Proverbs 22 (NKJV)
"A merry heart does good, like
medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones."
Are
you constantly trying to make people think "happy?" Are you constantly trying to make people
think "sad?" Do you carry
around your own little rain cloud or is there sunshine in your voice and in
your eyes?
We
all live in the same world but we do not see the same world...or act the same
way in the world...why?
I’ve
never made a fortune, and it’s probably too late now.
But I don’t worry about
that much, I’m happy anyhow.
And as I go along
life’s way, I’m reaping better then I sowed.
I’m drinking from my
saucer, ‘cause my cup has overflowed.
John Paul Moore
What an
attitude to carry with one throughout the day.
I'd like to know John Paul Moore. He helps to fulfill Christ admonition
to "be of good cheer"
"You have
sinned and your sins have gotten you in a mess of troubles.Your sins are
forgiven."
The world is
getting you down? "Be of good cheer.
I have overcome the world."
That despot in
charge in this now time? Where does he
stand against the backdrop of eternity?
"Be of good cheer. You have
chosen me. You have got your ducks in order."
Put positively and
theologically correct, Jesus was definitely a proponent of Positive Thinking.
I am certainly not suggesting that one should smile at a
funeral but I am suggesting that one
shouldn't turn better moments into a funeral.
I am speaking about the power of the Holy Spirit-that allows me to say,
"Lord, with You in my life I am infinitely more than me."
Do
you have a sense of humor? If not, try
to cultivate one. Did Jesus have a sense
of humor? Did Jesus smile? Could Jesus
tell a joke? Some of his parables
certainly have humor in them. Humor
doesn't change things but it allows us to look at them differently. Seen through a multitude of tear drops
everything gets kind of blurry.
BE OF GOOD CHEER!
Desiring God. For all the little tricks of the mind that
can be learned or special prayers to pray or emotional truths enhanced it
always comes down to how much God time we seek and find and are influenced by.
Tagging on to
that great truth so well expressed.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things
were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In
him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
The word made
flesh and dwelling among us. There is a
source of good cheer beyond compare."
John 20:31 (ESV)
"... these are written
so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by
believing you may have life in his name."
And how to become champions in the ring
of life.
“Champions
do not become champions in the ring. They are merely recognized in the ring.
Their beginning happens in their daily routine. you can map out a fight plan or
a life plan. But when the action starts, you’re down to your reflexes. That’s
where your roadwork shows. If you cheated on that in the dark of the morning,
you’re getting found out now under the bright lights.” (Joe Frazier)
Yes, we will
be found out...indeed by ourselves if we did not open wide the doors of our
heart, our mind, our soul to the good cheer and positive peace offered by our
Lord.

CHURCH BOOK CLUBS ARE
USING REV. WYRICK'S 9TH BOOK "The Spiritual Abraham Lincoln."
It is
available on amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and many
other book sites.
A new quote below from
Rev. Wyrick's 9th book THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN (read the rave reviews below the quote)
If
Mary had not instigated another of her famous feuds the assassination might never
have happened, at least at this time in this way.
She had raised the ire of the wife of
Ulysses S. Grant and so Julia Grant refused to attend the play at Ford Theater
in her company.
Had the General been present that evening,
there might have been more guards.
Instead, the Lincoln’s sat alone enjoying
“Our American Cousin,” until John Wilkes Booth put a bullet in his head.
It placed him in a coma and pushed the
nation further toward chaos.
The time was 10:15.
"Positive,
powerful utterances...skillfully enhancing our understanding 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."
Maynard Pittendreigh Presbyterian
minister
"When it comes to invoking religion in
support of any of their decisions, politicians need to sit at the feet of
Abraham Lincoln. Reinhold Niebuhr once called him 'America's greatest
theologian.' Why so great? Because he invariably distinguished between human
works and the works of the Almighty. As Wyrick says, 'He wore
the mantle of humility easily: because he was more impressed with what God was
doing in the world than with what he, president of the United States in the
midst of an awful crisis, was doing. That is why in his last major speech he
distinguished between both human causes in the Civil War and the Almighty's
'own purposes.' Lincoln would have agreed that it is better to leave God-talk
out of politics than to decorate human proposals with divinity. This is a book
for our American time. Through his careful study of Lincoln's career, Wyrick
compels us to remember that piety belongs in politics only when piety
transcends politics."
Dr.
Donald W. Shriver
Emeritus professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York.
Author of An Ethic for Enemies: Forgiveness in Politics
"V. Neil Wyrick's fine work allows the reader to appreciate Abraham
Lincoln's Christian commitment and his prophetic role in American history.
Should have a wide readership."
James
H. Smylie Professor
of Church History (Ret.) Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, Virginia
"Neil
Wyrick's The Spiritual Abraham Lincoln should be read by anyone attempting to understand the man who was probably
the most complex person to ever hold the office of president of the United
States. Dr. Wyrick is intent on demonstrating that the spirituality so often
expressed in Lincoln's writings and speeches was not merely lip service to a
Deity, but rather expressions of a profound faith in a real God. It was this
faith that provided the wisdom, compassion, insight and sometimes steel that
Lincoln would need in full measure as he led the United States through
the Civil War. Dr. Wyrick's clear and unpretentious style of presentation is
very much in keeping with the character ofhis subject, and in so doing, Wyrick
makes his point very well that Lincoln, his beliefs, and the faith that formed
them, are as relevant to a troubled America in 2004 as they were in 1863."
Daniel Allen Butler, author
of "Unsinkable"; The Full Story of the RMS Titanic, The
Lusitania and The Age o f Cunard

