How about getting everyone together for a day of pampering and relaxation.
We all need a day to relax and pamper ourselves from time to time and we all love getting together with our friends and other ladies for a little fellowship from time to time too. Why not put those two things together and have a ladies spa day.

My brethren, COUNT IT ALL JOY when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work; that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
James 1:2-4

I have had something on my mind for a little while now that has been troubling me.

As I was reading through the book of Malachi this morning, that very question popped into my head. Perhaps God was speaking to me personally, or perhaps it's a question that all of us should ask ourselves from time to time. It's GOOD to examine our relationship with God on a regular basis, isn't it?

As I sit at my desk today in the humble surroundings of my office...I should say my bosses office, a wonderful chorus has come to mind. In the little bit of down time I've been given today, the Lord has put a song in my heart. It goes like this...
When I think of the goodness of Jesus,
and all he has done for me,
my soul cries out Hallelujah,
praise God for saving me.

ARE YOU READY? Ready for what, you might ask in return. Are you ready to meet Jesus?
There's a song that speaks about the "signs of the times" that they are everywhere. That's a scary thought to some but to those who are ready, it's hope for a new and better life in the hereafter.

They are people who can't seem to make up their minds of what they want to do, what they want to be, how they want to live.
