God as "Co-Pilot"
I had to laugh today- I saw a bumper sticker that said "God is my co-pilot." Actually, I felt more like crying. Since when is the Almighty God relegated to the "co-pilot" status? How nice of you to let him "help" you drive. Yeah yeah I know that is not the intention behind the sticker...but the reality is, the effect to me is: "I am in charge of my life, I am the captain of my own ship. I call my own shots. Only if I decide to ALLOW God to help co-pilot will he do so, and look at how good I am, I let God help me out!!" Oh, the bitter irony of it all...
