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.

Beyond The Practical
The practical intrudes. It seems so real and promises so much. It appears reasonable, even if reason may not be what we need. Its oughts and shoulds look just right, so appealing but sometimes so silly as well. There is reason beyond reason, and beyond the practical is what comes of faith.
