My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

Seminary's Valued Truths
Twenty years and more have passed since seminary days and for all that was told to us only two ideas have kept their value. They are Don Panella's saying that God was present to Elijah in the gentle breeze rather than in the roaring wind; and the gift that Solomon chose was an understanding heart, the gift we should choose as our own since it best defined was priesthood should be. These remain valued truths.
