I would travel back AND forth in time, like Dr. Who...anyone know that show but me? (I've watched different WHO's through the years...but I like THIS one BEST!) Why? Because try as they might, even if recorded completely accurately, man's best effort still distort events somewhat. It would be amazing to be an eye witness at various events...then propel to an altogether time and place, etc. Never even thought about this before. Maybe after I think I'll give you a different answer!
WHAT ABOUT YOU? Would you travel forward or backward, and why???
Now, that I've given this a moment...if I HAD to choose one moment, it would be when the Lord returns for His Bride...because it gets so painful watching all the hurting in this fallen world. Don't mean to be a downer...but my honest reaction.
