1 Nephi 6 - 11

Our discussion this week centered around Lehi's Vision.  In order to work within the nature of the vision, we isolated some of the elements and studied them more closely.  Here are our contributions!

Some of the elements which represent the Love of God in our lives ...

... the river, full of illusion, containing rips and tides and currents which can pull us under ...

a wonderful rod of iron, protecting us from fiery darts and also ensuring that our hearts are kept safe ... 

our multi-dimensional mist of darkness, with some of the things which entice and lure ...

(and which I couldn't resist photographing at a low angle)

and finally a great and spacious building with all of its voices ...

"If you hold to the rod, you can feel your way forward with the gift of the Holy Ghost. Grasp the iron rod, and do not let go. You may think that Lehi’s dream or vision has no special meaning for you, but it does. You are in it; all of us are in it." (Pres Boyd K. Packer)

How would you depict Lehi's dream?  Which images are significant to you - as you ponder and journal, here are some additional resources to consider:
