Bush Plans Mideast Peace Summit Next Week

Shavous (Pentecost) starts the evening of June 5th, and the 6th is the anniversary of Operation Overlord aka D Day. Hmmm I wonder what the D stands for this time around.

SHAVUOT (6 Sivan) - One of the three pilgrim festivals (the others being Passover and Succot) which were marked by pilgrimages to Jerusalem to participate in the special Temple celebrations. It is known as 'The Feast of Weeks' because it falls seven weeks after Passover. It is also called 'The Festival of First Fruits.' Shavuot is a two-day observance (one in Israel). In Jewish tradition it commemorates the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai which took place on this date.

Revelation 9

7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
12 One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.

Amman is Jordan's capital city. It is built on seven mountains and has a fresh atmosphere and cool nights because of high altitude. Amman is a busy commercial center for Jordan with trendy boutiques and colorful bazaars. It is totally modern with many fine hotels and restaurants, entertainment, and sports.

In biblical times, Amman was known as Rabbath Ammon and under Ptolemies, as Philadelphia. It was taken by King Herod in 30 BC and became part of the Roman Empire and a member of the Decapolis, a dynamic commercial league of ten cities.

Isaiah 26:20,21

What's on the forehead, names of blasphemy? Ooops, that would be in Aqaba.

ALWAYS ON MY MIND (Elvis Presley)

Maybe I didn't love you quite as good as I should have,
Maybe I didn't hold you quite as often as I could have,
Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time.

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind.

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times,
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine,
If I made you feel second best,
I'm sorry, I was blind.

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind,

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died,
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied,
If I made you feel second best,
I'm sorry, I was blind.

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind.
