Linda's Answer

I thought I would put Linda's answer in a post for all to see rather than hidden in a comment. Her answer reminds me of "National Treasure 2":

Hmmm. Lunch with anyone. There are so many. Dead, perhaps Abraham Lincoln. There were prophesies about that time in history that even he knew about. Also, his death had a bit of a mystery as he had foreseen his own funeral.Alive, Barrack Obama. I want to see who he really is. There is too much hype flying around - both negative and positive.

Fun Finding a Tree

I just wanted to blog and share some of the fun we had with our visitors this past week.  As Christmas is approaching we found ourselves without a Christmas tree.  So, we decided to make a day out of it, and so off we went to the tree farm to cut down our very own tree.  

Brad and Deborah had fun with the boys 

while Rachel had fun catching the tree after James chopped it down!   Way to go Rachel!

Overall it was a fun experience, though a bit cold.  For more pics visit the Hutchings Family blog.  I hope everyone had fun and is feeling better.  :)

Answer to the Question

I'm going to answer Liz's question with a condition: I'm eliminating Jesus, Joseph Smith, and scriptural prophets.   I mean, who doesn't want to meet Elijah?

That said, here I go.

Dead person: Martin Luther.  There's just too much legend now surrounding him, but I suspect he was a godly man, humble but bold.  I can't even fathom the anxiety he felt on October 31, 1517 as he nailed that paper to the door of the Wittenburg Castle Church.  I'd like to see into his eyes and discuss those events that ushered in the Reformation and therefore Restoration.

Live Person: Nelson Mandela.  Those in the know say that the South African government has hired "life coaches" to help Mandela live as long as possible.  They fear that his death will mark the end of peace in that country.  He spent 27 years in prison, then became president of a country with a strong and vibrant history of legal and government sanctioned separation based on skin color.

There you go.  It took me a while to come up with these, and I'm sure tomorrow I'll think of something better, but hey, there are just too many amazing people to limit oneself!

A new Question . . .

I think James has admin on this since he set it up, so let him know what you want!  He is very good at these things.  :)

I realized I didn't post any new question.  Before I do I would like to ask that you just create a new blog to respond since we don't get notifications for new comments.   

Hmmm. . . what to ask?

If you could have lunch with anyone (dead or alive) who would you choose?  Feel free to choose one dead and one alive to make things a little more fun!  :)
