I'm having writer's block. Or would it be brainstormers block? Either way, I need some ideas.
Bryan and I are speaking in church on Sunday (my fourth Sacrament meeting talk in sixteen months) and I'm having trouble figuring out my topic. I've discovered I like having a scripture or two to talk about. I'm able to focus in instead of staying broad. I don't have a verse this time.
In what I assume is in preparation for General Conference, my topic is "the words of the Prophets bring us to Christ." When I first heard it I thought, "Awesome! I should be able to find lots to talk about." And I can. Too much. I'm having trouble narrowing it down and landing on a central image or idea.
I've thought about 2 Nephi 25:26, Alma the Younger's conversion story in Alma 36, and Doctrine and Covenants 76:22-24. I considered pulling largely from The Living Christ. I spent most of my two hour glucose test this morning (not because I failed the one hour test, but because my doctor's office only gives the two hour) going through recent General Conference issues of the Ensign looking for what the prophets have said about Christ. And I'm still twiddling my thumbs, wondering what I'll be talking about on Sunday.
Any ideas? They can be broad or narrow. You never know when something will ignite the fire of inspiration.
