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.
It speaks well of Jesus and of his parents that when he was lost they did not assume he would be at the temple. He range of interests was presumed wider and perhaps it was only in desperation that they went there.
