Moses 7 is one of the most moving passages in the scriptures – one that makes the clear that the Father participates in the suffering At-one-ment as well.

Sept. 11 always seems to be one of the most beautiful days of the year in New York. Thank you for this memory.

Brigham Young taught, if I recall correctly, that as we progress in the Gospel to become more like Christ we have an increased capacity to feel pleasure and joy.

I wonder if the converse is true also–that we also have an increased capacity to feel sorrow. This image from the Book of Moses, where our Father weeps, has always been powerfully evocative for me. I have the sense that just as Father’s love is different than my love (as strongly and as purely as I can muster), his sorrow and anguish for his children (because of this love?) must be more intense than I can imagine.

I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there with you. Thank you for this post. You are a treasure.
