At two in the morning I was awakened, not by Laura, but by an urgent feeling that something was very wrong at home. It was a dark, desperate feeling that my family was in danger and I couldn't shake it. I contemplated waking Paige and rushing home as the feeling got stronger that my family was in danger... in danger of perishing in a fire. I paced the floor trying to completely wake up from what I decided must have been a bad nightmare, but I couldn't be comforted from the strong premonition of fire, danger, death and thoughts of Paige and I being left alone in the world. So I did the only thing I could do and began to pray. I prayed for my family's protection, I prayed for comfort and I prayed that everything would be okay.
Meanwhile back at home...
Around two-thirty in the morning (the very hour that I was praying) Rick was suddenly awakened by a very faint beeping sound. The sound led him to the kitchen where he found that the dishwasher's extra heat setting had become jammed. The dishwasher blazed with the heat of a scorching oven and Rick felt very fortunate that he had been able to prevent it from bursting into flames.

Our dishwasher is ruined, our dishes melted, but as you can see the babies are fine and our testimonies of a loving Heavenly Father, who will only give us the experiences we need for our profit and learning, are stronger than ever.
AMAZING!
