21 Day Habit: Day 2 LOVE

2009-06-14T15:40:00.000-07:00

21 Day Habit: Day 2
LOVE

So many singers sing about it.
So many writers write about it.
Poets long for it, and heroes die for it.
What is this thing that the world needs now?
Love!

As human beings, we all need to love and be loved. God made us to experience love, and God, the source of love, can fill our need for love as no other person or idea can.

From The Book

Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is born of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God -- for God is love.

God showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
1 John 4:7-11, page 1239

If I had the gift of prophesy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what good would I be? And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, without love I would be no good to anybody. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would be of no value whatsoever.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
1 Corinthians 13:2-7, page 1148

God's Promise

I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.
Jeremiah 31:3, page 768

Action Point

Tell someone today that you love him or her, not with your words but with your actions. Tear up that list of wrongs you've been keeping, and believe and hope the best about those you love. Your feelings will soon follow your actions.

All my love and His from above,

21 Day Habit: Day 1 THE WORD OF GOD

2009-06-13T18:57:00.000-07:00

21 Day Habit: Day 1
THE WORD OF GOD

All of us long to hear a good word - a word of comfort, a word of encouragement, a word of love. We bloom in the environment of positive words, while harsh words cause us to shrivel. Sometimes we say we are tired of words, when in fact we are tired of empty words, of broken words. We long for a life-giving word that will not fail.

From The Book

God is not a man, that he should lie. He is not a human, that he should change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?
Number 23:19, page 172

The word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are.
Hebrews 4:12, page 1210

The grass withers, and the flowers fade beneath the breath of the Lord. And so it is with people. The grass withers, and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.
Isaiah 40:7-8, page 713

God's Promise

Keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And the door is opened to everyone who knocks.
Matthew 7:7-8, page 937

Action Point

Maybe you're not sure about God and the Bible, but you've already taken the first step. So for the next twenty days, tell God you're here and that you're ready for whatever he shows you in The Book.

Jesus said:
"I am the door, if anyone enters by me, he will be saved..." John 10:9.

The Bible says:
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13.

Prayer of Salvation
"Dear Jesus, I believe in You. I believe You are the Son of God, that You died for my sins, and that You were buried and rose again as written in the Bible. I'm sorry for the things I've done that hurt You. Forgive me for all my sins. Come into my heart, take charge of my life and make me the way You want me to be. With Your ever present help, I renounce all my sinful practices of the past. Cleanse my heart with Your precious blood. Write my name in Your Book of Life. I confess You now as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Thank You, Jesus! In Jesus' Name, Amen."

If you prayed the Prayer of Salvation, we would love to hear from you!

Point of no return

2009-05-12T20:43:00.000-07:00

The Point of No Return
May 13, 2009

"Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone." (Hosea 4:17)

Our God is long-suffering and full of mercy, but there is a line which must not be crossed. It is dangerous to presume that God will always continue to forgive; He can become a "consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:29).

The leaders of Ephraim (a collective term for the ten northern tribes of Israel) had passed this point of no return. They had become completely infatuated with the pantheistic polytheism of the nations, being "joined" to their symbolic models of natural forces and all the immoral practices which accompanied such nature worship. The word for "joined" means "fascinated by." They had been brought so deeply under the occult powers behind these nature-god idols as to be irrevocably committed to them, so that it would be a waste of time and tears to try to reclaim them now.

The Scriptures contain many similar warnings. "My spirit shall not always strive with man" (Genesis 6:3). "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind" (Matthew 15:14). "There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it" (1 John 5:16). "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine" (Matthew 7:6). Pharaoh repeatedly "hardened his heart" against God, and finally God Himself hardened Pharaoh's heart (e.g., Exodus 8:15; 10:27). "God gave them up" (Romans 1:24, 26, 28).

