****We interrrupt this Top Ten Friday to bring you the breaking news that Emma sat on Santa's lap at the mall this morning. She cried only a little bit, but she did not scream and she posed long enough for the above picture to be taken. We now return you to our regular scheduled programming!*******(Now if I can only get Aidan to do the same thing....)
Top Ten People in the Bible I Would Like to Meet: (in random order)
10) Paul - He was the first disciple to teach the Gentiles. I am a Gentile. I would like to hear his stories.
9) Mary Magdelene - only woman close to Jesus, among so many men. Very interesting.
8) Mary, mother of Jesus - Can you imagine raising the son of God? What must that have been like for her as a mother?
7) Daniel - The more I study him, the more I want to know him.
6) David - He is human and a chosen one of God. He sinned and yet was still used immeasurably.
5) Jonathan - He loved David like a brother. That kind of loyalty is something I would like to know.
4) Abraham - He continued to be faithful, even when the odds seemed against it. How must it have been for him to believe surrounded by unbelief?
3) Sarah - She raised a child when she was old. She would have lots of stories to tell!
2) Naomi and Ruth - They stayed together through thick and thin. I strived to be like them in my relationship with my mom-in-law. I am lucky to have in-laws that I like.
1) Jesus - There's nothing to say about this one. He is my savior. There are many things I would like to ask, say....Thankfully, I already 'know' him. I just can't wait to meet him face to face.
