Seasoning

Seasoning racist and bigoted actions with Jesus' name and scripture doesn't disguise or change the flavor of the actions. 

It does make becoming a Christian less appealing to those not like you.

A New Flavor

Have you noticed it, yet?

I don't know...maybe it's just me.

There's something different about the "flavor" of the current House of Representatives Democratic leadership.

Something is happening there...

The speeches have never seemed as passionate, mission oriented, and urgent as they seem to me now. It's like they're going all in to fight for something crucial to this Nation.

Rep. Jamie Raskin:  I honestly love the bite-sized history lessons he drop in his speeches. It's like he's saying, "Let me tell you how we got here or why we do what we do." He doesn't just say stuff, he backs it up with hard, easily accessible facts.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries: The man wades through the fluff, exposing hypocrisy and calling out foolishness.  He then focuses on  what's really important in a way everyone can understand.

Rep. Maxwell Frost: The first Gen-Z member of Congress. He speaks with well thought out and clear common sense, drawing logical lines between points with facts. The first time I heard him speak, my thoughts were if this is our political future, I like it.

And there are more. In the hearings, they are on point, cutting decisively through nonsense and lies. It's like they're saying, "Are we done here? Let's get to work for the people of this Nation."

Maybe it's just me. I didn't pay much attention to politics until the Trump Administration and I saw how it negatively impacted the Church.

Now, I am very much woke to the fact that bad things can happen in powerful places that have far reaching and negative impacts when you don't pay attention.
