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 thereafter 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 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

Nancy has born a cross around her neck for years, but that’s not the same as standing at the foot of the cross.  However for years I’ve been traveling to cities far and wide while ignoring the trip to Golgotha, no more than a soul-beat away.  In time she’ll join me.  Or maybe not.  There are no guarantees where human freedom lives.  There aren’t ten easy ways to produce Christians, or twenty, or thirty  There is only time and acceptance.

Don’t worry, Nancy, I won’t drag the cross down to breakfast every morning. I won’t run around speaking in tongues at the country club.  I’ll respect your spiritual halfway house.  I’ll pray though Nancy, and not be ashamed of where or when. I won’t dominate every conversation among ourselves or with friends with Jesus talk, but neither will I pass an opportunity by to plant a seed.

Evening 

“This little light of mine, let it shine.  Let it shine.”

How many years ago around a campfire, did I and my friends sing this promise?  It skips along through my mind often these days.

“Tom, what’s happening to you?”  Few actually ask, but I see the questions in the eyes of old friends.  And more and more I share, “I’m not alone anymore.  I don’t feel that vast emptiness that once I did.  Jesus has always been alive and well.  It’s just that now I’m alive and well.  It’s just that now I’m alive and well because I’ve accepted Him.”

Through your love, Christ, I am forced to a new awareness. I can no longer practice compassion just through automatic deductions for the United Fund or welfare through Washington.  I am so entangled in a web of love that ai must take some of that with me to spread around.

To be continued next Tuesday

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 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 Thursday Jan 20th 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.”

***********************************
BELOW IS A QUOTE FROM THE SERIES  “A HEAVENLY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM” …quoted from Sunday Jan 2 2011
(1st in series) (on this Wyrick’s Writing blog)

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.  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.” 

“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.”

More thoughts  guaranteed to make you seem younger and feel younger.

9. Learn how to handle stress

Check to se if your stress has been overlapping into your play time.  People should play cards, tennis or golf or participate in some kind of fun time…without taking all the fun out of their recreation and losing their cool. 

It is far too easy to cut your schedules so tight they you have to rush to relax and end up being worn out from trying not to be worn out.

And if you must worry, put it in your schedule.  Set aside thirty minutes a week to actually write down what it is that’s driving you bananas.

Set a timer and when it goes off, quit worrying.  It really can help you keep your problems in proper perspective.

In other words, get a gratitude attitude.  Make thanksgiving more than a day.  Make it a

way of life.

10.  Give Compliments

Cultivate any urges to congratulate. 

When you feel an attack of praise coming on seek out the object of your affection and praise them to the hilt. 

Don’t squelch or mute your expressions of admiration.  If you feel uncomfortable doing it verbally, write a note. 

But do it! 

It is impossible to praise anyone too much, when the praise is earned.  Remember, even a mosquito get a pat  on the back when he does a good job.

11.  Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.

There is a gentleman who daily walks two miles through our neighborhood with a plastic bag in hand.  And along the way he picks up the paper and cans, etc. that sometimes litter our streets.  No one has asked him to do it.  No one is paying him to do it.  But I’m sure he receives a million dollars worth of satisfaction. 

A woman I know of takes doughnuts and coffee to school crossing guards along with a word of thanks for protecting her children.

            One pundit describes such actions as dropping a pebble into the pool of humanity and watching the positive affect.  Call it divine foolishness, this business of doing good for goodness sake.  Gently disturbing the status quo.  Quite out of focus with selfishness.  I rather think it can be called the Bright Beacon of Betterness, a brilliant unpublished message with headlines for the heart.

12.  Get a good night’s sleep

Without sleep there are tears in the fabric of your being.  How to fall under the spell of Morpheus?  Don’t fight it.  Cooperate your way to blessed resting.  Read a book.  Watch a video, not an action thriller.  Write a letter.  Go outside and get re-acquainted with the reverent quiet of earn morn.

Go to bed at the same time each evening.  Don’t take your briefcase to bed with you.  Meals with carbohydrates are calming.  Repeat the word sleep over and over, one hundred times or more.  If you can find. you have stopped and are still awake, start over again.

If you continue to sleep poorly or almost not at all, take a don’t-feel=guilt-nap during the day, if possible.  Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein failed night dream but napped regularly.

When the first missionaries came to Alberta, Canada, they were savagely opposed by a young chief of the Cree Indians named Maskepetoon.

Then he became a Christian.

Shortly afterwards, a member of the Blackfoot tribe killed Maskepetoon’s father.

Maskepetoon then rode into the village where the murderer lived and demanded that he be brought before him. 

Confronting the guilty man, he said, “You have killed my father, so now you must be my father.  You shall ride my best horse and wear my best clothes.”

In utter amazement and remorse, his enemy exclaimed, “My son, now you have killed me!”

And he meant, of course, that the hate in his own heart had been completely erased by this act of such total love and forgiveness. 

Elizabeth Barrett was a poet who is best

remembered by her married name, Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

But her father had forbidden her to marry Robert Browning.

In fact, when she married Browning, he disowned her and never spoke to her again.

