Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

And God bless you.

It's a joy to come into your homes.

We love you.

If you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop by

and be a part of one of our services. I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks so

much for tuning in today, and thanks again for coming out. I'd like to start each week with something

funny, and I should mention this was sent to me from a woman. but according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game,

while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer, male reindeer lose their

antlers at the start of winter in late November. Female reindeer keep their antlers until spring.

This means all of Santa's reindeer from Rudolph to Blitzen had to be female.

She goes on to say, we should have known only women would be able to drag around a fat man

in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

All right. I don't know about you men, but I'm offended. Hold your Bible up. Say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

I will never be the same. In Jesus name, God bless you. I want to talk to you today about developing your pearl.

Pearls are made from irritations and oyster feeds off the bottom of the ocean and occasionally

it will get a grain of sand lodged on the inside. That sand causes the oyster discomfort.
