Last night an ad for mascara came on TV... and it was OBVIOUS that the actress had HUGE FALSE EYELASHES on.  And the whole 60 seconds had her smiling at us with those HUGE false eyelashes on.  No wonder women feel such pressure.  We go out and buy the mascara and our eyelashes DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT.  It's that way for EVERY MASCARA ad. 

Come on people... let's have a mascara advertising revolt!! Let's demand truth in advertising.  You know?  Like the government requires pharmaceutical companies to do with their medicine ads.   "This medicine will help your knees not to hurt.  It's GREAT knee medicine.  Of course, some side effects include death, heart attack, melanoma, and blindness.  Ask your doctor to give you a prescription."

Cosmetic ads need to be like ads for medicine - "This mascara doesn't do what we say it does, therefore, the model is wearing a pair of $900 false eyelashes in this commerical.  Oh, and by the way, she is wearing the SAME false eyelashes in our advertisting, and in the display at your local Walmart.  The whole thing is a big lie, but PLEASE believe it." 

Once we fix the mascara advertising problem, everything else will just fall in to place - world peace, gasoline prices and the economy.  Just let the mascara do for me what it does for the woman in the ad.........and all will be well.  Thank you very much.

I'm not a meteorologist and I don't play one on TV -  but I can pretty much sense when the winter is over and a new season is arriving.   I can tell when fall is here.  I can feel it in the air, I can see it on the trees.   I know that summer is behind and winter is ahead.  How do I know that?  How do you?

Jesus told us we should be able to recognize the signs of the times.  He says we CANNOT predict the day or the hour of His Coming -  but we should be able to see the signs of the season.  We get off track sometimes, with preachers and teachers who want to tell us where we are in this process.  So we debate if they're correct or not.  But... the one thing that we DO KNOW is that "The Times" will have "Signs".  You KNOW when winter is coming..don't you?   You KNOW that He's coming soon too.. don't you? 

The Times have Signs.   The end Season will be obvious to everyone.  What are the signs of the times. Do you know?  Jesus said that it would be like it was in the days of Noah.  People buying, selling, and just living their lives without a thought to the fact that The Flood was coming.  But.. Jesus said the signs would be obvious.  Truth is that even if our PERSONAL lives are all in order - we have enough money, we aren't ill, we have peace in our homes - we can still "sense" that the world is getting crazier...right?  Right.  Things are getting shaky right?  Right.   The Times may be upon us.   Can you see the signs?  Get ready.   Are you?