WRITINGS
There
is no other organization in the world like the church. It is a breed unto itself. It is a congregation of sinners, not a
country club for saints. To become a
member you have to profess your unworthiness.

How can we keep our faith from being a weak and fruitless thing? How can we not be foolish little men and women groveling in the dark shadows of overeager egos.
Well, first we must do more than just pray. We must believe in our own prayers.

Anxiety

It's
an old joke, I went to the doctor and I said, “Doc, when I do this, it hurts.”
And the doctor said, “Then don't do that.”
++++++++++++++++++
How many things have you been anxious
about that were things which you knew before you got into them were probably
going to create some problems for you?
And if you asked your doctor, or your minister, or common sense and your
God, all of them would have said, “Don’t do that.”

To buy into the
community of accountability we have to realize that like bikers we are divided
into two categories. Those who have fallen and those who will fall for anything. None of us are perfect.

Think

is so much truth in it… every right
implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a
duty

A QUOTE FROM THOUGHTS POSTED ON MY
OTHER BLOG WYRICK'S WRITINGS ENTITLED
Two stores faced each other across a very
busy street. Their owners were in constant competition
with each other. One day, the owner of
one store put out a sign that read – If
you want it, we have it!
Almost immediately the other owner put out a
sign –If we don’t have it, you don’t
need it!
A QUOTE FROM THOUGHTS POSTED ON MY
OTHER BLOG WYRICK'S WRITINGS ENTITLED
WHO ARE
YOU?
NO…WHOSE ARE YOU?
Who are you? Whose are
you?
You influence and are influenced
according to the answer you give.
Are you are the flavor of the month because
you are determined to be like everyone else no matter what? If so, consider being more independent in our
thinking and actions...because God wants you to grow up.
It may be easier being someone's shadow but
wouldn't you really rather be a sun.
QUOTE FROM THOUGHTS POSTED ON WYRICK'S WRITINGS ENTITLED "Who
Are You? Whose Are You?"
This is an old quote, and a romantic one
as well but, nevertheless, can anyone say of you, “I love you not because of who you are,
but because of who I am when I am with you.”
QUOTE FROM THOUGHT PIECE POSTED
ON WYRICK'S WRITINGS ENTITLED
" WHEN A NATION STRAYS TOO FAR FROM BEING MORAL IT IS WELL ON IT'S WAY
TO BECOMING A MESS
James 4:17
To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn’t do it,
to him it is sin.
Someone once said: “A
belief is what you hold, a conviction is what holds you!”
So what holds you,
constructs you, leads you with a push when needed?
Quotes
POSTED ON WYRICK'S WRITING ENTITLED WHO
ARE YOU?
NO…WHOSE ARE YOU?
In a Peanuts
cartoon strip Peppermint Patty is shown talking to Charlie Brown.
“Guess what, Chuck? It’s the first day
of school and I got sent to the principal’s office.
And it’s your fault!”
Charlie Brown responds, “My fault? How
could it be my fault? Why do you say everything is my fault?”
To which she declares, “You’re my
friend, aren’t you, Chuck? You should have been a better influence on me.”
In the comics, it’s funny… but in real life it’s much more
complicated.