Still, each week for the rest of his life, she wrote him a letter from Italy where she and Robert had gone to live.

Not once did her father reply.

After his death she received in the mail a large box with each one of the unopened letters inside.

They are among the most beautiful letters to be found in classical English literature.

 And perhaps, if her father had read her letters their relationship might have been repaired and restored.  Though that never happened, it did not keep his daughter from weekly expressing her love and forgiveness.

He was a priest in the Philippines, a much loved man of God…but he carried a great burden, a secret sin he had committed in his youth.

He had repented…but he could find no peace, no sense of God’s forgiveness.

In his parish was a woman who deeply loved God and who claimed to have visions in which she spoke with Christ and He with her.

The priest, however, was skeptical.

To test her he said, “The next time you speak with Christ, I want you to ask Him what sin your priest committed while he was in seminary.”

The woman agree.

A few days later she came to the priest and told of the recent conversation she had with Christ, and how she had asked Him what sin her priest had committed those many years before.

“And what did He say?’ the impatient priest asked. “What did He say?”

He said, “I don’t remember.”

You see…what Christ forgives.  He forgets.

Thomas Edison had been steadily working in his lab trying to develop a light bulb. 

For 24 hours straight, he and his team of men had been laboring to finish what they were sure this time would work. 

At the top of a set of stairs was the socket where the light bulb was to be installed. 

It would then flood the entire room with light.

Why he gave the precious object of so many hours of labor to a young member of the team to carry up those stairs will never be known, but he did, and as the lad climbed the stairs…weariness or nerves must have overcome him… and he dropped it.

For 24 more hours the team worked to construct yet another light bulb.

And when it was ready…Edison turned and gave

this second light bulb to the same young man to carry up the stairs.

They stood there clothed in their tattered grey uniforms;  25,000 survivors, many of them truly no more than boys. 

The Civil War, which had killed over 600,000 from both the north and south, was finally over.  But the hate on both sides had not been conquered.

 

So when the victorious General dressed in blue turned to those defeated soldiers and said,

“By the rules of war I can take your horses and you can have a long walk back home,” 

it was to be expected. 

But when he continued, “I’m not going to do that.  You’ll be needing them at plowing time.” 

That was not expected.

No, it wasn’t a love feast. 

But it was a moment of light after so much darkness.  A glimmer of compassion amid so much tragedy.

And… once I had a vision.  Well…as close to a vision as I imagine I will ever have…I saw a bearded man with tears dripping onto his seamless robe.

And I saw a parade of men walking by…a timeless parade for some of the dates I saw read BC and some read AD.  And there were thousands of these dates to accommodate the thousands of wars that had been fought.

 

The men… were dressed in all manner of uniforms…in all manner of designs…and some wore beards and some were clean shaven…and the colors of their skins were all the different shades God had created…

but still they were all the same…

people attempting to destroy other people.

A very sad parade of human behavior. 

And I thought of all the wars where it was not thousands against thousands, but only two; a husband and wife, a parent and child, two church members, an employer and an employee, two former friends now enemies.

And I thought how all wars, large, medium and small…eventually come to an end…

and how sometimes unfortunately the hates continue…

but also how sometimes there is reconciliation.

The special miracle times when hands put down swords and turn them into plowshares…

And a tiny piece of earthly geography takes on a heavenly tinge… because two or more human beings deciding to live tall and sun crowned above the crowd.

We can find glory in the fact that there  are thousands more stories like those I have told this morning…and there will be thousands more in the years to come…Tiny but major moments of miracle dust filling the air and giving us hope,  for life is about momentum …about how we can affect the world in such positive ways when we cease to act like petulant children and give our better selves a chance to shine.

We cannot change the whole world…but we can change our little piece of it.

It takes courage to love and forgive in a world that puts up so many barriers…in a world that still is willing to enslave politically and economically.   

It takes courage to speak up with love and forgiveness when the status quo says we should hate another man or woman…and we are given the reasons we cannot do otherwise… if we are to be accepted ourselves.

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.

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

I just don’t believe man has it in him to be even close to perfect.  Some of my Christian friends look askance at me when I count mh victories over sin in terms of yards and not miles.

“Pieces of heavenly joy for me are a heady experience,” I told one Christian pilgrim who knew me when.

No anxiety?  No anger?  Always perfect peace? I’m one thousand percent better than where I was, but perfection?  I think I’ll pass it by.  It would make me and other people nervous.

“But what would Christ have you do?  My pilgrim argued.  “He would have me weep with Him on the cross.  He would remind me that even saints have suffered.  He would let me exult in the glory of the Resurrection and in the Transfiguration but then come back down to earth to live out my frustrations, no longer alone.

No longer alone. If there is solace for my soul it is that.  Wounds will continue but the Balm of Gilead is now always near.

Evening

“The Lord is my shepherd.”  At last my ears regard it as a shout rather than a whisper, and my soul comes alive at the revelation  It’s nothing new, but it’s new to me.  I am one of His sheep.  His responsibility.  His vocation.  His avocation

I never thought being a sheep would excite me but I have been satisfied with being a jackass long enough.