These should be sobering words to anyone who is becoming enchanted with evolutionism, or occultism, or any form of pantheistic humanism. As long as such a person has any qualm of conscience, or even any doubts about the pseudo-scientific philosophy to which he is becoming addicted, there is hope that he might yet turn to the true God of creation. To continue in his present course, however, is presumptuous and deadly. The time will come, perhaps sooner than he thinks, when God will say: "Let him alone." HMM

Great is the LORD

2009-05-10T21:47:00.001-07:00

Great Is the Lord
May 11, 2009

"For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens." (1 Chronicles 16:25-26)

This testimony is in the heart of a great hymn of thanksgiving (1 Chronicles 16:7-36) composed by David when the Ark of the Lord was brought back to Jerusalem. It is a testimony of the unique greatness of the God of Israel, with recurring expressions of gratitude for His deliverances and blessings.

This God of Israel was no mere tribal-god or nature-god, such as Dagon, the fish-god of the Philistines from whose hands the Ark had been delivered. All such "gods" of the peoples of the earth--whether wooden images in a shrine, astrological emblems in the heavens, or mental constructs of evolutionary humanistic philosophers--are nothing but idols (that is, literally, "good for nothing," "vanities").

It is Jehovah God who is not only in the heavens, but who made the heavens! It is their Creator who one day will "let the sea roar" and "the fields rejoice," when "the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth" (vv. 32-33).

As Creator and Savior, all His people are exhorted also to "shew forth from day to day his salvation. Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations" (vv. 23-24). Because of His power, the world itself "shall be stable |that is, 'permanently established'|, that it be not moved" (v. 30). This "God of our salvation" (v. 35), and the wonderful heavens and earth He created, will be forever. The psalm ends with the exhortation: "O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. . . . Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever" (vv. 34-36).

Now, if Israel needed such an exhortation, our modern science-worshiping world needs it still more urgently. HMM

Passing the purle hat

2009-05-03T13:20:00.000-07:00

Passing the Purple Hat to You

INhonor of women's history month and in memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer. Pass this on to five women that you want watched over. If you don't know five women to pass this on to, one will do just fine.

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck

(written after she found out she was dying from cancer).

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.?

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, 'Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.' There would have been more 'I love you's' More 'I'm sorry's.'

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute.look at it and really see it .. live it and never give it back. STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what

Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

If you don't mind, send this on to all the women you are grateful to have as friends. Maybe we should all grab that purple hat earlier. Please send this to five phenomenal women today in celebration of Beautiful Women's Month. If you do, something good will happen--you will boost another woman's self esteem.

Conformed to HIS image

2009-05-01T21:36:00.000-07:00

Conformed to His Image
May 2, 2009

"And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." (1 Corinthians 15:49)

One of the most amazing promises of the Word of God is that those who "love God" and are "the called according to his purpose" are those whom "he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son" (Romans 8:28-29).

Adam and Eve were created in His image physically in the beginning. "So God created man in his own image . . . male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:27). Presumably this means they were created in the physical form that God knew He would assume when, in the fullness of time, He would become man Himself, in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ.

That image was marred when Adam (and, in Adam, all men) sinned. Nevertheless, it can be restored spiritually when we receive Christ and "have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him" (Colossians 3:10).

But this is not all. As our text reveals, we who have been made in God's earthly image (both physically and spiritually) will also, in due time, receive His heavenly image. This will take place when Christ returns. At that time, "we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye . . . and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).

In what way shall we be changed? The Lord Jesus Himself "shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body" (Philippians 3:21). His body, after His resurrection, was still His physical body, but it was no longer subject to pain or death and was able to pass through walls and to speed rapidly from earth to Heaven. That is "the image of the heavenly" to which we shall be conformed some day soon! For "we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). HMM

Living Stones in the Holy Temple

2009-04-20T08:33:00.000-07:00

Living Stones in the Holy Temple
April 19, 2009

"And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house. . . . And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building." (1 Kings 5:17; 6:7)

The building of Solomon's temple was one of the most remarkable construction operations in history. Much of the temple's legendary beauty was attributed to the great stones--beautiful and costly stones, quarried from beds of white limestone--which were used in its construction.

Probably the most remarkable feature of its building was the fact that each stone was carefully cut and dimensioned while still in the quarry, so that the temple itself could be erected in silence, with each stone fitting perfectly in place as it came to the temple site. The temple, as the structure where God would meet with His people, was considered too sacred to permit the noise of construction during its erection.

In the New Testament, the physical temple is taken as a type of the mighty house of God being erected by the Holy Spirit. "|Ye| are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit" (Ephesians 2:20-22).

