Real-Life Inspirations

Just recently, I was asked which person in history, dead or alive, I would most like to meet and why.

These are my top 5 choices:

1. Jesus Christ
   (At the second coming. And that means living in God's eternal kingdom a.k.a. heaven/paradise. And finally getting answers to all of life's questions.)
   
2. Paul/Saul
   (The reformed persecutor of Christians in the bible who wrote majority of the New Testament books. One of the greatest redemption stories yet.)
   
3. Joseph, son of Jacob
   (A dreamer who was despised and sold to Egypt by his brothers, he chose to obey God and forgive them. God rose him through the ranks from prisoner to governor.)
   
4. Moses
   (First-hand witness to the parting of the Red Sea and all the other miracles performed by God.)
   
5. Leonardo da Vinci
   (One of the greatest minds of the Renaissance era. A talented polymath who inspired me to learn and explore as much as I can. If only I could speak his language. Can't wait till he hears that a turtle was named after him.)

Runners-up:

• Simon Peter (from the bible)
• Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
• Shakespeare
• Nick Vujicic
• Hugh Jackman
• Deborah (in the book of Judges)
• Mary, mother of Jesus
