Ron and I were still in the “wanting to make a good impression” phase of our relationship, and I for sure did not want to look like the coward that I am, so I willingly made the descent into the cavern.Like Elder Timothy J. Dyches' experience in Moaning Caverns, Ron and I were not prepared for the moment when our tour guide turned off the lights. All of them. I had never been in such vast darkness before. Never been in darkness so dense we couldn't see our hand in front of our fade. I didn't like it. You never know what monsters lurk in this kind of darkness. I remember what a relief it was when the tour guide finally switched the small flashlight he was carrying to the “on” position, and I was amazed by how much comfort that little light gave me. I marveled that such a tiny beam of light had the power to chase away such immense darkness. Two of my greatest fears--far greater than cellars or small spaces or being buried alive--are 1) that any of my children or my children's children might experience spiritual darkness; and 2) that I might somehow slip into spiritual darkness again. I know firsthand some of the monsters who lurk there--and I for sure never want those monsters lurking anywhere near my children!In this sense, I must confess I have a healthy fear of the dark!

Look closely at the evidence that shows God was never far from you. The evidence is there, I promise. It might have been in the words of a family member, a kindness from a neighbor, the comfort of a friend, the beauty of a song or a verse. He was there. He was there because He knows where we go when we run away from Him. He knows where we hide.RESOURCES"Light Cleaveth to Light" Elder Timothy J.
