Myrrh is a fragrant gum of an Arabian tree, generally used in perfumes.
Aloes, a spice, may have come from sandalwood, a close-grained and
fragrant wood often used for storage boxes or chests. Just extend your
imaginations this is the wedding of the king.

Psalm 55 -- from the Prayer Desk of Rev. Deacon Gary
Nothing hurts more than a wound from a friend. At times friends may need
to lovingly confront you in order to help you, but betrayal truly hurts, and
would cause great anguish.
This happens often with those married couples. They start sweet, but break
up bitter into separation and divorce. They leave their children also in
dismay with a lot of pain. They forget fidelity, till death do us part.

Alert: It may be a new year, but congressional Democrats are planning the
same old sorts of sleazy tactics in their bid to take over America's health

point of pride.

The engineering constructions of the great pyramids remain a mystery and
continue to challenge even the most brilliant mind up to the present. For
me the extraterestial influence is the divine revelations and inspiration
coming from the Father. What do you think?
Psalm 110 From the prayer desk of Rev. Deacon Gary
We have a good time in Egypt. We visited, on our first day, the 3 pyramids,
which is very tiresome getting through its winding corridors. We visited so
many temples and actually we passed those colossal columns with
hieroglyphics writing. Thanks to our guide who explained to us the history
of Egypt and those writtings on the walls and columns in hieroglyphics.
Psalm 42 From the prayer desk of Rev. Deacon Gary
Almost everywhere I went, I found some kind of relationship between
Ancient Egypt and the history of the Old Testament.   During these ancient
times comparatively Egypt enjoyed a quiet and stable regime, which
provided security for its people. I just imagine Abraham with his wife Sarah
a very attractive lady, was abducted to the Pharaohs household, where
Abraham denied she was his wife but a sister. Also Joseph the son of Jacob
was sold to slavery to the Egyptian. In Egypt he rose to prominence
because he could interpret the Pharaoh's dream.

Alert: After insisting for a year that failure was not an option, President

Congress. His tone at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser Thursday
night verged at times on defeatist. Even while saying he still wanted to get
the job done, Obama bowed to new political realities. Democrats no longer
command a filibuster-proof Senate majority, and voters and lawmakers are
far more concerned with jobs and the economy than with enacting
sweeping and expensive changes to the health system.
