having dinner with "monty"


9 chickweed lane is one of the comics that i follow every day… it’s mainly about edda, a young girl who until recently was a student at a catholic high school run by nuns, and her mom, who was a professor. yesterday’s comic sorta captures a sentiment that i’ve felt that i don’t think many people share.  both of the guys shown are ministers, and they’re having a heart to heart about what it means to know God.

so the pastor refers to God as ‘monty’, but i think that’s just an extension of my idea - God should be someone i know by name, someone i want to “talk to” at the dinner table, not someone who i make petitions of throughout the day.  i know, i know, multiple friends of mine have said that the faulty assumption behind my premise is that i want to treat God like a person, and not like He’s God, but i still think that there’s something to that - i should want to be as close to Him as that and i shouldn’t let the fact that He’s omnipotent and omnipresent and omniscient put distance between me and Him, but instead it should draw me closer to Him.

in my eyes, that’s done by “having dinner” with Him…
