The packing shed, which does not have walls on the north and south sides, also had porous food contact surfaces such as wood and carpeting on the pack line, Waters reported, making it virtually impossible for the surfaces to be sanitized.
Water lines to the pack shed were also problematic.
"The processing water line is not constructed in such a manner as to prevent food contamination … while cantaloupes were being processed, I observed the pipe used to supply well water into the dump tank and spray nozzles over the conveyer belt were leaking and appeared to have an accumulation of rust. This water comes into direct contact with the cantaloupe as they are traveling along the processing line," the report states.
The FDA inspector also found Chamberlain and his employees were not monitoring the effective levels of the chlorine sanitizer in the water in the concrete dump tank of the cantaloupe processing line. Chamberlain could not provide any records regarding the water sanitizing process.
Reports from Kentucky and Indiana health departments regarding salmonella illnesses in people who had eaten cantaloupe from the farm apparently spurred the FDA's inspection of Chamberlain Farms. Kentucky health officials went public with information Aug. 17 when they announced two people were dead from salmonella infections linked to cantaloupes from a farm in southwestern Indiana.

About Fast Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) Check Payments
Last Updated: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 > Related Articles
Questions about Electronic Fund Transfers answered.
When you provide a check as payment, you authorize Cox to make a one time electronic fund transfer (EFT) from your account, using the information from your check. An EFT may debit your account as soon as the same day you make your payment and you will not receive your check back from your financial institution.
Electronic Fund Transfer is the term used to refer to the process in which we instruct your financial institution to perform a one-time transfer of funds from your bank account to Cox Communications.
No. An accounts receivable entry is a form of electronic funds transfer or electronic payment made using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network. You are not making payment by negotiating a check but instead are presenting the check to provide bank information for collection.
No. This is not a recurring transaction. You will still need to continue to pay your bill each month. Each electronic funds transfer will occur one time only for the amount of the check that you mail for that month's payment
Yes. You will need to continue to pay your bill each month. Each electronic funds transfer will occur one time only for the amount of the check that was sent in for payment.
No. The information contained on that check will be used only one time for bill payment and will not be used for any other purpose.
The electronic fund transfer will appear on the account statement that you receive from your financial institution. However, the transfer may be in a different place on your statement than the place where your checks normally appear. For example, it may appear under other withdrawals or other transactions. The transaction detail on your bank statement will include payee name Cox Communications, your original check number and the amount of the payment. You will not receive your original check back from your financial institution
High-resolution image technology is used to create a copy of both the front and back of your check. This copy will be stored electronically for two years. The information contained on that check will be electronically archived for an additional five years. For your protection your original check will be destroyed.
For the protection of the customer, the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) regulations require that the original check be destroyed. This prevents it from being presented for payment more than once.
The check that you sent to us will appear on your bank statement as an electronic fund transfer. This transfer may be in a different place on your statement than the place where your checks normally appear. For example, it may appear under other withdrawals, or other transactions. The transaction detail on your bank statement will include payee name Cox Communications, your original check number and the amount of the payment. You will not receive your original check back from your financial institution, but you can compare the amount in your check register to the transaction on your statement.
Because we will be able to view a copy of the check, you will no longer be required to provide us with a copy of your check for payment research. If you are requesting a copy of your check for reasons other than payment research, please contact your financial institution.
There will be no change to the amount of time it takes for your payment to post to your Cox Communications account.
Yes. The electronic funds transfer from your account will usually occur within 24 hours after your payment is received by our payment processing center.
By sending us a signed check for your payment you are giving us your approval to process that one payment as an electronic funds transfer. You do not need to take any additional action to indicate your approval.
Yes. Converting checks to electronic funds transfers is in accordance with the NACHA guidelines. Cox Communications has followed all requirements as set forth by NACHA for this process.
Yes. This process is well established and is being utilized by most companies today.
You should contact your financial institution if the amount debited from your bank account is different from the amount that the check was written for.
By sending your completed, signed check to us as payment on your account, you authorize us to use the account information contained on your check to make an electronic fund transfer from your bank account for the same amount as the check. In the case of an unauthorized or improper debit, you should contact your bank.
An unauthorized debit is defined as: An electronic fund transfer from a customer's account initiated by either a company or person who is not authorized by the customer to initiate the transfer.
- An electronic funds transfer in an amount greater than that authorized by the consumer or that results in a debit to the consumer's account earlier than authorized by the consumer.
- An unauthorized debit does not include an electronic fund transfer initiated with fraudulent intent by the consumer or any person acting in concert with the consumer.
In the case of an unauthorized or improper debit, the consumer's financial institution will advise the customer of their rights under the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) regulations and assist them in disputing the transaction. As a part of this process the consumer's financial institution may require that (Billing Institution's) originating bank provide a copy of the check or source document. This request is handled between the financial institutions.
