I like to do exactly what the scripture says so I washed my face and anointed my head with oil. The problem was that I used anointing oil that contained cinnamon. I smelled great for a while but later, I noticed that there was a red cross burned in my forehead due to the cinnamon. For nearly two days this cross was visible...helpful hint #1...don't use anointing oil containing cinnamon to anoint your forehead.
