“…No mortal can cry out, ‘he does not understand my plight for my trials are unique.’ There is nothing outside the scope of the Savior’s experience. As Elder Maxwell observed, ‘None of us can tell Christ anything about depression.’ As a result of his mortal experience, culminating in the Atonement, the Savior knows, understands, and feels every human condition, every human woe, and every human loss. He can comfort as no other. He can lift burdens as no other. He can listen as no other.” (Tad Callister, Infinite Atonement, pp. 207-9)

Food for Thought:
It is interesting that many of these questions can be answered, “I Am”. Which is one of the names of Christ. (See Exodus 3:14) (Susan E. Black - May 1999).

Hey Michele, just wanted you to know that I taught a R.S. lesson on June 10. It was on our scripture library.
I printed off your reading schedule
for reading the B.O.M. in 70 days. I am reading it as are many of the sisters and their children in our ward. Thanks. I needed a push and you gave it to me. Love you dear, and I still think when your hair grows back you should keep it short. your face is to beautiful to have any hair covering it!
