Writing Prompt – What are you Ignoring?

The world is a firehose of content and messages. It’s impossible to drink from a firehose, because the water comes out so fast and so powerfully that there’s no way to actually drink from it.

Writing Prompt – What do you want?

In this week’s Come Follow Me lesson, we learn about Alma and Amulek, and their lessons they taught the people of Ammonihah. Alma was trying to teach the people of Ammonihah, but they ridiculed him; they spit on him, made fun of him and his teachings, and basically ran him out of town. He left town, feeling pretty dejected. He was visited by an angel of the Lord, and was prompted to turn back and go into Ammonihah and preach again to the people there. He did as he was commanded, and ran into Amulek.
