To live a life as an opera singer constantly singing "Me... Me...Me" is a sin and a shame and the emotional trauma it produces so unnecessary.  

      I've known people who have refused to participate in various activities if they could not be number one. 

      Pouted because they were not chosen number one in the choir or first choice in a play OR...

      and so pouted and stayed permanently put out...

      and quit the choir and wouldn't play a lesser part in the play...OR

          Think about it...Not what you can't do but what you can do...

      think about this the next time you sit in your backyard and hear some birds senging their bird songs into the air.

        Among them is one bird who possesses a bird voice better than all the others....yet they all sing...and so it is with all we humans...only one can be the number one singer or baseball player or golfer but thousands who possess the gift of gratitude make themselves content by enjoying life and not putting a number on their back.

QUOTES ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL INSPIRING INFORMATIVE book

"Positive, powerful utterances...skillfully enhancing our unjderstanding and appreciation of Lincoln while revealing the Divine source of his strength."

Lt. Colonel C.A. Olsen (Ret.) Asbury College (Professor Ret.)

 "The Spiritual Abraham Lincoln is an extremely well written book that investigates what might be termed the spiritual side of President Lincoln. It's both scholarly and very readable. I came away impressed at Mr. Wyrick's portrayal of the President and with an altered and enlarged vision of the man:'

William Hoffman, Award winning fiction writer; author of Blood and Guile, and Wild Thorn

"Wyrick has authored a wonderful examination of the spirituality of one of American history's most devoutly religious leaders...a pleasant and readable book that has a rich depth of information."
