RUST ON MY SOUL (A Novel) (Published by Bridge Press in 1985 & Distributed Internationally) (A new Series that began on Tues April 13th and will continue every Tuesday the reafter until finished) (Thursday & Sunday will continue to cover a variety of subjects as in the past)
INTRODUCTION (Repeated for those new to the series)
In an old loose leaf notebook, Thomas Kettering wrote when the re was a cry from his heart. He wrote when his inner longing spilled over into the reality of his days. He did not write every day, only when he felt he must. How often he wrote or when is not important. The journey is what counts, for it is a diary about all of us, to all of us. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” and even a stumble is a step.
Evening
I saw my old self in the rearview mirror this afternoon. He got my attention with an angry blast from his horn. The light had changed and I had not charged forward fast enogh.
He expressed his displeasure with a floored accelerator as he roared around me. There's a patience in me that in days past I would not have had. A gentling from my commitment to Christ, and common sense, has taken place. They do go together for love, respect and patient concern make more sense than hate, disrespect and anger.
I am atteuned more to the calendar than the clock tese days. No longer am I so edgy from minjutes lost but more impressed bh thebrooad sweep of eternity that kows no time.
During my prayers I now quite often merely listen. No request. No bargaining. I daily improve my receiving of the Lord's broadcasted messages.
Morning
I am a coach and,m like it or not, the world is my team. I call the plays by my actions and the world decides whether it wants to follow throughl. Millions of players never get my message. But people are watching me and as the old poem goes "I'd rather see a sermon in action than hear one."
Hundreds I may influence second hand. Dozens at work and at home and at play know my play book quite well. We sit on the same bench. We run out onto the same field. I am, indeed, a play caller for them in this game of life and they play callers for me. We win. We lose. We draw.
And God, good and gracious as He is, says, "Hold my play book in hand. Learn its contents. Study its philosophy. See what it has done for other players.

STARTED SUNDAY MARCH 5, 2011 Serialization of another book SIXTY PLUS AND NOT HOLDING
This book, SIXTY PLUS AND NOT HOLDING, is about dealing positively with the challenges of getting older and fosters the belief that “If we would have new knowledge, we must get a world of new questions.” (Susanne K. Langer)
MANY OF THE SUGGESTIONS IN THIS BOOK ARE GOOD FOR IMPROVING ONE’S LIFE AT ANY AGE
“I am come that they (you) may have life and have it to the full. (John 10:10)
Anyone who lives long enough gets older. There are no other options. How we handle the adventure is filled with options.
Keep both eyes on life, and not on the calendar. Admit your age, but don’t admit to the fallacy that you have to act like it. Saying, “I’m 39 and holding,” is more tragic than humorous because it argues that age has no attributes.
V. Neil Wyrick
Below a quote from it…
“Be like the farmer who, when asked what he was building, replied, “if I can rent it, it’s a rustic cottage. If I can’t, it’s a cow shed.”
It’s called attitude and it can make us prematurely old or longer young. For truly, things aren’t just what they are, but rather how we choose to see them.”
To access his other book’s; BOUNDARIES UNLIMITED, RUST ON MY SOUL, POOR RICHARD’S ALMANAC, I AM SIXTY PLUS AND NOT HOLDING, THE ABC’S OF PARENTING AND GRANDPARENTING, LETTERS TO AMERICA…go to Amazon.com (books) and type in Neil Wyrick.

Below is a quote from Thursday Jan 20th Wyrick’s writings blog entitled ANGER VS
“After the old man had departed, God called out to Abraham and asked where the stranger was
God answered “I have suffered him all his eighty years although he dishonors me
God suffers us, endures us! And forgives us and loves us and sets such a perfect example for us

It began Sunday Dec 26, 2010
“I have always been intrigued by a question God put to Adam, “Where are you?” Why did He ask that? What is the meaning behind this? It wasn’t a geographical question, for certainly God knew the answer to that one.

BELOW IS A QUOTE FROM A SERIES “Depression…the Alien Within” on this Wyrick’s Writings …each Thursday
”Sometimes the best thing do, if depression descends on you, is for a little while to try to wipe clean the slate of your worried mind
“Do you enjoy visiting friends? More than likely you’re thinking, Preacher, of course, I do.
Now let me ask the other side of the coin - Do you enjoy visiting enemies? No?
Well, I know you must enjoy visiting at least one enemy because, like myself, you probably visit this one quite often. Unfortunately, we all …visit this enemy…whose name is anger.
Some visit anger seldom. Some on a regular basis. And during those visits, some spew and others stew. ”
