Can God create a boulder that is too heavy for him to move?

The matter of free will is not a boulder in a sence the given quote suggests. C.S.Lewis gave a very fitting example of God - Creature relation in that aspect. Imagine some given mother, who, naturally, wants her son's room to be kept in order. On the other hand, she wants him too be independent and act freely. So the duty of making up a room is pronounced a voluntary service. Her son may stop making it up immediatly. So, her will is not fulfilled - room is disordered, yet her is fulfilled - her son expresses his own free will. The general aim is to have a situation, when service is voluntary, yet room is in order
