Our youngest daughter, Rachel, is searching the market to purchase her first house. And, of course, Dad is helping her. This is the first time I’ve looked at houses in the last 25 years. And it’s confusing! In case you didn’t realize it, the Sunday Real Estate section is coded! Ron Walters helped me understand the codes below.
If the ad says “quaint,” it really means “old, real old.”
If the ad says “contemporary design,” it means “a converted garage.”
If the ad says “completely remodeled,” it means “since the flood.”
If the ad says “energy efficient,” it means “built near a nuclear power plant.”
If the ad says “near wildlife habitat,” it means “there’s a fire hydrant at the street corner.”
If the ad says “conveniently located,” it means “built on a freeway interchange.”
If the ad says “you’ll love it,” it means “you probably won’t.”
If the ad says “must see to believe,” then it means “must see to believe.” “Caveat emptor”—“Let the buyer beware.”
Thankfully, the gospel was not written in code. Jesus, our perfect model, plainly demonstrated God’s message for us through the way He lived. In stark contrast to the other religious leaders of His day, He took the mystery out of God’s love.
Sunday after Sunday, Steve and I try to take the mystery out of the Bible and make it crystal clear. I’ll be doing that very thing this coming Sunday. My sermon title this coming Sunday is “Friend, I Have to Tell you: You and I Have Something in Common.”
Bring A Friend and an Open Heart,
Dan

Daniel Swarovski gave birth to this big name we now hear of about the finest crystal in the world. Daniel was born in Bohemia then part of an Austro-Hungarian empire. His father owned a small glass cutting factory so he was not new to any swarovski crystal earrings or glass he had knowledge of them since childhood and started his first apprenticeship in his father factory and later apprenticed with other places as well to gain a better experience. Attending an Electrical Exhibition in Vienna for the first time he indulged with electricity and wanted to invent a machine that could efficiently cut glass. In collaboration with his financiers Armand Kossman and brother-in-law Franz Weis started his crystal empire. From there swarovski heart necklace got his first market when crystal became part of evening wear. This became a success because Swarovski had moved from bohemia to Wattens which was place sufficient to provide enough hydroelectricity to run the heavy duty cutting machinery and market here was a good start without any powerful competitors. crystal bracelets swarovski is part of every woman possession no girl or woman would be detached from the craze of jewelry but as in ancient time jewelry was only an essential part of royalty to wear or for the riches.
