One day with Jesus

I've always thought to myself how neat it would be to spend a day in the physical presence of Jesus Christ. Now, I know that He's in our presence, but I mean if He were here in the flesh and could walk and audibly talk to you, what would  you spend your day doing? If Jesus said, "ok, today we can do whatever you want to do", what would you and JC do? It's kind of an overwhelming thought when you think about it, because after all, its Jesus. If one of your friends came over to your house you would probably be content sitting and festering in your own boarding, but would you really want to sit and talk on facebook or myspace with Jesus hanging out for a day? Would you take Jesus to Memphis, because thats what we Clarksdale people do to treat ourselves? Would you watch Jesus destroy Rock Band and Guitar Hero on expert because  you know it doesn't challenge Him. Would you ask Him nicely to cook your favorite meal? It would be the best thing you ever put in your mouth. 
Maybe your a little more spiritual than that and you would like to take Him to one of your friends or loved one's house so that He could tell them His story in hopes that they might be saved. Perhaps you would be content with sitting in a quiet room all day and listening to Him retell the Gospels. Could you imagine if Jesus got online with the Halo experts and utterly obliterated their existence. That would be a site to see. Maybe you would ask Jesus questions that you've always wanted to know the answers to; like, what exactly will we be doing in heaven? Will we be singing to You the whole time or will we live in those mansions that were built for Your children? 
I told you this was an overwhelming thought. If you think about it enough you would realize that there wouldn't be enough time in that day to do all the things you desired. But still, I'd be interested in knowing what you would do with Jesus. Please submit your idea and share what you would do if you had one day with Jesus.

The ultimate witnessing tool! I'd introduce Him to all those I know who doubt/don't believe. You would imagine that He would be irresistible in person (although many who encountered Him during His earthly ministry did just that).

I'd just want to be at His feet and listen to Him speak. I love Him so. CC

Now Mrs. C, are you implying that I need medication as in I am random man? Clearly, you have seen the video and have seen that there is no resemblance what-so-ever between me and that crazy loon. What makes you think that I would ever be caught prancing around in public wearing tights and a cape? That is simply ludicrous. However, It is a very clever little gimmick and the students love it.
