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.)
