Lorvin recognizes that look on Moriah's face. And he looks at Murray and Sweeney.  His daughter is having more success in getting through to them.  He will not add anything.  He will just listen as Moriah continues, "When you were younger, do you ever recall your Dad asking you to do something and you simply did not do it?  Or you were asked not to do something ---and you did it anyway?  You may have even thought what you did wasn't wrong at all ---but it was wrong, simply because you were asked not to do it.  Maybe you didn't understand why, but that doesn't matter.   Your parents may have seen something that you didn't see. Maybe they wanted to protect you ---even if they had a strange way of showing they cared."

Moriah's explanation intensifies itself, "Maybe they even dictated to  you in an unforgiving fashion.  But if you disobeyed them, you were also separating yourself from what God would want you to do."

Murray speaks up this time, "And one act of disobedience can cause someone a lifetime of pain."

A tear travels down Sweeney's worn face, "And a lifetime of guilt."

    Moriah's call is for simplicity, "Don't carry the guilt.  All anyone has to do is come clean …confess it."
