& I love Talk Radio -in particular I love Glenn Beck.
I'd like to meet:
..I would like to meet so many people. It is difficult to choose just a few.I would love to meet Glenn Beck... He is the infusion of entertainment and enlightenment. His is the voice of reason in an insane world. Check him out at www.glennbeck.com."Too many people blame everything on everybody else, and because they do, they will expect too little from themselves and too little from their children."Glenn BeckRev.Ravi Zacheriah amazes me and teaches me so much through his radio ministry at www.rzim.org. His speech is so loving and deeply intellegent.I would like to meet some people that are no longer among the living:Such as Teddy Roosevelt, Mary Magdalene, The Apostle Paul, Saint Augustine,Socrates, Saint Francis, Saint Patrick, Homer, Sappho,C.S.Lewis, Virginia Woolf, just to name a few...Being a Christian..you might think that I should have Jesus on the top of the list of people I'd like to meet, but I have already met Jesus...just ask me how..

"Narrow is the mansion of my soul; enlarge Thou it, that Thou mayest enter in. It is ruinous; repair Thou it. It has that within which must offend Thine eyes; I confess and know it. But who shall cleanse it? or to whom should I cry, save Thee?" The Confessions of Saint Augustine
