Crooked Hands

I follow Beth Moore on X. If you don't know who Beth Moore is, you should. She has been one of the leading women of the Christian faith over the past 30 years. She is engaging, brings humor into her conversations, and leads by example. She wrote the following today on X - "I don't know what to make of prolific people on social media who appear to never have mixed feelings. Who take a certain side, defend a certain position down the line no matter what has occurred. I mean, nothing ever happens to make a person cry foul on their own team? Nothing?? Is there no point when our side has gone too far? I can't comprehend it. Seems to me that is putting way too much confidence in humans. Nobody's always right. The thing about straight lines drawn by human hands is how prone they are to get crooked." The beauty of this quote is that it applies to everyone. It amazes me that so many votes in the US Senate are 53-47. Do you really think you can get 53 people and 47 people on each side to vote the same way all the time? Or at least most of the time? I understand party affiliation. I get it. But it has become too much of a crutch and gives a person too much cover to continually vote along party lines. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents need to think. Contemplate. Linger. And don't always follow the crooked hands of a human.
