If you think you would enjoy a book of warm homespun stories, you have chosen the right book. "Musings of Yesteryear" is cleverly but genuinely written tales of the past that will warm your heart and peak your interest. Growing up on a farm in West Texas, moving up into a small town, working his way through high school will remind you perhaps of your own childhood education. Life growing up in the 1930s and 1940s instilled in him a lifelong mantra, "Life is hard by the yard, but by the inch, it's a cinch". By the time he was a teenager, he had a quest to see the world. On his eighteenth birthday, he joined the Navy to do just that. He saw most of the Pacific from Panama to the Philippines and later ending up in the Korean War. Celebrate his life as you read and ponder yours, a journey from obscurity to some professional notoriety. I would have loved to have written this story!
Autorenporträt
Bryce Robertson graduated from Southern Methodist University and Perkins School of Theology. During his career, he served at four different local churches and two different terms as district superintendent. Robertson went on to enjoy success in the oil industry, as a family man, a minister, and more. He is a U.S. Navy veteran and served in the Korean War. He and his wife, Jane, live in retirement at Highland Springs, a senior facility in North Dallas. Bryce Robertson grew up in the 1930s in West Texas, and he wasn't aware of how little he had compared to others. His family was poor, but he thought that was the way everyone lived, and it wasn't until later that he felt ashamed of his upbringing. But as he became older, he realized that his humble beginnings were actually a training ground for success. His pedigree gave him an incentive to try harder and achieve more than his peers. In this memoir, he shares what it was like growing up working in the fields, his early lack of self-esteem, and his growing realization that God places no one below another-and how thinking contrary can take a while to wash out of your system. He also recalls continuing a family legacy of service by joining the Navy in 1948, his experiences during the Korean War, marrying a woman that he first thought would be a short-lived romance, and pursuing a career as an oil man and a minister. Join a man whose focus on hard work, family, and God have taught him that Home Is Where the Heart Is.
