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.

Overstating Adam's Sin
We overstate Adam's sin, whatever it might be, since there is nothing so great it can exceed God's goodness and willingness, and even eagerness, to forgive. Understanding and care are the nature of God. Being offended and vindictive are the lesser aspects of our own.
