CAIRO, Egypt — Archaeologists in Egypt have found what they are calling “definitive proof that carob was as disgusting in ancient times as it is now.” The proof was found in a recently discovered 4,400-year-old tomb in the Saqqara pyramid complex near Cairo. The tomb was covered with colorful hieroglyphs warning against carob, saying that […] Source: https://atoday.org/4400-year-old-tomb-proves-egyptians-hated-caron-too/

Have you ever eaten a meal with people who disliked you? Do you recall a time when warm oil was poured on your head?
Strange occurrences!
We usually share meals with friends, family, or business colleagues – people who love us, want to know us better or want to work with us. Most of us avoid ‘eating with the enemy’.
But God, the Good Shepherd, prepares delicacies for us, as our enemies observe.
Anointing is conducted with warm oil. It is poured over the head or rubbed into the forehead. The…Source: https://adventist.uk/news/article/go/2024-09-26/2153/

I grew up on a dairy farm in Oklahoma, and through the years heard many stories and learned some interesting facts about ranching. One is the timing for calving. Ranchers want their cows to give birth in the spring so the calves can grow and strengthen during the warm months. For that to happen, the bull must be isolated from the herd once the optimal breeding season is over. But it’s very difficult to pull the animal away from the herd, so some ranchers use an innovative approach. They tie the bull to a donkey, knowing the smaller animal will stubbornly insist on returning home—and will eventually wear down the bull! I thought of this recently during a trip to Oregon for our first-ever Adventist World Radio camp meeting. We’re a little like the donkey—setting our single-minded focus toward home. Through God’s grace and His strength, we move forward, “forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, we press on toward the goal to win the prize for what God has called us heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13, 14) Here is a short video where I share this example and some of the recent AWR highlights of what God is doing around the world. Jesus is coming soon! And we must keep pressing forward, compelling others to join us in this journey toward home. Once we’ve led others to Jesus, we’ll never be the same, because there’s no greater joy than seeing lives changed for the kingdom of heaven. Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey
