That reminds me of a novel I read this summer: "Mr. 
Golightly's Holiday," in which God takes a holiday in an 
English village, and muses sadly, an dgrieves about the 
terrible mistake he had made in that business with his son. 
[That is a paraphrase, but close enough I think]. I found it 
an intriguing and somewhat mystifying book, and one I reread.

I wondered if anyone on the list has read this novel and 
would be glad of responses about it.  How JM shows the Father 
is almost always an issue in teaching PL, I find, which is 
the connection for us.
