Meaning of a Boss

What comes to mind when you thing about your boss?

Linda's definition of boss: "I think of someone as being responsible, wise, influential,resourceful and admired."

Well then i checked dictionary.com for their version of a boss
1. "a person who employs or superintends workers; manager. "
2. "a politician who controls the party organization, as in a particular district. "
3. "a person who makes decisions, exercises authority, dominates"
4. "to be master of or over; manage; direct; control. "
5. "to order about, esp. in an arrogant manner. "
6. "to be too domineering and authoritative. "

So which definition would you choose?

When i look at no.5 and no.6., it reminded me of the book Miss Bossy.

My definition is more towards describing character traits of a boss, while the dictionary definition is more towards decribing the job of a boss.

Would you think of God as being your boss?

After all, He is in control over your life. He has more than just the character traits that i descibed. On top of that, He is loving merciful, gracious, generous... ...etc. more than we can ever imagine.

Let's give thanks for a wonderful God!
