Not too long ago I came across some of my diary entries from when I was 21–a senior in college. After reading them again, I decided they might be useful for my children–or maybe to others as well. So I typed them up and added a prologue and some advice. My children have already received a copy. Here I make them available to family.

Thanks
Wow! This must have taken a long time. Thanks for sharing.
I recognize many of the sentences in your diary, Dad. I didn’t realize that so much of what you have taught us kids has stemmed from this period in your life.
You mention Dr. Sanderson in your diaries, and you quote him on several occasions. Did Dr. Krabbendam also have some influence on your thoughts during this time? I noticed that you wrote that God is 100% sovereign while man is at the same time 100% responsible. This language sounds Krabbendamian to me.
Thanks Dad! It is helpful and encouraging to see how others (and in this instance, you) have struggled with similar things.
Yes, I was also influenced by Henry Krabbendam.
I added some advice.
