1. The Apostle Paul
He is a man after my own heart. Paul says so many things in the New Testament that I feel every day of my life. He strives onward toward the Lord even though he admittedly fails horribly at times. I look at his life and am encouraged that if God can do what He did in Paul (changing him from a killer of Christians to a guy who wrote part of the Bible and subsequently lead many to Christ) then I think there's hope for me yet. I am not where I want to be in life, but I have hope in the One that I am following! 2. Beth Moore This woman's faith and fervor for Jesus never ceases to amaze me. I love her in depth Bible studies and the way she can just bring it. If I could have just a tiny chunk of her fierceness and self discipline I'd consider myself much better off! Oh to be as crazy in love with Jesus as Beth is, that is my prayer! What a beautiful example she is to us ladies. 3. Tom Hanks One of my favorite movie stars - I like everything he's in....I mean really, has he made a bad movie? The Burbs? Castaway? That Thing You Do? (Which he wrote) Big? Sleepless in Seattle? All so good! I think he'd be a great asset to the dinner party - what witty conversation we'd all have! :) 4. My Great-Grandfather (my mom's mother's father - confused yet?) He was killed in a car wreck before I was born, but from what I hear he was quite a character. Always teasing and playing little jokes. He was a tailor too which I think is pretty neat. I have mastered making pillows, but oh to have him teach me how to make an entire outfit! :) 5. Jim Halpert Okay, I know he's a fictional character, but I wanted to see what all the fuss about this TV show was, so I went and rented the last few seasons of the Office and I love Jim! He's sweet and endearing and I love all the stuff he does to Dwight. It gives me ideas for pranks to play on my co-workers. I've yet to put anyone's stuff into jello-molds, but it's not beyond me either. 6. Donald Miller He's one of my favorite authors.....he's writes so candidly. His books, while I don't completely agree with everything he says, have lead me on some long, thought-provoking journeys. I've laughed, cried, gotten mad, cheered, feared, been speechless, felt lost, searched and discovered lots of new things about myself, the world and the Lord while reading his books. 7. The 2004 Boston Red Sox World Series Championship Team Okay so I know thi is technically more than one person, but it's only one category. I'd love to meet the guys that broke "the curse" and won the series (on my birthday I might add) after all those years. 8. My future husband This is assuming of course that he is someone that I've never met....and this also would make for either a very awkward first date or a very interesting first date! :) Providing Musical Entertainment after dinner would be: Chris Tomlin (featuring Christy Nockles and Matt Redman); Louis Armstrong; Harry Connick Jr.; and topping off the concert would be the old school DC Talk (back when they rapped!). Hmm....I just noticed that with the exception of one musician, I have only invited ONE female to my dinner party!! :)

This is a great blog post. In fact, I'm going to steal it and blog about it. And I may steal some of your answers too! I'm not really steal them because they would so be some of my answers too.
Isn't The Office great?
Have you done Beth Moore's "To Live is Christ"? It's about Paul. Our Bible study group just finished it. Fabulous.
Oh, and you know your Red Sox swept my Cardinals in 2004?! Oh well, at least that great movie Fever Pitch came out of it. Well, it was already in the making, but they changed the ending to reflect real baseball life.
WOW ... that's a lot of comments I had. :)
Just realized I never replied to this (I replied on facebook, but not here!) :) I haven't done Beth's "To Live is Chist." But I am very interested! I want to do ALL of her studies - it's always so hard to pick! :)
Loved your dinner party list. I would also love to have Jim Halpert and Beth Moore at my dinner party. Tom Hanks would be great, too. I just watched "You've Got Mail" again last night. The Office is hands down my favorite sit-com. And, Beth Moore is just the kind of Christian I want to be. Fully alive and focused on following Christ completely. Thanks for sharing!
