Inspiration from Scriptures

Going off of what Abby said, using the scriptures as an inspiration for stories: she is absolutely right!
I love the scriptures and they have some of the best stories in there (of course)!  The story of Ammon who refused to be King, Nephi leaving behind everything he knew, a young girl who would become the Mother of Christ, Daniel being taken from his homeland, a young man betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery, of course Captain Moroni, the story of a boy who became converted by angels (okay, there are a few: Paul, Alma).
If you look back those are some fantastic ideas!  Another fun thing I learned with my history curriculum (Tapestry of Grace) is the settings where these stories happened.  I had entered late so I only read about the Romans, but it was amazing to learn what it was like during Jesus' day!

TOG is also very Christian and they believe in the Trinity; it was interesting to see how our religions were different in some ways yet still the same in others!

Anyway, with seminary being about the Book of Mormon this year, I have been inspired to write about Nephi's 'sister', a story about Ammon, Joseph in Egypt, ect.  Just great stories and great characters with great depth.  :)
