what do you want to be known for?

I don't know about you but my brain starts going when I have finished reading a book or an idea pops into my head where it will occupy my thoughts for a while.
The book was The Shack. Now I never have thought as God as a matronly Black woman who says 'honey' way too much or the Holy Spirit as an Asian woman who one has to squint to see. Now I thought the book was good as it affirmed some thoughts I have about one's P.O.V. of God and neo-theoligical thinking about God as well.
Now I will not ever think as God as a woman just because of several reasons. Back in 1996ish at Bethel College, our campus pastor, Keith Anderson, introduced God as a mother figure. Now I listened and tried to see his point of view but he was wrong. God should not be viewed as a woman just because one's earthly father fails by neglect, abuse, or other things. In fact, God should be re-affirmed as a Father figure because we as dads may have our failings. One should take more comfort in the fact of God as father for strength, a soft-spoken guide, protector, nurturer, loving and firm parent. Most of the arguments I have heard have been along these lines and nothing biblical has contradicted my thinking about how a Father should act and care for one's children.
One of the questions in the book and many of us have heard it before. How do others view you and what would like people to say at your funeral? This is a good train of thought because introspection to how one lives out their purpose of this life is important. Live life, Live it to your standards in the light of God. You stumble and fall. But 'slow and steady' may be the better way to 'run the race set before us'.
I intend to.
