Today went by so fast I think because I got up around 2 pm, I had a headache, my neck all stiff, my back hurt, & that was that I didn't even drink. Got up went to church to put the thermostat housing on the church bus, which I think work already it didn't heat up, which was cool. Then took the boys to Peter Piper pizza to get something to eat, then to San Benito Wal-Mart to pick up my wife's contact lenses which they didn't have then I started to feel sick again so weak, & tired again I couldn't believe it, I had just slept. Then got home & couldn't sleep so I was so bored, then I remembered I hadn't read my bible today so I was reading chapter 2 in the book of Mathew, where it says in the first verse there came wise men from the east doesn't say 3 wise men people get it right, he he. Verse 9 tells us when the wise men got there to Jesus HE was a young child, NOT a baby. Verse 11 says that when the wise men opened their treasures they presented to him gold- unit of money & a mineral= frankincense-was an incense to burn, gives off perfume in burning, either in powder or a gum resin= myrrh- it's a well known gum resin, it is used as a perfume or embalming, and as an ingredient of the holy anointing oil. Verse 16 Shows where Herod was mad about the wise men not coming back to tell him where Jesus was at, Herod killed all the 2 years olds & younger in the land. Verse 22 says notwithstanding (inside joke some will get) Verse 23 says how they ended up in Nazareth, that is why HE is called a Nazarene sometimes in the bible. Just a little study as we read the word of GOD. Just a chapter at a time we could break it down some more, but I am trying to just keep it simple.
