Sometimes you just gotta laugh

Morning: Psalm 71; Leviticus 19:26-37; Romans 14:1-12
Evening: Psalm 74; Luke 8:26-39
Reading Scriptures daily (I hope you will be inspired to) can make you wonder, “Huh?”  St. Paul writes: “Some people believe in eating anything while the weak eat only vegetables.” In the Gospel, Jesus casts demons into pigs; they run off a cliff.  We could argue about what it all means, but “quarreling over opinions” will not help. Maybe the Spirit would rather we smile at life’s apparent craziness, and laugh in the face of our demons; it’s easier than trying to explain these things.  And anyway, in the struggle with evil, I suspect evil cannot bear being laughed at.
