   Oh, I think Charles Dickens, first of all.  There's an underlying humour and a vast understanding of people in his work and I love his way with words.
   
   Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.  I'd let him choose the music.  I'd let him know how very much his Requiem Mass moves me; how much his music has meant and how it lives on.
   
   Vincent Van Gogh.  I'd really like to talk to him.  I love his artwork and I'd love to tell him how successful it was for later generations and let him know that he was appreciated after all, though unfortunately he didn't experience this appreciation in his lifetime.  I'd like to try to make up for that.

   Jesus -- Without Him I would be totally lost! He keeps me grounded and living a life with Christian values. I would like to have Him teach me more. I want to Thank Him in person for giving His life for me.
   
   Morrie Schwartz-- His attitude about life and death were extraordinary and he would have so much to teach me. He was a wonderful man and one of the greatest thinkers and teachers of this period in time.
   
   The Apostle Paul-- His epistles were all so valuable to learn by as a Christian. They were also very valuable to the founding of the Church and its practices. I would love to discuss them with him. And to discuss his strong faith even during such trials as his imprisonment.

   Mark Twain very inteligent and has a great sense of humor.  I'm from the south and I grew up on the Mississippi River.
   
   Bill Clinton, I think may very well be the sharpest politician since FDR. Never cared much for his politics. He's extremely intelligent and charismatic. His intelligence, I believe is something that is missed, overlooked or over shadowed a lot. Besides there is absolutely no doubt that this is a guy who knows how to have a good time!

    I would hope the three people I would sit with would be:
    1. Jesus
    2.Mary Magdeline(Jesus' best friend though humanly deemed a whore)
    3. My birth mother
    
    1a. I love Jesus and He's really all that matters. If I went through this whole life time looking forward to see Him---no matter what ordeals, bad deals and the unhealed I've seen---and find Him not there I would rather go to Hell(because there wouldn't be one.
    2a.Mary Magdeline was the first person Jesus revealed Him self to after His crucifixion. I figure I've done my share of sinning  so her past didn't matter to Him.  He loved her devotion and seeking Him out whenever she could.  She washed His feet with perfumes, her tears and her hair the night prior to His being taken away. Let's not forget that God created woman because a man being alone was the first thing God deemed NOT good so I'm under the discernment that there was a woman perfectly matched to honor Jesus appropriately. Long story short---I would ask what they spoke of the moment she realized He lived..
    3a. I would want my birth mother to be there and just explain to Jesus(whom I talk frequently with) what her reasoning was to leave me to ineptly fend for myself when I was six.

    Jesus Christ - For my spiritual health.  I believe he would be candid about my spiritual condition and direct me on whether my choices are truly the correct path. 
    
    Edgar Allan Poe - For mental health.  Seems strange, but the man went through hell and still produced brilliant stories until his mysterious death. If getting estranged from your father, losing all your wealth, and the death of your loved ones doesn't kill your muse, your mind's ironclad in my book. 
    
    Stephen King - For financial.  The man's writing is not only respected by the literary community, but he's also affluent from it.
