On Saturday, June 16, 1973, the sky formed a brilliant blue canopy.  The daisies romped to the rhythm of the sparrow’s song and the noonday sun smiled with delight!  All the earth proclaimed God's praises and the heavens declared God's glory as Gloria White and Ray Hammond established a marriage covenant in God.  He set us as seals upon one another’s hearts. Poised at the threshold of promise, we vowed to love each other as long as the sun reigns over the pyramids and the waters flow through the River Nile.
