The plot revolves around teenager Sarah's quest to reach the center of an enormous otherworldly maze to find her brother. The evil and cunning Jareth the Goblin King continually tries to confuse her, lead her off path & get her to give up. There are tons of stumbling blocks along her way to include the Knights & knaves logic puzzle, goblins, fire gang, dead ends, trap doors, dungeons & the Bog of Eternal Stench.
Sarah does find some friends along the way in Ludo and Sir Didymus. A little troll named Hoggle appears to befriend her at first but then betrays her trust.
Despite all the enemies and challenges Sarah faces, she is determined to find her brother. Sarah endures to the end!
In the end she conquers the Labyrinth & the Goblin King by saying "You have no power over me!"
Sometimes, this life feels like a bit of a Labyrinth too! We have tests & trials, the Goblin King (Satan) tries to confuse & deceive us. We are human & sometimes fall into the stenchy bog of sin & rationalization. We have those that will try to lead us in the wrong direction, take shortcuts or trap doors. We also have those that pretend to be our friend but then sabotage us. We thankfully also have loyal family and friends that try to cheer us on and help us in our journey.

We too can know that Satan "has no power over us" unless we give him that power.
It's also vital, that in order to get through the maze, we remember our goal is to seek for and be reunited with our Brother (Jesus Christ).

Almost every talk (if not every)mentioned the importance of our testimony in the Savior, His teachings and atonement. Also the importance that we evaluate our relationship with Him. All testified in some way of Our Savior.
Jeffrey R Holland gave a very emotional & amazing talk asking us to "put ourselves in Peters place when the Savior asked the apostle Peter "Do Ye love me?" Do we really show Him through our actions and by the way we seek Him that we truly do love Him? Can we honestly say without hesitation or feelings of unworthiness that "Yea Lord, we do love thee"?" If we were to be on trial, would there be enough evidence to convict us of being disciples of Christ?
I hope that as we all go through our own Labyrinths that we can keep focus on our elder Brother Jesus Christ & never stop seeking for Him that we may live close to Him daily. Also,realize that the world and Satan have no power over us unless we relinquish it to them! If we do fall into the Bog of Eternal Stench (sin), the Savior has the power to cleanse us from all. Isaiah 1:18 "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
We love you all!
