Let’s say that you won a very special competition and first prize is three minutes airtime on a popular radio station.
What would you like to say?
Would you declare your love to someone?
Would ask people to pray for you?
Would you propose? Or perhaps you would put a call out to someone you are hoping to find.
What would you do with your three minutes on the radio?

Awesome question!
I think I'd probably go off on a little bit of a speech, telling people how much good they could do for one another if we were better with giving compliments. I'd tell people to try to step in another person's shoes before they say hurtful things. I'd tell my family how much I love them, even if I don't show it often. I'd probably give the address to my poetry website too. And if any of my friends needed help, I'd ask for prayer or something to help them.
It'd be a very sentimental 3 minutes :P

hi paula I would try in three minutes to beg people to open'their
hearts to all those homeless who are not drunks, addicts, or loonies and work to find enough jobs to get everyone back into
apartments again. It could be done if enough people all over
the US would band together and just do it. I do not know if my message would touch anyone or do it any good but I could but try. that is just what I would do with my three minutes of fame. lol lol

Hi Paula!
I would like to convey my thanks to the Great God and my parents for helping me winning the competition, if I ever face such a situation.

This is so cool. If I ever get an airtime like that, I would mention my family members names and tell them how much I love them and appreciate them for being in my life, always supporting and caring about me. I would make full good use of the special 3 minutes to dedicate a poem to them as well and requesting the DJ to play a very special song for them later on.

That is a wonderful message. I think we should pray for the troops and their families while we wait for our free airtime, thanks for responding mtdewgurl!

This is difficult, but I think I'd like anyone from my past, especially from the fifties and sixties to contact me and tell me about their life.

That could be very interesting! Maybe you could do that anyway via Facebook. I found two long lost cousins and an auntie I have not seen for at least twenty years. Thanks mipen!

I honestly think that I would ask all the women in the world to join forces and stop the wars and stop the killing of our children. I then would pray and ask all women to join me and pray for the wars to stop now. Simplistic? Oh yes but the power of prayer is incredible

I don't think three minutes is enough! It should be like 15 minutes baby! haha. However, since it's only a radio station I would request that they bring me into a television station and I would tell my message there. I think it's more fun if people are going to see your face :). And while I'm in that particular TV station, I would get as many autographs as I want
