What Event in History Would You Like to Witness

I came across a question on the Internet and I thought it would be interesting to answer. The question was “if you could have witnessed any event in history which one would you choose?” Little did I realize how hard it would be to come up with an answer. I could think of many people in the past that I would like to meet, however, events were another story.

It took me weeks to figure this out. This question was on my mind throughout the weeks yet nothing came until the other day when I decided that I was not going to give up on this question, but I was going to find the perfect event that I would love to witness.

That day when I was scrolling on the computer, I had looked up the greatest events in history. After I had gone through the list, I sat there wondering why anyone would call those the greatest events in history and thought certainly no one would want to visit those.


Some of the so-called great events of history were the American Revolution, World War I, September 11 attacks (I was alive when this happened. Why would I want to relive this?) and JFK's assassination.

I understand that there were some good things to come out of this, however, why would I want to witness any of this? I mean seriously battles, wars, people getting killed, or seriously injured. There’s no way that I would pick any of these.

I scrolled until I eventually came across a name that I recognized. I just sat there and stared at it for a few minutes and sighed “Jesus.” The first one out of the many people I would have picked. However, at that moment I could not think of any event in history that is more important to me than the life of Jesus. Everything he did and went through.

Jesus is the one person that I would love to get a chance to listen to. The honor of learning from him, knowing him, and helping in any way I could. I know there has to be others out there who would agree with me.

I would enjoy witnessing many events in Jesus’ life; however, the only one that I could not handle is being there when he died on the cross for us. I know that it should be something we rejoice but the idea of him suffering or anyone suffering I don’t think I’d be able to handle.

So what about you? What event would you pick in history to witness, and who would you like to meet?

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper By Jill Sheets Summery came from  http://www.fionaingram.com/ "Continuing the adventure that ended in Britain just a short while ago, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious stones lost centuries ago. The third stone might be located in an ancient city, hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle. When their small plane crashes in the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James are rescued by an uncontacted tribe. James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy, Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to find the city. Riding makeshift rafts on a crocodile-infested river and evading predators are just part of this hazardous task. Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the...

Chit Chatting with Neill McKee

 Chit Chatting with Neill McKee Interview by: Jill Sheets J: Tell us about yourself. N: I guess you could call me a world wanderer from Canada. I was never happy staying in one place, beginning in my early years, as I have described in Kid on the Go! Memoir of My Childhood and Youth. I was a mischievous child and a rebel in my youth, but I began to think differently in senior high school with the help of my English teacher and other mentors. I was rather lost in my university days—didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, until I saw a poster to apply to become a volunteer teacher overseas, much like the Peace Corps in the US, but with no compulsion to escape the draft for the Vietnam War. At the end of the memoir, in 1968, I head off to the exotic island of Borneo in Southeast Asia to teach secondary school, an experienced that changed my life. My award-winning memoir, Finding Myself in Borneo: Sojourns in Sabah, tells readers how it all happened—a maturing experience. It also...

"Adriana" Review

 "Adriana" Review Review by: Jill Sheets I was excited to get the book "Adriana," by Leslie Hachtel and I could not wait to start to read it.  It was worth the wait. I loved this book. I was hooked by the second page. "Adriana" is a descriptive book and a fast read. I quickly fell in love with the characters, especially the main ones. It was not hard to root for them.  I like that the chapters were mainly short, especially with someone with a short attention span. If you like romance books, this one would be a good one for you.
