August 27, 2012--What Happens in Galilee . . .

All of a sudden we are hearing in the news about guys running around butt naked.

Not just any guys but congressmen and royal princes.

Specifically, Kansas Republican Congressman Kevin Yoder and Prince Harry.

One was just fooling around and the other was having a come-to-Jesus moment.

On the off chance that you haven't been paying attention, let me fill you in first about the prince who's third in line to the British throne.

After behaving like an adult, showing up every day in jacket and tie at the recently concluded London Olympics, on occasion representing his grandmum, the over-encumbered 27-year-old Prince Harry, needed a little R&R.

Where better to jet off to than Las Vegas? Where what happened, unfortunately for Harry, didn't stay there. In the prince's case what went viral on the Internet were nude pictures of him playing strip billiards with a couple of nubile and equally naked babes.

If you must see the photos, they are available at the TMZ gossip website. They're sort of grainy but it's him all right and he looks pretty buff. As for the young women, well, it is Las Vegas after all.

Meanwhile at the Sea of Galilee, Congressman Yoder was romping around without his boxers.

It seems that he was on a evangelical-congressional junket with a dozen or so other GOP House members paid for by the lobbying group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. And when they got to the site at the sea where it is believed Jesus walked on water, after downing a few shots of, I am assuming, sacramental wine, the good congressman stripped down and jumped into the water--presumably not walking on it--so he could, as he later put it, "swim where my Savior walked."

When the story came out he was called to task by the House Republican leadership and apologized, indicating it was the wrong thing to do since America is still a Puritan nation.

It will be interesting to see what the prince feels he needs to say, or is told to say. In his case, maybe nothing because Brits who were interviewed by the New York Times after the pictures circulated didn't seem to have a problem with his antics.

One said, "I think it's quite funny. I'm sure most people would like to be doing exactly the same thing."

Another chimed in--"He should be able to enjoy himself. If I was still a young man, I'd be doing it too."