No. Due to changes in banking regulations, as of March 18, 2011, the Account Receivable Conversion (ARC) Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) opt out service is no longer required. Therefore, when you submit a check as a form of payment to Cox, the EFT process applies.

The Top 10 Folding Chairs
By Laura Regensdorf
The Experts
Suzanne Kasler
The Atlanta decorator infuses her interiors with European glamour and Southern grace. She creates furniture for Hickory Chair, lighting for Visual Comfort & Co., and fabrics for Lee Jofa. suzannekasler.com
Alex Papachristidis
Known for his exuberant style, the New York designer crafts spaces ranging from lushly bohemian to urban-chic. His first book, The Age of Elegance, is due this fall. alex- papachristidis.com
Folding Chair by Mogens Koch for Rud. Rasmussen
"A beautiful chair—every detail has been thought out," says Kasler, admiring the canvas seat and back and the leather armrests on the 1932 design. "Even the brass hardware looks like jewelry," she remarks. The 34" h. x 22" w. x 22" d. seat could work in an informal dining room or on a porch, she suggests. The frame is offered in oil-treated beech, shown, or mahogany.
$750; carlhansen.com
Orson Director Chair by Gordon Guillaumier from DDC
With a sturdy teak frame and all-weather mesh fabric lining the side panels and seat, this one is great for outdoors, says Papachristidis. "It's a smart interpretation of a campaign chair." The 33" h. x 23" w. x 20" d. piece is comfortable but not overscale. "It would be perfect around a dining table or game table," he suggests. The fabric comes in two colors: gray, shown, and sand.
$1,580; ddcnyc.com
Pippa Folding Armchair by Rena Dumas for Hermès
Fashioned in ebony-stained maple with rich chocolate leather, this has a thronelike quality, says Papachristidis: "It's a chair for a captain of industry." At 34" h. x 32" w. x 16" d., it would make a commanding addition to a home office or library. "The craftsmanship, down to the nickel-plated brass hardware, is top-notch," he adds. Versions in teak and pearwood are also available.
$11,600; hermes.com
Curule Chair by Pierre Paulin for Ligne Roset
This 1980s design takes its X form and name from a Roman folding chair, which has been reimagined in black-stained beech with a leather backrest. "The curves in the wood are very sculptural," says Kasler, noting the meticulous construction of the 27" h. x 22" w. x 14" d. piece. "It's small but has a strong presence." She sees a pair flanking a dining room console. A natural beech version is also offered.
$1,330; ligne-roset-usa.com
Skip Chair by Bertoli & Pajetta for Calligaris
"Very handsome and tailored," says Kasler of this clean-lined chair. The combination of metal and wood is striking, she adds. Aluminum is used for the back of the frame and foot rail, and the front of the frame and seat are made of beech (shown in a wenge finish). She imagines the 32" h. x 19" w. x 20" d. chair in a sleek, contemporary space. It folds to a slim 2" for convenient storage.
$408 for a set of two; calligaris.com
Piana Folding Chair by Sir David Chipperfield for Alessi
Kasler likes this updated take on a familiar folding-chair design: "It's streamlined and contemporary, so it really works for today." Made of fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene, the 31" h. x 18" w. x 19" d. seat is lightweight and comes in six hues, including green. "This is a fantastic way to mix in color without a huge commitment," she says. It's also suitable for outdoor use.
$225; dwr.com
Lithgo Folding Chair by Munder-Skiles
Alex Papachristidis raves about this iron chair, with its trellis pattern and dark-rust-color finish: "It has a vintage look but feels fresh and sophisticated." And at 33" h. x 16" w. x 19" d., the proportions, he observes, are just right. He envisions it in a garden or rustic interior. "I'd use a set topped with cushions around a breakfast table," he says. "This is too pretty to fold up and put away."
$550; munder-skiles.com
Stitch Chair by Adam Goodrum for Cappellini
Made of laser-cut aluminum, this petite chair earns Suzanne Kasler's praise. Measuring 31" h. x 17" w. x 19" d., it cleverly folds along the middle to a superthin 1". "I love the industrial feel of the exposed seams and rivets," she says. Seven lacquer finishes are available, including red. "I picture this in a modern apartment, where it would provide a splash of color," she adds. "It's an art piece."
$839; www.cappellini.it
Bistro Chair by Fermob
To Papachristidis, this traditional French park chair, which dates from the late 19th century, is a perennial favorite. "It's perfect for dinner parties in the garden and is easy to move around," he says. The 32" h. x 15" w. x 17" d. seat is made of durable powder-coated steel and comes in 23 colors, including lemon, shown. "I usually go for classic green, but these bright colors give it a fun twist," he adds.
$99; fermobusa.com
Beverly Armchair by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia
The torqued frame in brushed aluminum catches Papachristidis's eye: "It has a ribbon effect, which softens the chair and makes it more sensuous." The seat and armrests, available in a range of materials, have nicely stitched detailing, he notes, and the scale is generous, at 38" h. x 27" w. x 32" d. "This would be chic in an urban loft, juxtaposed with antiques," he says.

Mortgage rates are at historic lows as real estate prices remain lower than they have been in over a decade, so buying a home should be easy, right? Not so. For those of you that have attempted to get a mortgage, you know it is anything, but easy to pass the evaluation process. Lending institutions are taking no chances and are only approving loans for people that have excellent credit.
A credit score at 680 was once considered an A rating; not any more. Banks are now looking to approve loans for individuals with at least a 740 average credit score. And, one late bill can lower your score by 40 points. Ouch! So, how do we get our credit score up and what steps should we take to repair our credit?
I spoke with one of the leaders in the credit repair industry about this topic Elizabeth Karwowski, the founder of a company called, Get Credit Healthy, Inc., a consumer advocate organization which helps individuals get back on the right path to great credit health. Her firm deals with the credit agencies in finding items that are downgrading your credit while dealing with disputes.
Elizabeth (pictured here) shares with us the seven tips to improve our credit scores:
Pay Your Bills on time, every time
35% of your credit score is determined by how you pay your bills. Responsible borrowers who make their payments when contracted to do so carry favor with leaders. On time, every time payments demonstrate a personal commitment to pay down your debt. It is the largest single factor used to determine your credit score and the one lenders consider more than any other.
Manage Your Credit Limit or Credit Balance or Both
When establishing healthy credit, it is recommended that you use only 30% of your credit line. Lenders view this pattern of financial restraint positively and are more likely to extend your credit, raise your credit limit and grant you favorable terms. This applies to all of your credit cards. To manage your credit/financial health, it is important to ask your creditor when they report to the Credit Bureaus. You make have made your monthly payment prior to the due date, but your creditor has already reported you having a large credit balance over your credit limit. Your credit balance has not been properly noted and can affect your credit score.
Don't Close Your Credit Cards
The temptation to use credit cards drives some people to close their accounts thus avoiding the dreaded monthly bill. This action is not always the best way to rebuild your credit, as it eliminates a record of positive credit history which accounts to 15% of your credit score. Restraint in using these cards and better financial management is the way to go.
Don't "Pull" Your Credit Report
When a request is made to view your credit file, it is called a "pull". There are two types of "pulls", hard and soft. "Soft pulls" are usually preformed for promotional purposes or by you requesting noted information on your credit file and have no impact on your credit score. "Hard pulls" are those requested by creditors who have by law, "a permissible purpose." They appear as an "inquiry" on your credit file. All inquiries made can be viewed by other creditors and make up 10% of your credit score. New inquiries should be held to a minimum.
Have a Variety of Credit Types
Strive for a mix of revolving credit including credit cards and installment loans, like car payments. This makes up to 10% of your score. When a lender does a "hard pull" of your credit file they want to see the history of payment on these various accounts. They represent your dedication to pay on time.
Learn the Proper Way to Deal with Collection Accounts
Quite often, it is a mistake to make a payment on an account that is in collection because it "re-ages" a debt. "Re-age" in credit language means making a debt appear to be more current than it really is. This can have a huge negative impact on your credit file. Consult a professional before considering this step.
Rebuild Your Credit and Raise Your Score
Re-establishing a responsible credit history is the key to raising your credit score. There are ways to open new credit accounts that allow you to do this. At the same time it will eliminate inaccuracies on your credit file and go a long way in raising your FICO score.
Rebuilding your credit is a must in today's economy. It will give you freedom to make wiser financial decisions that will affect your future and set you up for long-term financial solvency. Repairing your credit takes an enormous amount of time. Consider hiring a professional to help you through the process. It may be the best investment you make in your life.

Private Fee-for-Service Plans
Private fee-for-service (PFFS) plans are a different Medicare Advantage option available in Texas. Private insurance companies under contract with Medicare offer these plans.
PFFS plans differ from managed care plans, such as Medicare HMOs or PPOs, in several important ways:
- PFFS members may go to any doctor, hospital, or other provider that agrees to accept the private fee-for-service plan's terms of payment and is eligible to be paid by Medicare.
- Members don't have a primary care physician to oversee their care, so they don't need a referral to go to a specialist.
- Although members must live in the plan's service area to be eligible, they can receive treatment anywhere in the United States, as long as the provider is willing to accept the plan's terms of payment. Similar to Medicare HMOs and PPOs, the PFFS plan may require prior approval before obtaining some specific services.
As with Medicare HMOs, PFFS members are eligible to join a Medicare Advantage plan if they have both Medicare Part A and Part B and do not have end-stage renal disease. The PFFS plan's contract with Medicare is for one year. Each year, the PFFS plan decides whether to stay in or leave Medicare. If the plan leaves Medicare, members must either return to original Medicare or join another Medicare Advantage plan.
