What about the whole 'God is my co-pilot thing'? If he's flying right seat then that means you're actually in control of the destiny of both of you, or rather that your free will is influencing the predetermination. Kind of oxymoronic, but oh well. I suppose with this metaphor you could say that you're flying on free will, but every once in a while predetermination steps in and makes the plane crash. Did your co-pilot forget to fill up the fuel tanks?
I kind of like the bumper sticker: "God was my co-pilot, but we crashed in the woods and I had to eat him."
