My wife led an overnight sleepover at church this weekend for our elementary ministry. She did an incredible job pastoring and leading the kids — and all while being very sick all week. As everyone who knows both of us always likes to remind me, I’m a very lucky man!
After the day’s activities concluded, the kids stayed up to watch Evan Almighty. While brushing my teeth, I overheard two of the boys talking about the portrayal of God by Morgan Freeman in the film. One said to the other, “I never pictured that God would be a person.” The other replied that he thought it was just because it was a movie. Thoughtfully, the first boy replied, “But what does it mean then that we are made like God?”