Several companies are approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to offer a private fee-for-service plan in Texas.
Private Fee-for-Service Plan Costs and Benefits
Benefits cover all required Medicare services and may include some enhancements. Most PFFS plans do not include the Medicare Prescription Drug benefit. If you decide to join a PFFS plan and you need the prescription drug benefit, you can get a stand-alone drug plan.
Before you join a plan, understand the expenses associated with the PFFS plan. The following is a list of expenses that could be associated with PFFS plans:
- monthly premium
- copayment for primary care physician and specialist physician visits
- copayment for ER visits
- copayment per day for hospital admission
- copayment per day for skilled nursing facility admission
- copayment per day for non-notification of planned inpatient admission
Providers should only collect from members the cost sharing allowed by the PFFS plan. If a provider does not want to participate with the PFFS plan, you must seek another provider willing to work with the plan. Because you generally enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan for one year, it is important to confirm that your providers accept the PFFS plan before enrolling in a plan.
Find out if the PFFS plan covers emergency health care while traveling out of the United States or other services not covered by Medicare. Also ask what the cost sharing is for those added benefits.
- The process for filing a complaint or grievance, as well as an appeal for services the plan denies or limits, is outlined in the member handbook you received from the plan. You also have the right for a 72-hour expedited appeal. All complaints or appeals should be filed with the plan.
- If you have other insurance that pays the Medicare copayments or deductibles -- such as a group retirement plan, military health benefits, or Medicaid -- ask both your other insurance carrier and the PFFS plan how they will coordinate claims.
For Additional Information
The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), the Texas Legal Services Center, and local Area Agencies on Aging are partners in the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) for Texas. The Texas SHIP is known as HICAP (Health Information, Counseling and Advocacy Program).

There were 31 late models, 21 of the 410 sprints and 19 of the 305 sprints signed in the pit area. For more information go to www.atticaracewaypark.com |

Much as I love my Texas Rangers, I do not live in Texas for a reason. I do not like country music. I do not like hot weather. I do not wear belt buckles. Horses sort of scare me. And although I do have something of an incredible British accent, I can't talk Texan for the life of me. And I repeat, I do not wear belt buckles. Not even Giant belt buckles.
They are a fashion-faux pas.
They are really slightly bizarre.
So what is prompting my anti-belt buckle rampage?
Well, have you taken a look at the Giants 2011 promotions calendar?
On Saturday, July 23rd (versus the Brewers, so I may actually be there) we will be treated to Country Western Night and the first 20,000 fans get a Giants belt buckle.
Where do they come up with these ideas?
If they'd promised me a coupon for a free download of Letters from Home sung by Aubrey Huff it would have gotten the same point across, but in a preferable way. Or a DVD of The Frisco Kid, which is the only Western-ish movie I've even seen and that was because I am a Harrison Ford fangirl. Or something- anything- other than a belt buckle.
Anyway. The next day, also against the Brewers, is Fedora Day, where we all get free fedoras. No one looks good in fedoras except A-Rod of Cam-Rod. Even he is questionable in them.
What is it about the Brewers inspiring the Giants to bad promotions?
I'm not even going to the touch the whole Bring Your Dog Day thing. Been there, said that.

"The Givenses are never confrontational or aggressive in their presentation of Mormonism's contribution to the discussion nor do they ever whip out a trump card of why the Mormon perspective is to be crowned king. The result is a very readable, reasonable and thought-provoking experience."
—Bryan Buchanan - Association for Mormon Letters
"Whether by design or by chance," Terryl and Fiona Givens write, "we find ourselves in a universe filled with mystery. We encounter appealing arguments for a Divinity that is a childish projection, for prophets as scheming or deluded imposters, and for scripture as so much fabulous fiction. But there is also compelling evidence that a glorious Divinity presides over the cosmos, that His angels are strangers we have entertained unawares, and that His word and will are made manifest through a sacred canon that is never definitively closed. What we choose to embrace, to be responsive to, is the purest reflection of who we are and what we love. That is why faith, the choice to believe, is in the final analysis, an action that is positively laden with moral significance."
As humans, we are, like the poet John Keats, "straining at particles of light in the midst of a great darkness." And yet, the authors describe a version of life's meaning that is reasonable—and radically resonant. It tells of a God whose heart beats in sympathy with ours, who set His heart upon us before the world was formed, who fashioned the earth as a place of human ascent, not exile, and who has the desire and the capacity to bring the entire human family home again.
Praise for The God Who Weeps
"I read this fine book in order better to understand what Mormons believe about divine compassion, and it certainly gave me that. But more important: I received in reading it some deeply personal lessons about the tears of God."
