It was Sunday evening and I had just tucked my little ones into bed for the night. Though we’d had an amazing weekend together, I had also had some personal lows. Nothing that wouldn’t work out in time, but I’d been thrown into a bit of a funk.
I tried to relax on the couch with a good book, but couldn’t really get my mind to focus on what I was reading. When this happens, I usually turn to my favorite vice – television – and this evening was no different. Not a whole lot was on, so I checked out what recordings I had on the DVR. Looking for something brainless and funny, I decided to go with Evan Almighty.
The movie was good for a few laughs and some much appreciated bathroom humor, but it also provided some words of wisdom. God (Morgan Freeman – who by the way, does a great job of portraying the God I picture in my mind) is sitting down with Evan Baxter’s (Steve Carell) wife Joan (Lauren Graham) talking about the challenge her family is experiencing:

God: I love that story, Noah and the Ark. You know, a lot of people miss the point of that story. They think it’s about God’s wrath and anger. They love it when God gets angry.

Anyway, those words hit me hard, especially the answers to prayer, and I thought it worth sharing.
Until next time,

Wow, loved it. Thanks for the heads up. Very cool.
