BTW, I just got a forward from my dad that started with the words, “I can’t believe I am sending this to my family.”

1. Johnny Cash- well duh, can you imagine the stories you’d hear in that gravelly voice?

2. Paul- then you could find out what the thorn was, and get a better feel for the kind of man it takes to evangelize the known world.

3. Apollos- put him on the other side of the table from Paul, find out if the haters were right.

4. Steve Jobs- b/c I’ll never actually meet him, and if he has dinner with these cats, he’ll have no choice but to repent. And then he’ll give me an iPhone in gratitude.

5. Henry Rollins- if anyone would be dumb enough to go toe-to-toe in a debate with Paul, it would be Rollins. Plus he has some cool stories too.

6. Elijah the Prophet- mostly because I don’t think he got many good meals in him when he was on earth.

Okay, without giving this too much thought, here’s my list….

1) C. S. Lewis. I think he’d be fun to share a pint with. My personal hero.

2) Tony Dungy. My other personal hero. A guy that is totally unafraid of being vocal about his faith, but does it in a humble way, which is particularly inspiring in the macho world of football.

3) Barnabas. He doesn’t get much face time in the Bible, but what little is said about him makes him seem like a pretty cool guy.

4) Adam. Now THAT guy would have some stories. Also, I’d be interested in what someone created in the image of God looked like.

5) Srinivasa Ramanujan. One of the world’s most brilliant mathematical prodigies. His amazing mind was partially the inspiration for Matt Damon’s character in Good Will Hunting.

6) Joseph Smith. I’d just like to see the looks on Jack Lewis’ and Barnabas’ faces after he started talking about golden plates and reformed egyptian.
