"This is that scene."

Deanna left a great comment on yesterday's post about my conflict with my boss--pointing out that different conceptions of God influence how we see other people.

Big Boss sees God as a fearsome father judge who wants our obedience. He told me that God doesn't want us to get too comfortable with him, but to maintain our awe.

I imagine gGod as being more like the gentle hospice nurse played by Philip Seymour Hoffman in the movie Magnolia--here, asking, begging, for help for his dying patient. 

"This is that scene where you help me out."




(I still miss PSH.)
