Witches on the Road Tonight by Shari Holman

Page 228 One of the main character's indirect eschatological quest leads him to a definition of God that works for him....

I woke up and had a protein breakfast. 2 hours later I had a 2 bowls of cheerios. The thinking being that it is a toast substitute and good for cholesterol. Such rationalization. I ate the cereal to sedate me like a child so I could fall back asleep and I did just that. Now the day is running away. I am hiding. Off I go. To be in kinship instead of service....as Father Greg Boyle says it.
