In Matthew's Gospel, the first book of the New Testament, we read of that true account of how WISE MEN made their way to where they could find Jesus, the King of the Jews. Through this Word God has something special to say to us. These were learned men - astronomers - looking for some sort of order - looking for some sort of pattern. There are many today looking for order in their lives - trying to make something out of all the chaos and confusion in life - looking for a pattern worthy of following, and worth being committed to - Jesus Christ is worthy of following. Many are looking for light in all their darkness - and peace from various fears. As they looked - and looked up - GOD SPOKE TO THEM...

Abundance comes in trust. It is the way we look at the world. Do we see plenty or lack? It is the way we treat life...with joy or sorrow. Each has its special place. Abundance is of the mind. Do we expect the gifts of the Magi? Do we expect the joys of life and all its richness? Do we see love where in one sense it may seem a curse? Do we know that God Goddess works in all ways for the good? The Great Spirit showers us with gifts, and sometimes allows a lack to teach us an important lesson. What do we choose with our lives? Is it with the splendor of the unseen worlds, or in darkness do we creep? The ups and downs, the roller coaster of life can make us feel out of control. Do we really have any...

When it comes to arthritis, people are willing to spend enormous amounts of money on any drug that will give them temporary relief. The keyword here is temporary. Consumers and their doctors have slowly accepted that long term relief does not come from prescriptions but supplements for arthritis. Which supplements, you ask? The one recommended by the Arthritis Foundation - omega 3 fish oil. Sufferers of Rheumatoid arthritis [RA] do not need to be reminded of the stiffness and lack of mobility that are caused by the swelling of the joints. Another way to put this is that the pain is caused by inflammation. Eventually this leads to joint degeneration and cartilage deterioration. People have been...

Most churches today teach that there were three wise men who came to see Baby Jesus in the manger shortly after his miraculous birth. They sing the song "We three kings" amongst other songs or poems which proclaim that three wise men came to see Baby Jesus. But is this really what the Bible teaches? Were there really only three, and did they come to the manger to worship Baby Jesus? To be honest, the Bible supports no such teaching at all. It was the shepherds who came to the manger the same night that Jesus was born. The Bible does not say, but the wise men most likely did not visit Jesus 1-2 years after he was born; and they visited him in a house, not a manger. The story is found in Matthew 2:1...

"Perfume counters" are stocked with a wide selection of perfumes intended to accentuate the human scent. Many of these counters are found in pharmacies, fine department stores or online outlets. The expression "perfume counter" is a loose term to define these products since many of these so-called perfumes are really just cheap imitations of the true perfume. Many of these variations are not nearly as pure as the look-alike discount brand version of the designer scent, with a label that resembles the true name brand. What, after all, is a perfume? Essential oils that are extracted from various plants form the base for a perfume. Remember the famous gold, frankincense and myrrh that the Three Wise...

Organic deodorant is almost a controversial topic. Many who want to avoid exposure to the damaging toxins in normal antiperspirants look to organic deodorants for a solution. Specific organic ingredients have been shown to offer excellent odor destroying properties, but few last as long as their conventional counterparts. If you are willing to sacrifice the convenience of a once daily application (depending on your level of stinkiness, of course), there are a few ingredients you can look for in a deodorant that will outlast the others. Most deodorants that are organic that closely resemble their traditional stick form counterparts have a beeswax/vegetable glycerin base. Most often, baking soda is...

For many women today, nail polish is more of a staple than a luxury. Nail polish has been around for thousands of years, and is believed to have been created by the Chinese in about 3000 B.C. They first used a colored lacquer that was made from a combination of beeswax, egg whites, gelatin and Arabic gum. They also used a formula of mashed rose, impatiens petals, and orchid combined with alum. They would apply this mixture to their nails and leave it on for a few hours or overnight. When it was removed, the color it left ranged from pink to red. During the Chou Dynasty, Chinese Royalty used genuine gold and silver on their nails. Black and red were also the colors of choice for centuries. Ancient...

In Lawrence LeShan's book, Alternate Realities: The Search for the Full Human Being, he says, "A reality is real to you when you act in terms of it... It is a valid reality when, using it, you can accomplish the goals acceptable to it." The effects of internal thoughts as a valid reality are often most evident with miraculous cases of healing attributed to the placebo effect or suggestions given during hypnosis. The word placebo is Latin for "I shall please." Often called a sugar pill, its pharmaceutical effects are considered innocuous. The power of the placebo is found in the belief system of the one receiving it. In blind studies which test the effectiveness of a new medication, doctor's often...

Where did you learn how to see. How did you acquire vision. What is vision. Let us look at the actual process of seeing. Before we can see anything, there must be something to look at. So the first step is that something exists. Then that object reflects light. That reflected light is picked up by our eyes, no need to go too deep into the physiology of how the eyes work for now. From the eyes, the image, reflected light, is transmitted to our brain, where it is interpreted. This interpretation is done by the brain taking the image of reflected light and superimposing it on a vast library of other images to find a match. Once a match is found, then the brain knows what it is seeing and classifies it...

People prefer to keep complex data sets in databases rather than in flat files because data can be found and grouped more precisely when it is stored in a database. The ability to draw data out of a database depends upon the ability to structure queries, or requests that define specific records. Structuring queries in Access 2007 is relatively easy because Access is designed to handle many different types of operators. An operator is a special symbol or reserved word that triggers the database to act in a certain way. Access 2007 recognizes several types of operators, including comparison operators, arithmetic operators, logical operators and special expressions such as like, between..and, in, and...

As well as looking beautiful, every bride needs to smell beautiful with an aroma that reflects the charm of her special day. After all, fragrance is romantic and sends a message of love's alchemy to those around her. Aromatherapy, as a title, may have been invented in our time, but the idea of it is as old as the humankind. The Song of Solomon 4:11 says: Your lips drip honey, my bride. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The fragrance of your clothing is like the fragrance of Lebanon. In the Old Testament, nard is named as the symbol of a bride's love. Horace offered to send Virgil a whole barrel of his best wine in exchange for a phial of nard oil for its legendary aroma. Nard is a plant from...
