“Why Is He Afraid of God?”
Posted by Chris
Well, as I indicated yesterday, I grabbed the Evan Almighty DVD from Redbox yesterday & we watched it last night as a family. It was as good the second time around as the first! I'm definitely going to have to pick this one up on DVD. The kids loved it, as did Andrea.
At one point early in the movie (not giving anything away) Steve Carell's character (Evan) is faced with God (Morgan Freeman) basically invading his space at every turn (he sees him in his back seat, in the face of a policeman next to his car, as a pedestrian in the crosswalk in front of him, etc.). Obviously, he is completely freaking out! Emerie looks at us, and very matter-of-factly says, "Why is he afraid of God?" like it was nothing for God to be visibly popping into the man's life.
"Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, 'Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.'" Luke 18:16
