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.
Afternoon
Like everyone else I have always been a creature of habit. Since I always will be I'm busy changing the habits. Many of them die hard because they've lived long. I keep walking them along the hallway of the King and at each corner they pick up more golden dust of improvement. I pause for prayer and my habits are touched by these moments of praise. I gather gospel truths and my habits are not unaware. I stop often at a treasure chest filled with God's promises:
But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches (Phillipians 4: 19).
The Holy Spirit is given to those that obey (Acts 5:32).
So also the Lord can rescue you and me from the temptations that surround us (2 Peter 2:9).
I can't believe all this is happening to me. I'm frightened and elated by the change. Born again. Birth is such a raging miracle all bursting with wonder. Always new and challenging and filled with such exultation that all the billions of births before still cannot dull.
And rebirth. God's rebirth that touches the human soul with such great simplicity. All my words pile up, stumbling against each other as I try to make them say just how it is I feel.
Evening
"These Greyhound buses are much nicer since they put wings on them." My fellow passenger had a sense of humor. The hours in flight passed quickly as we discussed jobs, politics, and the state of the world community. We traded problems and he remarked, "I feel like a walking soap opera." His tired eyes wrinkled above a wry smile.
And we found we shared God as a common bulwark. We Christians are not a dying breed.
And what set me off this time in this explosion of introspective thoughts? The using up of my week's quota of "damn's" when I dropped my briefcase on my foot? I'm working at eliminating curses from my vocabulary and finding it a habit that sets too easily on the tip of my tongue.
Oh, Lord, please have more patience with me than I have with myself.

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.

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

“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. ”
Now let me ask the other side of the coin - Do you enjoy visiting enemies? No?
