RUST ON MY SOUL (A Novel) (Published by Bridge Press in 1985 & Distributed Internationally)
INTRODUCTION (Repeated for those new to the series)
In
an old loose leaf notebook, Thomas Kettering wrote when there 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.
Morning
Nothing
has changed. Everything has changed. A heavenly hurrah has finally
beaten through to me, Thomas Kettering, created not just a muddied worm
to wiggle, or chuckleheaded cow to munch, or paunchy pig to snort, but
rather as a man to image the King of kings.
Afternoon
Nancy
and I had an argument this morning. We almost got up a good head of
steam and went at it with one barrel. We never could get both barrels
going. We wind down and shut up the show earlier these days.
Morning
A
prayer today, Lord. Please don't forget that, for all my kneeling and
needing, I'm programmed by my past. The old me, the me that was, still
is. It does not easily die. But the new born is thinking birth and
that’s a good sign.
Evening
I've
always been one to flex my muscles and push against problems. I'm
slowly seeing that as a Christian, prayer and push are not enough if I
do not let go and let God.
Forgive
me, Lord, when I try to debate my way to a better life. I don't always
remember that once I have done all I can I must then sit back and let
you do all you will.
Morning
Am I on just another binge? A Christian binge, and when I am sated with the church will I have no more appetite for things holy?
I remember when I devoured so much honey
that
I din't even like it anymore. And I used to work every crossword puzzle
I could get my hands on till now I don't even want to look at them.
Is this a spiritual ego trip?
Is
there lurking somewhere in my sub-conscience a desire to receive a
Golden Glove award-CHRISTIAN FIGHTER OF THE MONTH? Winner against the
forces of darkness and evil. But I'm the only fighter in this ring.

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.”

Below is a quote from Wyrick’s Writings blog entitled ANGER VS. PATIENCE
“After
the old man had departed, God called out to Abraham and asked where the
stranger was. Abraham replied, “I sent him on his way because he did
not worship you.”
God answered “I have suffered him all his eighty years although he dishonors me. Could you not endure for just one night?”
God suffers us, endures us! And forgives us and loves us and sets such a perfect example for us.”

IS A QUOTE FROM THE SERIES “A HEAVENLY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM” …(1st in series) (on this Wyrick’s Writing blog)
“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 …
”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. To give such
thoughts some muted silence. Seek an emotional whiteout. Just let the
soft breeze of nothingness blow for a while. And then, read John 14:27
and hear Jesus saying, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto
you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
