Are you there God? Movie inspires Twin Cities phone calls (http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/3909243.html)
Since the movie "Bruce Almighty" hit the theaters nationwide Friday, Becvar and a number of other people across the country have been getting a lot of calls , because they have the same seven-digit number that God has in the movie.
The number is repeatedly displayed on a pager whenever God (Morgan Freeman) wants to talk to Jim Carrey, who plays a TV newsman.
"I had no idea what was happening," Becvar said. Now she sees it as a "great opportunity to talk about God."
She has even changed her voice message, turning it into a minisermon.
Callers to the number in the east metro's 651 area code will hear Becvar preach: "Looking for God? Well, I'm not him, but I do know him. And knowing him has changed my life. You can know him, too. In fact, it's a local call.
"To get to God, call on Jesus. Jesus said that he is the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to God the Father except through him.
"So, if you want a reconciled relationship with God, your sins forgiven, hope in this world, and eternal life when you die, call upon Jesus Christ and you'll have a direct connection to God. You won't regret it."
