Q. I have always been afraid of dying and as I get older it is getting worse. What can I do?
A. A philosopher once wrote, “Man is not free in life unless he is free from the fear of death, too.”
Q. Isn’t living harder than it is worth?
A. An old friend told me years ago to remember that life is a grindstone that either grinds a man down or polishes him up. As for myself, I prefer not to forget that it is the rocks in the river that makes the river sing and that one is better off if he or she chooses to use them as stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks.
Q. How can I be a better parent or grandparent? In this busy world I am afraid I am not doing a very good job.
A. Don’t pass on your own fears; they will come up with enough of their own.
Do not bribe for good behavior; you will be teaching them that everything has
a price. If you continue to get mad over little things you will create big problems. Do not lie to them, or for them. Do not try to protect them from the consequences of their actions. Be consistent; to be anything less is to confuse the best of children. If you promise it…do it. Don’t threaten a child with consequences unless you mean it. Always warm them with your love, but don’t smother them
Q. Why don’t people change?
A. Anyone knows life is better when a task that needs to be done doesn’t fall victim to excuses.
Procrastination always makes things easier because tomorrow isn’t here yet.
Q. How does one find peace of mind?
A. It has been forty years since I read it but it’s still true. “To find the peace that passeth understanding we must sometimes have a peace that results from understanding
Q. Can we really learn anything from history or is it just that people refuse to learn?
A. Dr. Charles Beard, the great historian, once wrote, “I have learned from history the following. First, when it gets the darkest, the stars come out. Second, when a bee steals from a flower, it also fertilizes that flower. Third, whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.”
Q. What is courage? I certainly need more of it these days.
A. Remember that Courage is not the absence of fear. Rather, it is the mastery of it. In short, whatever you are afraid of, do it. Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your life carrying that particular fear around in your back pocket.
One Lincoln
historian has suggested that his lifetime dislike of slavery stemmed
from having been, to a large degree, a slave to his father. Whenever
there was any time not needed to work on their own property, his father
would hire him out to a neighbor and keep the money for himself. Every muscle in Abe’s body got a daily working over that might have killed some lesser men. He had no idea what lay beyond time’s horizon, but he definitely knew he did not want it to be farming.

A QUOTE FROM THE BOOK “THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN”
Chapter 1
IN THE BEGINNING
One
day the second child of Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln would become the
President of what many have called, and continue to call, the Promised
Land. However, anyone voicing such a thought on the day of his birth, the twelfth of February 1809, would have been laughed at and told by any backwoods listener that he didn’t have a possum’s chance. Picture
this future president growing up dirt poor with a shirt made of bear
skins, a coonskin hat and dreams of something better than what was
offered. The one-room notched log cabin in Hardin County, Kentucky certainly wasn’t much of a springboard for success.
