Are we children?  As I review the recent actions of the American Congress, I'm coming to conclude that, not to be too political, children are managing some of the most significant levers of power at the highest levels of the federal government.

    I cite two incidents.  One, the recent action of the Republicans in the House of Representatives to censure one of its own, Adam Schiff.  Why?  Because Schiff led the work that resulted in the first impeachment of former president Donald Trump.  So now, like children in a playground, the Republicans are "getting even."  Getting even for no other reason than because they can:  like children in a playground.  And many of these Republicans claim to be Christians.

    Two, Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene's recent words to Colorado representative Lauren Boebert.  She called Ms. Boebert a "little bitch."  And she did so on the floor of the House of Representatives, on the floor of the supposed seat of power for the duly elected representatives of the American people.  And Ms. Greene professes to be a born again Christian, telling everyone who will listen that Jesus had changed her heart and life.

    As a Christian, I find such behavior enormously difficult to fathom, much less accept.

    It's a call to wonder:  what difference does Jesus really make?