—Richard J. Mouw, Ph.D., President and Professor of Christian Philosophy, Fuller Theological Seminary
"Writing from the perspective of Mormon faith, Terryl and Fiona Givens have produced a work of theological reflection that has much to offer not only to Latter-day Saints, but to intellectually and morally serious men and women of every religious persuasion who ponder the mystery of a God who, though profoundly transcendent, reveals Himself to us, offers us His friendship, and even shares our joys and sorrows. To be sure, readers who are not Latter-day Saints will learn from The God Who Weeps a great deal about what Mormons believe (including certain distinctively Mormon doctrines) and why they believe it. But that is only part of the value of the book. For even readers who do not share certain fundamental tenets of the LDS faith, but who believe in a personal, omnipotent, and omniscient God, will benefit from the Givens' thoughtful reflections on how such a God enters into the lives of imperfect creatures like ourselves, lighting our paths, lifting us up when we fall, and summoning us to share in His divine life."
—Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University, author of The Meaning of Marriage: Family, State, Market, and Morals
"Terryl Givens, one of current Mormonism's most celebrated thinkers, with Fiona Givens here provides a fresh perspective on a number of distinctively LDS teachings.The God Who Weeps is a stirring and sensitive look into a personal God whose passions include an infinite capacity to feel after and respond eagerly to the pains and pleadings of His children; a life before this life for both Deity and humanity; a refusal to adopt the classical Christian view of original sin and the dismal and discouraging picture of the human race it paints; and, an optimistic glimpse into a divine plan that seeks to save all of those who wish to be saved. This important work provides a substantive optimism, a welcome and needed portrayal of humanity's heavenly possibilities."
—Robert L. Millet, Professor of Religious Education at Brigham Young University, author of Grace Works
"Reading this book is like experiencing Mormonism in high definition. By masterfully weaving together insights from 'the best books'—scripture and literature, theology and philosophy—Terryl and Fiona Givens bring new depth to the fundamentals of their faith. Whether you know a lot or a little about Latter-day Saint doctrine, this book will both educate and inspire you."
—David E. Campbell, Professor of Political Science, University of Notre Dame, Author of American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us
"Anyone desiring to understand more about Mormon Christianity could find no better guides than Terryl and Fiona Givens. Their heartfelt testimony to what their faith tradition has taught them about life is enriched with luminous insights from Western literature and philosophy. A lovely book!"
—Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard and former US Ambassador to the Vatican, author of The Forum and the Tower: How Scholars and Politicians Have Imagined the World from Plato to Eleanor Roosevelt
"The God Who Weeps is an elegant meditation on the basic tenets of the Mormon faith. The Givenses write with precision and poetry. Their literary and religious references are unusually rich and varied: they include the classic texts of the Bible, early Christian thinkers, Enlightenment philosophers, Romantic poets, German theologians, Russian and American novelists—and many, many more. The prose is at times urgent and even soaring.
"Mormons will enjoy this succinct, sophisticated and searching précis of their core beliefs. Non-Mormons will be led into the heart of a religion that was born on American soil, and whose history is one of the great neglected narratives of our national life."
—Helen Whitney, producer of
The Mormons and Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero
"What if God were everything we are, only perfectly so? And what if those perfections included our vulnerability, our suffering, and our joy? In the Givens' masterful hands, the Mormon view of God comes alive in fresh and challenging ways. Mainstream Christians have much to learn from Mormonism, and this book is the place to start."
—Stephen H. Webb, professor of Religion and Philosophy, Wabash College, author of Jesus Christ, Eternal God
"This is not the kind of book Latter-day Saints ordinarily write. It begins at a deep point of human experience where all is uncertain. It asks: how do you move from an elemental condition of ignorance and yearning to belief and faith? The Givenses tell us not only where they end up but how they got there and along the way confront the most baffling moral and intellectual conundrums of human existence."
—Richard Bushman, Gouverneur Morris Professor of History, Emeritus, Columbia University, author of Joseph Smith, Rough Stone Rolling

The Longing Soul
The Longing Soul
"For He satisfyeth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness."
Whether by design or by chance, we find ourselves in a universe filled with mystery. No picture ever painted fully explains the vast landscape of human experience. Science doesn't try to, and religion often fails. But we humans are meaning-making machines. We are complex creatures of logic and superstition, who crave both clarity and wonder. Faith often asks us to turn a blind eye to the incongruities and inconsistencies of belief in the divine. But reason comes up short as well in accounting for those moments of deepest love and yearning, of unspeakable calm in the midnight of anguish, of the shards of light visible to the inner eye alone.
