Day 67..."Blemishes...Prayer...Pigs"

Leviticus 21 hightlights blemishes that prevent one from the sanctuary. This reading really puzzles me. It is reassuring to know "warts and all" Jesus receives us. The Psalmist prays a prayer still often used today. Some of us learned the phrase in UMYF..."May God be gracious to us and bless usand make his face to shine upon us." What an eary story as Jesus heals the man in the cemetery. The story of casting demons into 2000 hogs is captivating. How many demons were there? Of all of Jesus' miracles... this one would be among the most talked about!
