Have you ever seen the movie, Bruce Almighty? Jim Carrey plays the part of Bruce, a wanna-be news anchor, who for various and sundry reasons, blames God, that he is not. After listening to Bruce complain for a while, God, played by Morgan Freeman, comes to Bruce giving him the opportunity to be God.
For the most part—in spite of some offensive and uncomfortable scenes that I wish were on the editing floor—it’s a pretty funny movie with truth sprinkled throughout. Toward the end of it—the crowning moment of the film—when the character of Bruce comes to the conclusion that he no longer wants to be the captain of his soul, but instead wants God to be God, is where I want to shout out a resounding, “Yes!” For you see, I came to this place just a few years back.
