Maxel Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Ironically, at this time the deceased people I would most like to meet are people I have never met before. In my family, the only immediate member I am actually looking forward to meeting is my great-grandfather George, who I have always felt an unusual connection with (he died two days before I was born, yet my mom speaks so fondly of him it seems I have met him before. I personally think he's my guardian angel :) ). Others are George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, the previous prophets... but no closely related family members. As of yet, no one close to me has died (except for a few pet dogs, which I also am eager to be reunited with). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aranyborju Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I don't really know what to expect because it will be the first time that we will really see eachother as we truly are, and with the veil lifted. I think that a lot of our past baggage and unresolved issues will become instantaneously irrelevant. Just an aside. I like how everyone wants to meet former prophets, presidents, etc. Will it be like a book signing where we can all go up to the table and have 5 seconds to chat it up with John Adams?

I want at least a good 8-10 (Earth) days to hang out with George Washington and Adams and the other founding fathers and hear their first-hand accounts of how 'it' all went down. They could call it 'Maxel week'. Yeah, I like that. I could explain how a proscenium arch works, and they could explain the political sentiments of the times.The rest of eternity I hope to spend with my lovely wife, children, and other family. On that note, I really want to start RIGHT NOW. *Goes looking for a wife* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciouschaos Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I don't care if they are famous or profound or spiritual giants--their job is to meet me, tell me how much they enjoyed watching my foibles and occasional bouts of brilliance and to confirm how much the Lord loves me and that he can't wait to see me and that I am free to enter into the joy....

Hemidakota Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'm not sure anyone here can sympathize with you there!I've never had the pleasure of meeting someone from the other side.I'd like to meet my great grandfather.What I can share is that of my own father who proceeded me in apologizing on raising me as a child. I just reminded him, "...there is nothing to apologize my father." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
