Dear Friends, The story of Mary anointing Jesus with expensive perfume was the topic of my Sunday School class recently. Mary’s graphic act of devotion to her Savior led Jesus to proclaim that “wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her” (Matthew
