The sloughing off of the old skin and putting on of the new is a natural part of life for a crab.
It's similar to the cleansing I seek today which is well described by the ancient palmist.
Nothing dramatic. Just a minor transformation.
A minor transformation is my hope and perhaps yours as well.
We can't make transformation happen in DC.
We can't even make it happen in our own heart.
But we can cry out to God for transformation.
Shed the old skin.
Put on new skin.
As individuals and as a nation.
Just beyond our spectacular pride is a tiny glimpse of a way forward.
Let's head in that direction today.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence,
and do not take your holy spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and sustain in me a willing spirit.
-Psalm 51:10-12
