...hand gestures that seemed, for our brand of Methodism, dangerously close to dancing. We played Bible tag, memorized the books of the Old Testament and drank gallons of Kool-Aid out of waxy paper cups. Our teachers entertained us so well that we scarcely noticed that with every Popsicle-stick ark they helped us build, they were molding our little souls...
Kids at V.B.S. had "the ultimate experience with Jesus," during which they learned portions of the Psalms and made fabulous and bizarre craft creations. (The "shepherd on a stick" was my favorite.) I am happy to report that I observed incidents not only of Bible-verse spouting but also of sharing and Golden-Ruling galore. Christine Kirkpatrick, 8, told me she understood Psalm 139: 9-10, "If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me fast."

CNN reports that eight to 10 GOPers are still in the "hell no" category when it comes to the big tax cut ? plenty enough to sink the bill when the 211 Democrats and one independent are a sure thing to stick together. Mostly moderates, led by Michael Castle of Delaware, the GOP rebels have a $514 billion cut in mind ?- more in line with what?s moving through the Senate these days (with bipartisan support), and a lot closer to what Bill Clinton might actually consider signing. But House GOP bigwigs like tax hawk Bill...
