(I) talk of Christ . . . and (I) write according to (my understanding), that (my) children (and friends) may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins. (2 Nephi 25:26)

A Simply Stunning Post : "Bear My Joy or Let Me Weep Your Tears"
They closed the comments there, but I was struck by this post as well, including these lines:
It seems to me that some willingness to bear each other’s joy as well as our burdens is a necessary lubricant to sociality in the church. If the fact of someone’s pain requires silence about our own joy, the bearing of one another’s burdens becomes grim duty indeed
I currently try to post original thoughts on Fridays, with quotes on Tuesdays. Feel free to comment on new or old posts. Comments on posts over a month old are moderated to avoid spam and will be released whenever I notice them. The comment policy is at the bottom of this page.