Skeptics may point out that, even if an all-powerful God presides over creation, we have no guarantee, and little evidence, that such a Being would be any more benevolent and merciful than the frightening figures of a hundred mythologies. Such a concern is reasonable. Most of us do indeed walk our weary way in the dark from candle to candle, or live lives of quiet desperation devoid of even those glimmering guideposts. We are mired in the mundane—and then unexpectedly beauty irrupts into our lives, flashing before us like the first goldfinch of spring. We recognize and crave goodness and kindness, and our hearts yearn to find its source. We know what it is to love beyond any Darwinian drive to preserve our species. We know what it is to mourn the loss of life as something profoundly wrong: too wasteful, too incongruous with the economy of the universe, to be final. We feel to protest the patent absurdity of a one act play:
To see the golden sun, the azure sky, the outstretched ocean; to walk upon the green earth, and be lord of a thousand creatures; to look down yawning precipices or over distant sunny vales; to see the world spread out under one's feet on a map; to bring the stars near; to view the smallest insects through a microscope; . . . to witness the change of seasons, of spring and autumn, of winter and summer; to feel hot and cold, pleasure and pain, beauty and deformity, right and wrong; to be sensible to the accidents of nature; to consider the mighty world of eye and ear; to listen to the stock-dove's notes amid the forest deep; to journey over moor and mountain; to hear the midnight sainted choir; to visit lighted halls, or the cathedral's gloom, or sit in crowded theatres and see life itself mocked; to study the works of art and refine the sense of beauty to agony; . . . to overlook the world as if time and nature poured their treasures at our feet—to be and to do all this and then in a moment to be nothing! . . .
Whatever sense we make of this world, whatever value we place upon our lives and relationships, whatever meaning we ultimately give to our joys and agonies, must necessarily be a gesture of faith. Whether we consider the whole a product of impersonal cosmic forces, a malevolent deity, or a benevolent god, depends not on the evidence, but on what we choose, deliberately and consciously, to conclude from that evidence. To our minds, this fork in our mental road is very much the point. It is, in fact, inescapable. James Stephen noted that "in nearly all the important transactions in life, indeed in all transactions whatever which have relation to the future, we have to take a leap in the dark, . . .to act upon very imperfect evidence. . . . I believe it to be the same with religious belief. . . . If we decide to leave the [questions] unanswered, that is a choice; if we waver in our answer that, too, is a choice: but whatever choice we make, we make it at our peril."
It is true that some people seem born with a capacity to readily believe. And many people die with a full complement of faith. A dear relative spent her last months pining for death because she was the last of her generation, she "missed her people" to an excruciating degree, and she grew more and more disconnected from a world she saw as simply irrelevant, without the power to interest or lay hold upon her. It was striking to watch the world and persons beyond the grave assume, in her mind and in her conversation, a fully fleshed-out texture and presence that utterly displaced the inhabitants of the here and now. Faith did not seem a choice for her. It descended upon her as naturally and irresistibly as the heavy snow that fell on her upstate New York farm.
Such a gift we have not found to be common. And it would seem that among those who most vigorously pursue a rational understanding of the universe, who ask the hard questions and follow where they lead, faith is as often a casualty as it is a product. If there is a god, then perhaps as Robert Bolt's Thomas More suggests, "He made the angels to show Him splendor, as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But Man He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of His mind." Reason must be a part of any solution to the mystery of life that we find satisfactory. A supreme deity would no more gift us with intellect and expect us to forsake it in moments of bafflement, than He would fashion us eyes to see and bid us shut them to the stars. Our vision draws us to that which lies beyond our ken—too distant, or too small, for our mortal powers of perception. Yet we do not abandon our gift of sight, but fashion Galileo's telescope or the electron microscope, which together with naked eyes unlocks new worlds.
So must reason work with will to fashion understanding. The call to faith is a summons to engage the heart, to attune it to resonate in sympathy with principles and values and ideals that we devoutly hope are true and which we have reasonable but not certain grounds for believing to be true. There must be grounds for doubt as well as belief, in order to render the choice more truly a choice, and therefore the more deliberate, and laden with personal vulnerability and investment. An overwhelming preponderance of evidence on either side would make our choice as meaningless as would a loaded gun pointed at our heads. The option to believe must appear on one's personal horizon like the fruit of paradise, perched precariously between sets of demands held in dynamic tension.
Fortunately, in this world, one is always provided with sufficient materials out of which to fashion a life of credible conviction or dismissive denial. We are acted upon, in other words, by appeals to our personal values, our yearnings, our fears, our appetites, and our egos. What we choose to embrace, to be responsive to, is the purest reflection of who we are and what we love. That is why faith, the choice to believe, is, in the final analysis, an action that is positively laden with moral significance.
We are, as reflective, thinking, pondering seekers, much like the proverbial ass of Buridan. The beast in the parable starves to death because he is faced with two equally desirable and equally accessible piles of hay. Having no determinative reason to choose one over the other, he perishes in indecision. In the case of us mortals, we are confronted with a world in which there are appealing arguments for a Divinity that is a childish projection, for prophets as scheming or deluded imposters, and for scriptures as so much fabulous fiction. But there is also compelling evidence that a glorious Divinity presides over the cosmos, that His angels are strangers we have entertained unaware, and that His word and will are made manifest through a scriptural canon that is never definitively closed.
