1. Moses - What was it like when the sea parted? Why did you hit that rock with your staff? What was it like to be so physically close to God on that mountain? If given another chance, would you think twice about throwing down those holy tablets?
2. Corrie ten Boom – The topic is forgiveness.
3. Abraham Lincoln – I have no idea what I would ask him. But I would thank him for his role in history.
4. Elvis Presley – What WERE you thinking??? Your Gospel music was so beautiful. Did you know Christ as your personal Savior?
5. Marilyn Monroe – Did you really kill yourself? And tell me everything you know about JFK….
6. Elijah (who didn’t actually die)- Tell me all about that chariot ride. It must have been a doozie!
7. Mary, Mother of Jesus – How did you raise a child that was perfect? I know He made you mad sometimes, like when He was lost. Though He was perfect, were you ever tempted in your flesh to punish the Son of God when you didn’t understand Him?
8. Princess Diana – What would you change if you could live your life over? You had so much love to give, and not enough time to give it.
9. Francis Eaton, Mayflower passenger – Are you my ancestor? What lured you into the New World? Are you glad you came to America?
10. John Hancock, signer, Declaration of Independence – Oh, how I would love to talk to you. My initial question would be about being the first to sign that document and how that action impacted your life. Then, I would talk to you about family. You are in my family tree. Of course since both your children died, you had no heirs to carry on your line, so I am not a direct descendant.
11. Eve – Why did you allow that snake to talk you into eating that fruit? Did you ever forgive yourself for the impact of your action on your family? Or did you cry yourself to sleep at night in sorrow, remembering what you had lost, including close communion with God?
12. Mel Blanc – How did you manage to create so many different voices for your cartoon characters? Which one was your favorite? Bugs Bunny? Elmer Fudd? Could you sing for me one more time–”Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit……”?
13. Me (after I am gone) – Are you happy with the way things turned out? What would you have done differently? Did you enjoy the journey? Did you pray enough? Did you grow as much as you could have? Did you do your very best with the life God gave you?

I think you should hurry up and invent time travel then! Would really like to know what Abe had to say about our world today…
Corrie ten Boom’s story has always amazed me. I would love to just listen to her speak of her life. I think I could do that for hours.
Interesting post! I’d be curious also to hear what the Holy Mother had to say about raising our Lord
