John

...was making a model of the second creation story for his religion class in school.  His God looked like a cross between Gumby and Stretch Armstrong.  And Adam's head bore a smile as he emerged potato-shaped from a pile of brown mud. 

I think God as Gumby works just fine -- bendable, malleable, not-fixed.  Big rectangular legs attached to the ground, committed to this place and the people on it.   Long rope-like arms made for reaching out and wrapping in. 

It works, John.  Don't mold God any other way.
