83° love beautiful day
Met with the Stake High Council to hear Albert report to the High Council. Then to priesthood meeting and Sunday School. I had the class listen to a tape on the 17 points of a true church which is very good.
Now we [have our] (?) Sacrament meeting and listen to Albert and what a great talk he did give. What a great and strong testimony. The Lord can be proud of having sons such as he and Paul. I'm grateful to be part of this great earthly experience.
We had a brunch set out for all the familys (sic) and friends, so it was a joyous occasion.

10-24-82, journal, hand written
Cloudy
We arrived at the Sake Pres. office to hear Paul report to the High Council on his mission. It was very inspirational.
Then he bore his testimony in priesthood and gave his talk in Sacrament. It was one of the finest talks that anyone in that meeting has heard. Sake President Tingy (?) said that is the finest testimony of the Gospel he had hear. Many others made the same comment and I am sure it had an effect on his brothers, uncles, and aunts. We got some good recordings of it.
Family and Friends came over after for cake and ice cream and it was a very pleasant day.
Journal, hand written.

Acknowlegements
Acknowledgements in his book : Afer a Full Life, The Future is Forever. . . Prepare For it
I express gratitude and thanks to those who have been so supportive of me and my efforts to simplify and develop a greater understanding of the void we see beyond this life.
First, for the help I have felt from our Heavenly Father to write on this subject.
To our dear friend, Mary Jean Davis, who so willingly volunteered to take my writings and prepare them for publication, and for her many helpful suggestions.
To Paul C. Jager who did the illustrations which he pieced in between his busy work and study schedules.
Now a tribute to Albert C. Jager, who helped to publish this book- a young man who has never let his own needs interfere with helping others. He has always been there when I needed him.
To all my family for their continued support.

The Flight of Youth, handwritten, not dated
There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain,
But when youth, the dream, depart,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and age better,
Under mandhood's stern reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, wiht flying feet;
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
and we seek for it in vain;
We behold it every where,
On the earth, and in the air,
But it never comes again.
A Fellow I once knew said why worry about the futher (? not future), every one gets along some have (?) (or every one else unreadable in you
When we are young, we have the energy & courage to sung (?) forward, striving to reach our goal in the world. Now is the time to build a strong foundation for your hope & your dreams. Then as you grow your life can be filled with the joys of living rather becoming one continual struggle to put bread in your mouth and clothes on your back.
How many people today are standing still victims of circumstance.
Napolion Hill, in his book think and grow rich gives to (sic) main reasons for failing. Indecision and procrastination. He goes on to say that if you set out for a goal & are willing to sacrifice to attain that goal, you can accomplish anything for life is just what you (unreadable) make it.

Untitled, handwritten, not dated
This page seems to have been torn from a notebook and possibly fits into a journal. It is unfinished as I have it.
Perhaps I should start out with about the time my brother Harry passed away. We worked together & were very close.
Our business was pretty slow & Harry went to help Art (another brother) for a couple weeks. The scaffold gave way on day when he was working on the house & he broke his ankle. His ankle swelled so bad they couldn’t set it right away. He was laid up for about six months & I’m sure the loss of income was rough on him & also his family. Finally they took the cast off, but the pain was still there. He started back to work for me, but you could tell the pain was almost more than he could bear (sic). About a couple of weeks after he started to work, he had a stroke while waiting in like at a wedding reception. He continued to have additional strokes & the 2nd nite(sic) he passed away.
It has been a long time since my Dad passed away & Harry passing really hit me hard. At this same time I had been holding open house on a new home across from the one I finished to move into for a year & one half without any results & I felt things couldn’t get much worse. With the persuading of some of the members in our ward & I think. . .

The Epression of Words - typed, not dated
It is interesting to note the many different ways people in different parts of the United States express themselves.
When I was twelve years old I moved with my family to a little town in Southern Utah called "Alton." The people in Alton seemed to speak a language of their own. For example they would say, "look fer far it is," to indicate distance. This was my first experience with local peculiarities of speech. Rather than trying to accustom myself to the many new forms of expression, I tryed (sic) to point out to some of the younger boys the error in their speech. This young group of boys paid little heed to me, and they were soon making fun of the way I spoke. I was to (sic) young to have learned of the old expression, "When in Rome do as the Romans do," but this little experience taught me to respect the many different ways the English Language is used.
I discovered as I grew older the English language may be used as a guild to follow rather than an iron rule of correct usage. Some of the most interesting speakers I have listened to mispronouce or express words differently to make their speech more effective, thus drawing the interest of the entire group to the speakers train of thought.
The English language is merely a composite group of words to be used by some disgracefully, by others beautifully. The poet puts into a group of words joy or dispair. (sic) He expresses the inner most thoughts of the poor man struggling for an existence. He expresses the desires and ambitions of a young man who goes forth to conquer his share of the world. He puts enchantment in the moon, mystery in the night, and longing in the wind.
There is little doubt as to the importance of the English language in forming the foundation of our very existance.(sic) It seems a shame that all people were not gifted to use this language eloquently to express their thoughts.

Have You Ever Been Served - handwritten, not dated
How many times have you stopped to pick up someone going to the (annex?) or to town. This is a very good deed on your part, but have ever thought of the consequences if you shoudl have an accident.
Cars are thought of as a means of transportation of a medium for pleasure, and yet they can be one of the deadliest weapons used to day (sic) in the hands of a careless or wreckless (sic) driver.
Not long ago some people I know took a trip to Southern Utah and invited a fried of theirs along. It was about dusk, as as they rounded a turn in the road a car speeding in the opposite direction smashed into them. Luckily no one was killed.
A few weeks after the accident these people received a summons to appear in court. You don't have to use your imagination to guess who this was from. Yes, it was this friend. He did win a judgement from quite a few thousand dollars.
You can't stop irresponsible people from driving a car any more than you can stop an unavoidable accident.
This doesn't mean you have to quit driving your car, or stop giving your friends a ride, but it does mean if you want to protect yourself against law suits, you may take a good deal of your life savings. If when a car trys' (sic) to crowd you off the road you don't want to go through the agony of the condemned. Insure your car against public libility (sic), property damage and collision. The few dollars in cost is well worth the relief it gives you to know that someone else is carrying the responsibility.
