I am truly tired of politicians, in general, and quite a number in particular, mainly because of their proclivities, extra curricular activities, like paying off a mistress with $121,000. Almost daily, there is another story about those "in charge," living "quite large." They are,  I don't even want to use the "feeding at the public trough" metaphor, but it is so appropriate!

A Democratic congressman, who replaced a Republican congressman, after the Republican was allegedly found to be in "close consultation," with a congressional page, took his replacement duties very seriously. He replaced one alleged proclivity with a more "impressive" proclivity. After promising to "clean up things," he allegedly "cleaned up" with a female staffer, then decided to "separate" from her. He indulged in some rather "salty" exchanges with the mistress/staffer. He told her who was in charge. She, fully versed in her rights, threatened to sue for sexual harassment. The congressman, doing what any congressman flush with cash would do, shared the wealth. Then the news broke, including audio and visual of the exchanges. Sorry about the confusion. The word "exchanges" should be replaced with "conversations."

Now that I have had a "quiet rant," it is time for quiet meditation, time for today's prayer for this nation, prayer that politicians such as the "one hundred twenty one thousand congressman," will see the error of their ways, and repent. This morning as I read the following two verses from Ezekiel, I had no idea how apropos to this story, would be the message.

Ezekiel 36:25-26 (King James Version)
