SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY MARK 6:21-29

21 Then the perfect time came for Herodias to cause John's death. On Herod's birthday, he gave a dinner party for the most important government leaders, the commanders of his army, and the most important people in Galilee.

22 When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and the people eating with him. So King Herod said to the girl, "Ask me for anything you want, and I will give it to you."

23 He promised her, "Anything you ask for I will give to you, up to half of my kingdom."

24 The girl went to her mother and asked, "What should I ask for? Her mother answered, "Ask for the head of John the Baptist."

25 At once the girl went back to the king and said to him, "I want the head of John the Baptist right now on a platter."

26 Although the king was very sad, he had made a promise, and his dinner guests had heard it. So he did not want to refuse what she asked.

27 Immediately the king sent a soldier to bring John's head. The soldier went and cut off John's head in the prison and brought it back on a platter.

28 He gave it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

29 When John's followers heard this, they came and got John's body and put it in a tomb.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
