O T Character

I was thinking about which Old Testament character would be cool to hang out with for a day. It's a more difficult choice than I had originally anticipated it would be. I think I would choose King Solomon. He fascinates me. I mean how cool would it be to hang out with a guy who was the wisest man to ever live. He knew something about just about everything so you could talk with him about anything.

I think I would ask him...
  • Why all the women?
  • What was it like having King David as a father?
  • What's more difficult to handle success or failure?

Someone from History

Yesterday, I posted on who I would love to hang out with for a day that is famous right now in our world. Today, I am thinking about one person in history that I would love to chill with for 24 hours. I have a lot of people that come to mind. So, I am going to limit the boundaries who I can pick to spend a day with to someone who is historical, but not found in the Bible. I will get to the Bible guys tomorrow.

I think I would like to spend a day with Robert E. Lee. I read a biography on him last year and was amazed at this guy. I think he was a fascinating person. I would love to talk to him about politics and his faith in Jesus. I would like to know how difficult it was for him to fight against the Union. It must have been an incredible burden to be a General that sent young men into battle knowing that many of them would die. That kind of burden for any man must be terribly difficult to handle.

What about you? What non-biblical historical figure would you like to get to know in person? And why?

One other thing about yesterdays blog on spending time with Mark Richt. I have not been feeling to well and slept much of the day. I have some kind chest and sinus respitory infection. I went to sleep and actually dreamed about hanging out with Mark Richt. It was kinda strange, but cool. I guess later tonight I will be standing on some battlefield with R. E. Lee, at least in my dreams.

What Famous Person of Today?

If you were given the honor of spending a day with one famous person that is still alive who would you choose?

I was thinking about this question on the way to work this morning. I had a bunch of people to cross my mind, but I think I would choose to spend a day with Mark Richt, the head football coach of the Georgia Bulldogs. I would think he would have some great stories to tell about football as head coach and as a player. I would love to hear about what he's learned about leadership over the years. Most of all, I would love hearing about how he integrates his faith in Jesus with life and coaching. He seems like he be a laid back cat that would be good just to chill with over dinner.

Who would you choose and why? I would love to hear from you.
