An Actor's Desire to Meet God

In the Chicago Tribune Magazine actor Kyle Chandler known for movies such as, “Friday Night Lights,” “Bloodline,” The Wolf of Wall Street,” and “Zero Dark Thirty,” was asked a series of finish-the-sentence questions.

One question was, "I'd give anything to meet___."

Chandler answered, "God Almighty. I'd like to share my favorite meal with him, and I'd let him do all the talking."

Such an offer is open to Chandler. Revelation 3:20 states: "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."
