Firetruck!

   Today, Elder Russell and I were waiting at a light, waiting to turn right. Waaaaaaaaay off in the distance, we could see some flashing lights. They were coming rapidly closer. And I mean, rapidly closer. Soon, we could see this fire engine hauling tail down the road. It was weaving through 5 lanes (two either direction and the turning lane) like it was some small, light, fast European sports car. The driver was borderline reckless! And that's exactly what I thought as he flew passed us as we quietly sat in the turning lane with our bikes in the back and the turning signal on.

   It reminded me of the following. It's a quote from  Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's talk For Times of Trouble:

[If] our eyes could be opened we would see horses and chariots of fire as far as the eye can see riding at reckless speed to come to our protection. They will always be there, these armies of heaven, in defense of Abraham’s seed. 

   You have to admit, that's cool. So, that's why I thought of as this fire engine raced down the street to someone's rescue.

   You go, firemen. You go.
