GOODMORNING- SOLOMON PART 1
Song of Solomon 5
1I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
2I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
3I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
4My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.
5I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
6I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
9What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
10My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
11His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
12His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
13His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
14His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
15His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Paul Lewis freed of sex charges
BY HORACE HINES Observer staff reporter[email protected]
Tuesday, June 14, 2011
SAVANNA-LA-MAR, Westmoreland — Tears of joy streamed down the cheeks of United States-based clergyman Pastor Paul Lewis in the Westmoreland Circuit Court yesterday — relieved that he was freed of sex charges involving two teenage girls.
After approximately two hours of deliberation, the seven-member panel of jurors returned with the not guilty verdict minutes to 3:00 pm.

The verdict was greeted with shouts of joy from Lewis’s supporters — who massed outside the courtroom where the in-camera trial took place — and murmurs of displeasure by others, including a policewoman who was heard asking her colleagues “What is the use of DNA then?”
Lewis’s acquittal came two years after he was charged with the carnal abuse of a 15-year-old Westmoreland girl and the indecent assault of her 14-year-old friend in his room at a Negril hotel. He was granted bail in the sum of $300,000, which was revoked earlier this month.
The evangelist had visited the island for a one-week crusade hosted by Fellowship Church of God in Little London. He was nabbed by the police as he stepped out of a motor vehicle outside a jam-packed tent, shocking hundreds of congregants awaiting his appearance.
During the preliminary enquiry last October, one of the complainants changed her statement and the police alleged that Lewis, through an intermediary, offered her money.
Lewis was subsequently charged with perverting the course of justice shortly before his appearance in court.
He is scheduled to return to the Savanna-la-Mar Resident Magistrate’s Court tomorrow when the matter is scheduled for mention.
Yesterday, after his acquittal of the sex charges, the embattled pastor offered praises to God.
“God is good. God is good. The Lord always told me He will never let me down, and he has never let me down. Thank God it is over,” he told the Observer, moments before he was whisked away from the courthouse in a waiting sport utility vehicle.
“He is very happy, very relieved because these were allegations which were hanging over his head for quite some time and he has… the Lord’s work to return to. And I believe he can now move (on) and has started to move in that direction,” his attorney Keith Bishop told journalists.
Bishop also expressed optimism that his client will also be found not guilty of perverting the course of justice.
“We think we will prevail as well when that time comes,” an elated Bishop said.
“We hope, in a positive way, that the authorities might be thinking to withdraw those matters before the court,” he added.
Bishop, who from the outset said he knew that he had a strong case, told journalists that his team did what was required in law to impress the jurors. He added that there were several irregularities presented by the Crown.
“As we indicated earlier, there were plenty of inconsistencies and people flip-flopping,” he said.
The case was presided over by Justice Leighton Pusey.
AGAIN!
NOW DI LAST TIME WHEN DI BABY DID MEK DI WWW…DI MADDA CLAIM SEH A JUS FI DI PARTY………..WELL SHE STRUCK AGAIN!
ABORTION SHOULD BE CONDEMNED ?
It is alive! It is not tissue. It is a child, alive, breathing, heart beating, swimming, sucking the thumb with its little fingers, hiccupping, eyes, and lips – a being with a separate but interdependent existence with the mother.
Abortion depersonalises this baby and makes it into a thing. Once this baby is called tissue, it can be killed without conscience. Still, the baby lives, breathes, eats, swims, plays in the womb of the mother, intimately bound up with the flesh of the mother in a closeness that cannot escape the ‘lifebeat’, heartbeat, moods and feelings of one another. The mother knows that this is a child, that there is life, independent and real, moving within her, yet dependent on her for existence.
In the Charter of Rights just promulgated by the Government, it is stated that there is “the right of every child to such measures of protection as are required by virtue of the status of being a minor”. Also, the child has “a right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived (of it)”. Therefore, the Government must condemn abortion, otherwise it would be Pharisaical.
The fundamental question is, “Is the child in the womb a baby?” If it is not a baby, if it has no life, it can be eliminated. But if it is a baby, if it is alive, killing the child would be murder. It is as straightforward as that. Either the baby is alive or it is dead tissue. To abort it is to kill the baby; it is to commit murder. This must be prohibited by the Government under the Charter of Rights quoted above.
Miracle of life
Very often, people make things more obscure and complicated than they are. This is to create confusion and to rationalise wrong. Recently, Missionaries of the Poor checked, in one day, 16 pregnant mothers of all ages and in all stages of pregnancy using an ultrasound machine. I watched the babies move in the womb; it was nothing short of a miracle! There were the features of little human beings enjoying existence in their mothers’ wombs. The women knew then that this was not mere tissue in their wombs. Some wept to see the miracle of life within their own flesh.
On the other hand, I met a few women who were frenetic after having aborted. They were tormented women, unable to endure the nightmares suffered two years, or one year, after the abortion. They were emotionally unstable, angry and upset, full of regret. Those who advised or pressured them into abortion were regarded as their enemies: the doctors, the parents, relatives, boyfriends, and even teachers.
Better to have borne the difficulties of rearing a child in poverty than to kill the baby in the womb. Better to live with a free conscience than to live with regret of having taken the life of the child of your womb.

“You are pathologically mendacious. You have a pathological condition when it comes to telling the truth. You have misled, you have conspired, and you have deceived the Parliament, the people of this country and the enquiry, this commission, the diaspora, and every Jamaican, and you, Prime Minister, should pack your bags and go.”
Justice Minister and Attorney General Dorothy Lightbourne:
Said Coke’s constitutional rights were breached and she only signed the authority to proceed with the extradition against him in the public interest.

“I now realise that there was, for want of a better term, a web of deception, and Mr Brady was involved in that.”

Told the commission that Prime Minister Bruce Golding instructed him to meet with Manatt representatives in Washington, DC.
“I went to the meeting, as instructed, to lend credence and support to the position of Mr Brady in the matter.”
