dinner

I heard this on Oprah. If you could have a dinner with ten people who have died, who would you invite and why?

My dinner guests-

One: My husband's father - because he must have been awesome, just look at TT.

Two: Christopher Columbus - what courage to cross the blue in the hopes that his theories about a new continent were right and he made that journey in faith that God was leading him.

Three: Rahab - the Bible whore who found grace and faith with God (and whose children are in the lineage of Jesus Christ).

Four: David, King of Israel - who made so sinned so much, yet still was known as a man whose heart was after the Lord.

Five: Abigail - who was married to a fool, who became David's wife, yet did not get the honor of having her children in the lineage of Christ.

Six: Moses - who led a stubborn and rebellious and ungrateful group to the Promised Land, yet, b/c of his anger, did not get to enter the Promised Land himself.

Seven: Margaret Mitchell - the great author of Gone With the Wind. Who was she and how much of that novel was her own story?

Eight: All the children I did not have from taking birth control. What greatness did I miss from my womb by aborting baby after baby because it was not "convenient" to have a child?

Nine: Jesus Christ - King of Kings, lover of my soul, in spite of all my failings He gave Himself for me so that I would have eternal life and forgiveness for my millions of sins.

Ten: My mother - who denied God until ten days before her death. What was it like to be embraced by the One she rejected for nearly all her life?


So, who woud you invite to your dinner and why? And do you think we could get Jamie and Belle to cater for us?!