There is, as with the ass of Buridan, nothing to compel an individual's preference for one over the other. For most of us, at least, there is neither a choir of heavenly heralds proving God exists, nor a laboratory of science equipment proving He doesn't. Rather, we find a persuasive body of evidence on both sides of life's competing propositions. Only in the case of us mortals, there is something to tip the scale. There is something to predispose us to a life of faith or a life of disbelief. There is a heart that, in these conditions of equilibrium and balance, equally "enticed by the one or the other," is truly free to choose belief or skepticism, faith or faithlessness.
The call to faith, in this light, is not some test of a coy god, waiting to see if we "get it right." It is the only summons, issued under the only conditions, which can allow us fully to reveal who we are, what we most love, and what we most devoutly desire. Without constraint, without any form of mental compulsion, the act of belief becomes the freest possible projection of what resides in our hearts. Like the poet's image of a church bell that only reveals its latent music when struck, or a dragonfly that only flames forth its beauty in flight, so does the content of a human heart lie buried until action calls it forth. The greatest act of self-revelation occurs when we choose what we will believe, in that space of freedom that exists between knowing that a thing is, and knowing that a thing is not.
This is the realm where faith operates, and when faith is a freely chosen gesture, it expresses something essential about the self. For we do indeed create gods after our own image—or potential image. And that is an activity endowed with incalculable moral meaning. If we linger in indecision, as does Buridan's beast, we will not perish. We will simply miss an opportunity to act decisively in the absence of certainty, and show that our fear of error is greater than our love of truth.
In what follows, we explore five propositions pertaining to who presides over this universe, where we came from, why we are here, and what might await us in the "undiscovered country." Woven together into a coherent tapestry, we find these concepts compelling, inspiring, and reasonable.
1. God is a personal entity, having a heart that beats in sympathy with human hearts, feeling our joy and sorrowing over our pain.
That God has a heart that beats in sympathy with ours is the reality that draws us to Him. That He feels real sorrow, rejoices with real gladness, and weeps real tears with us. This, as the prophet Enoch learned, is an awful, terrible, yet infinitely comforting truth.
2. We lived as spirit beings in the presence of God before we were born into this mortal life.
A sense of unease in the world and the poignant yearnings and shadowy intimations of an eternal past, attest to a timeless heritage at the core of human identity. As premortal individuals, possessing self-awareness and the power of choice, we existed in God's presence long before the foundations of the earth were laid.
>3. Mortality is an ascent, not a fall, and we carry infinite potential into a world of sin and sorrow.
Children are born pure and innocent, without the taint of original sin. (We find plenty on our own.) The momentous choice made by Eve and Adam was itself fortunate, insofar as it did not unleash the double specter of depravity and universal condemnation, but rather made possible the introduction of the human family into the schoolhouse of the world.
4. God has the desire and the power to unite and elevate the entire human family in a kingdom of heaven, and, except for the most stubbornly unwilling, that will be our destiny.
In the premortal world, God "found Himself in the midst of spirits and glory," took compassion on these beings, and "saw proper to institute laws whereby the rest . . . could have a privilege to advance like Himself and be exalted with Him." His design was to elevate and ennoble the entire human family. He does not capriciously foreordain any to damnation. And life is not a lottery in which only the fortunate few born at the right time and place receive a winning ticket. God's plan is wise enough, His love generous enough, that none will be left out.
5. Heaven will consist of those relationships that matter most to us now.
The same Bible that holds out the promise of joint-heirship with Christ also provides morality tales against excessive ambition. Clearly, to aspire to be God is sin; to desire to be like God is filial love and devotion. So any concept of eternal life must be framed by the invitation to share in the divine nature. And God's nature and life are the simple extenuation of that which is most elemental, and most worthwhile, about our life here on earth.
A Great Disappointment!
by Bradley C. - reviewed on January 23, 2013
I purchased this book at Christmas for my wife. She read it from cover to cover, but repeatedly kept telling me that she wasn't enjoying it. I had a hard time believing her because of the great reviews. I recently picked up the book in order to discover for myself whether her assessment was accurate or not. I read the Introduction and then Chapter One. I found the content to be flowery nothingness and a great disappointment. I have an extensive church library and cannot remember ever being so spiritually disappointed in a books content that I have decided it would be in my best interest of time to close it and not pick it up again. Sadly, this has been the case!
The Plan of Salvation explained with beauty and depth
by Catherine - reviewed on January 10, 2014
I was sad to read the reviews of those who didn't get much out of this book. It was one of the best books I have ever read on the subject of Heavenly Father's relationship to his spirit children. I do not have a masters or doctorate degree, but I am a deep thinker when it comes to the gospel so I appreciate profound insight, particularly when it is sound and not meant to be sensationalized. I can understand why some feel the book is written for intellectuals. Some of the language takes repetition to comprehend. It is reminiscent of the writing and speaking style of Elder Neal A. Maxwell, whose beautiful, metaphorical expressions often required some dissecting. So, in fairness to some of the other reviewers, it isn't what I would call an easy read and it wouldn't be the best choice for someone looking for a quick, cover-to-cover-in-a-day kind of book. It took some work to get through. But I wouldn't describe it as being only for the highly educated, either. There is so much good material in this book, and the language is exquisite. I came away feeling greatly enlightened, having a much clearer vision of the Plan of Happiness. I couldn't wait to recommend it to my friends and family. In my opinion, well worth the time.
Difficult book to read and understand
by Dennis - reviewed on January 23, 2013
I bought this book with great hope that it would be the spiritual experience I anticipated. Frankly, I could not read past chapter two. I found the book requires a PHD/or Masters Degree to interpret what the author is saying through the language used. It is not written for the person who enjoys a read that is easily understood.
Truly remarkable
by Fredrick - reviewed on October 17, 2012
In the MP3 audio version, Fiona Givens reads the book that she and her husband have authored. The beauty and depth of the insights are well matched by the beauty and eloquence of Fiona's voice. Reading/listening is a marvelous and moving experience. It is one of the best books I have ever encountered.
Profoundly inspiring
by Customer - reviewed on January 03, 2013
Geoff's review echoes my sentiments. For me, there were many "I never thought of it that way" moments with perspectives and ideas that were profoundly inspiring. "The God Who Weeps" is beautifully written and enriched by many literary and philosophical references that otherwise would be unknown to the average reader but are perfect complements to each subject or conversation. It is both logical and emotional. For those whose reason suppresses their faith, I can't help but think this book would gently persuade them to rethink, redefine and return to who they really are. I loved this book.
Beautiful, logical and increased my understanding of God's perfect love.

Hands down... One of the greatest books Deseret Book has published!
by Rodney - reviewed on June 13, 2013
This book has helped open my heart to new depths, understanding and comprehending the indescribable love of God. This book has been praised by some of the greatest scholars of Mormonism, rightfully so. Beautifully written, we're given insight from the ages.. masters of scholarship and philosophy are brought into a single view... "God's pain is as infinite as His love. He weeps because He feels compassion... it is not their wickedness, but their "misery," not their disobedience, but their "suffering," that elicits the God of Heaven's tears. Not until Gethsemane and Golgotha does the scriptural record reveal so unflinchingly the costly investment of God's love in His people, the price at which He placed His heart upon them. There could be nothing in this universe, or in any possible universe, more perfectly good, absolutely beautiful, worthy of adoration, and deserving of emulation, than this God of love and kindness and vulnerability... In the vision of Enoch, we find ourselves drawn to a God who prevents all the pain He can, assumes all the suffering He can, and weeps over the misery He can neither prevent nor assume."
Written by intellectuals for intellectuals
by Linden - reviewed on November 14, 2012
Written by intellectuals for intellectuals. I collected a few good gems from the book, but most of it was above me. I read a lot, but this book really challenged my comprehension. Great title, that's why I bought the book.
by Elaine - reviewed on October 31, 2012
I had only read the Excerpt on this book.It truly touched my heart.Sometimes as humans we forget who we are,and where we came from. To understand that indeed God weeps at our sorrows,and that he truly understands how we feel,is not to humanise him,but makes him more accesible to us. To say as the scriptures attest,"for now we see through a glass darkly" brings home to me how we can overcome that darkness as we walk into the light of his love. I will be purchasing this book. The language is breathtaking and glorious,like precious pearls,made more lovely as we read it.Thank you.
An eloquent statement of LDS beliefs about God's relationship to us.
by Geoff - reviewed on January 02, 2013
This is truely an eloquent discussion of LDS beliefs, a very thoughtful and perceptive analysis of our relationship with the Divine....a loving God who has our best interests at heart. This is beautifully written with numerous references to philosophers and poets to help give added depth to the arguments and discussions. The book seems to gain more insight and depth as it goes on with the last chapters rich and fertile ground for thought and insight. A few have commented about the 'intellectual' nature of the book but I disagree, the authors adequately explain their inclusions which dispels, for me, any need to feel distant. The authors need congratulations!
We worship a God who weeps!
by Shauna - reviewed on October 24, 2012
START THIS BOOK IN CHAPTERS 3-5 THEN READ CHAPTERS 1-2! JUST SAYIN' I have had a couple of people now tell me that this book is a little hard to get into...And I tend to agree... BUT... Once you get to chapters 3-5 you can't put it down! Amazing thoughts on who the God we worship is and how he LOVES his children~~US! AND...How he wants us to be HAPPY! If you have started this book...and have put it down...pick it back up and skip to chapter 3... You will be happy you didn't give up on this book :)
