"
ONE LINERS FOR YOUR SOUL" & ONE A DAY
Take these two seeds of thought
below and turn THEM into a wisdom tree.
ATTICS
I
have not always lived in these southern climes.
I was born in Virginia
where we had attics and I thought them a treasure trove, filled with all kind
of wonderful things of our families past.
But like most attics there were things
saved that could best have been thrown away.
And I got to thinking. The same thing is true of the attic of our
minds.
Indeed, got any old hates lying around
rotting in the shadows? Got any old
jealousies all shined and bright and deadly?
Got any sins you have never brought out into the bright light of God’s
forgiveness
BELOW IS...YOUR
'ONE A DAY' for Today

The man gave his wife a birthday present…a scholarship to a Christian College but not for her…rather for a poor student who could not afford it.
A woman gave the gift of a new shirt and tie to her husband but not for him…instead for a small boy in an orphanage who could not afford it.
Is it almost birthday time for someone around your house. Have you been discussing a birthday present?
Give a gift to someone in need in the name of someone you love? And let them know what you did? What will be…would be…the response? The answer to that question is in itself monumental…now isn’t it?
How does that scripture read “Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren…”

BELOW ARE SOME OF THE RAVE REVIEWS ABOUT
"THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN."
++++++++++++++++
"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 Lincolnshould 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 fullmeasure 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."

of "Unsinkable"; The Full
Story of the RMS Titanic, The
Lusitania and The Age o f
Cunard
