Last night I had the opportunity to go to a screening for The Cokeville Miracle at the LDS Film Festival.
You guys. It was so good. I'm having a hard time putting into words the feelings I had last night as I watched the film, and the feelings I've had since, but I'll try.
I've grown up hearing the story, and I've always believed it was a miracle that those kids and teachers survived that day. I knew that the events of that day were very tramatic and very real. Because of that, I was pretty nervous to see the film. I didn't want to be more scared about the events of that day than I already was. Well, the exact opposite happened. I came away from the film knowing without a doubt that angels intervened that day. Those children and teachers were being watched over. My testimony of divine intervention, forgiveness, and repentance grew immensely in a short two hours. I'm proud to say I know many of the survivors of the events of that May day in 1986 and I admire their courage not only that day, but all of the days that have followed.
So please, spread the word about The Cokeville Miracle. It comes out in theatres June 5th and I encourage all of you to go see it. The filmmakers are true artists.
God lives. He loves us. Miracles happen.
