Of Battles and Buffalo

My sister was telling me about a fireside that her husband recently gave. His idea originated with the talk Spiritual Crocodiles by Boyd K. Packer (an excellent talk!) and ended up using this youtube video. It is kind of long but worth watching until the end. It is really amazing and strangely moving--actually made me a little teary. There's just so much that we can take from this. As I was watching a scripture came to mind. "Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.

And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha." (2 Kings 6:14-17, emphasis added).

I see a Family Home Evening lesson in our near future.
