I think of it in a "God the Father" setting.
Sometimes I look at my three kids and wonder what life holds for them. Doctor? Lawyer? UPS driver? Crackhead? Prostitute? Murderer? Anything is possible but my love wouldn't change for them regardless. I imagine my incredible pain if their choices lead them to being cut off from me whether physically (incarcerated), emotionally (addiction), or both. I think God views Phelps the same way and is overjoyed to have him back. It's not like Phelps denied God, he just got the message very, very wrong. He isn't the first or last to do that.
