In Mark's Gospel today, Jesus meets a a man with an “unclean spirit.” Other Gospels use the term “devil” or “demon.” It matters little what word is used. You get the message: This man is spiritually sick; his demon rules! Jesus confronts that demon and orders that demon out, and – to the wonder and amazement of everyone present, the demon exits. It's interesting that no one else recognizes Jesus, yet this demon does – obviously a clever and insightful demon!News

A video emerges showing US Marines pissing on three Taliban corpses in Afghanistan. The outrage machine grinds into motion. The media bestirs itself from its slumber. Americans momentarily pay attention to the war in Afghanistan again. Politicians rush to add their names to the chorus of identical statements. All inflamed over the least bad thing that soldiers do in war.A God For All Peoples

Through the centuries, a variety of interesting legends have grown up around this feast of the Epiphany. Although the Magi from the east are not named, described or numbered in the scriptures, most legends agree that there were three of them. One particular legend, told to world explorer Marco Polo on a trip to Persia (Iran), described Balthazar as a young man, Caspar as middle-aged and Melchior as a senior citizen (The Travels of Marco Polo, or, the Description of the World, 1298).Meditations
