In 1860 he was finally elected President of the United States. Abraham Lincoln didn't park by his setbacks. Some people park by their successes. . . . After a successful event, we're tempted to park and to bask in the glow of achievement. I'll coast for a while.
Some people park by their sorrows.
If I should die and leave you here awhile, Be not like others, sore undone, who keep Long vigil by the silent dust and weep. Those whom we have loved are not in the cemetery. The graves hold only the earthly envelopes in which their personalities dwelt. If we see life as Jesus did, then we do pass through the valley of the shadow of death. We don't park there.
