This isn’t a brag post, but making a point. Read it ’til the end.
You come across people that you think would be awesome to meet, only to realize that they poop just like you.
Yes, I remember the times that I met Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson, 50 Cent, Ciara and Bow Wow. I had it in my mind that it would be a glorious moment, but it was a let down. And yes, most of those people are famous to me because they define hip-hop, but the experience was just “ok”.
Anyways, my favorite “famous” person I’ve ever met has to be Blake Clark, though. He was Farmer Fran in the movie, The Waterboy. He’s done some other roles as well, but that’s the one I remember him the most from. He did that voice for me when we met. Awesomeness.
The words “famous” or “celebrity” are weird because it’s hard to know when that exactly happens.
Some of you would argue that there’s no such thing as a “famous” Christian person, but I’d have to disagree.
The only two people I want to meet now are Billy Graham and Bono. I want to meet Billy Graham and Bono because they’ve done stuff that REALLY matters.
That would do it for me. I have no idea what I’d do…
Probably pee my pants and my mind would most likely go blank.
So, who is that famous person you’ve always wanted to meet and why?
I have to say Joel Houston from Hillsong United!!! I just love the way he writes songs, the way he sings, his creativity, I know is almost impossible… but is a dream I have.. GOD bless you all!
that would be cool

I had the privilege of working at a Billy Graham crusade back in the early 90’s, and while I didn’t get to meet him, it was an amazing experience. He certainly would be fascinating to meet in person.
Like you, I’ve met some famous people too, stuck my foot in my mouth on one occasion too. But as you point out, they are just like the rest of us. And with that, I can’t really think of one that I would want to meet because of their fame.
i’d like to hear about that sometime…
The foot in mouth or the crusade? Both are interesting in their own way.

Would have loved to meet Walt Disney. It amazes me that no matter what opposition or difficulty he was facing, he wholeheartedly believed there was always a way to make any dream come true. Wish I had a fraction of his uber optimism!!
awesome!

Bono is definitely at the top of my list!

I’ve met Mark Hall of Casting Crowns once before. I got to visit his church where he originally started the band and was/is still doing youth ministry. It was great to talk to him about it. He’s a great man of God.
I think now I’d love to meet Perry Noble, pastor of Newspring Church. When he teaches, he says it with plain honesty no holds bar. I like that.