Each believer is like one of the beautiful temple stones, so costly that the price was the shed blood of Christ Himself. Taken out of the great pit of sin by the Holy Spirit, each person, one by one, is being placed quietly in the great spiritual temple. "Ye also, as lively |i.e., living| stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 2:5). HMM

So Great Salvation

2009-04-18T08:14:00.000-07:00

So Great Salvation
April 18, 2009

"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him." (Hebrews 2:3)

One of the greatest words of the Bible is "salvation," and one could expound its glories at length. Our salvation is so costly that its price was nothing less than the shed blood of the Son of God. "Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, . . . But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" (1 Peter 1:18-19).

Nevertheless, there are only three verses in the New Testament in which the word is preceded by an adjective. These three descriptive terms are, therefore, very significant. The first of these is the one in our text--"so great" salvation. The adjective here is used only one other time in the New Testament, where it is translated "so mighty" (Revelation 16:18), describing a cataclysm so great that every island and mountain will disappear from the earth!

Not only is our salvation infinitely costly, but unlike everything else in our lives, it is unending: "And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him" (Hebrews 5:9). Salvation is not merely the impartation of a better life in this life; it is everlasting life in the future life, in the presence of its divine "author" (or "cause").

The third adjective is quite different. "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation" (Jude 3). Our salvation is also common! This same word is applied by Paul to "the common faith" (Titus 1:4). Basically, it means "oridinary." Thus, despite the infinite and eternal values associated with our great salvation, it is also very common and ordinary! Salvation is for anyone, and whosoever will may come! HMM

Beautiful

2009-04-15T21:45:00.000-07:00

Beautiful

I am beautiful
Not only because of the curve of my hips
Or the shape of my body
Not only because of the fullness of my lips
Or the curl of my eye lashes

I am beautiful because I want to be
I am beautiful because God made me that way
I am beautiful because in my eyes
There is no one more beautiful than me

I am beautiful because I have a heart
And that is a beautiful thing
I am beautiful because I have a brain
And that is a beautiful thing
I am beautiful because I give advice
And that is a beautiful thing

I am beautiful because I want to be
I am beautiful because God made me that way
I am beautiful because in my eyes
There is no one more beautiful than me

I am beautiful because I have confidence
I am beautiful because I have determination and wit
I am beautiful because I have goals and I plan to reach them
I am beautiful because I am always there to lend a helping hand

I am beautiful because I want to be
I am beautiful because God made me that way
I am beautiful because in my eyes
There is no one more beautiful than me

Your personality has no influence

2009-04-14T20:50:00.001-07:00

Your personality has no influence over God's call on your life
Your personality has no influence over God's call. He created each of us with very unique personal traits, but these traits do not pave the road to your future. It's interesting to note that no where in scripture do the gospel writers say, "Peter was extroverted, humorous, and a night owl" or "Paul was introverted, a thinker, and was outdoorsy." In fact, we know very little about the disciples’ personal traits and what we do know was often in direct conflict with their call.

The call to follow Christ will offend all of us equally. If you are introverted, then "Go and make disciples of the nations" will be difficult for you. If you are outgoing, then "love is patient" is going to test your soul. If you are competitive, then "turn the other cheek" will humble you. If you are a planner, then "the righteous will live by faith" will seem impossible. God will call each of us to do what seems unnatural to see if we are living for ourselves or for Him.

You have no excuse not to follow God because of your personality or inner convictions. He created you; He knows what is inside of you. He is using the difficult moments of our lives to remind us that Christ is our compass, not our own hearts. When your personality becomes so flexible and fluid that God can use it in any situation, only then you are becoming more like Jesus.

with all the blame as to who is responsible

2009-04-13T08:18:00.000-07:00

With all the blame as to who is responsible for the death of Jesus, who really did kill him?

- J.T.M., Highland Beach

The fact that so many struggle with the question simply means that they don’t understand the answer. Jesus said: No one takes it away from me. I give my own life freely. I have the right to give my life, and I have the right to take it back. This is what my Father commanded me to do." (John 10:18 ICB)

Christ’s death was a necessary ingredient in the redemption of mankind from Adam’s first act of disobedience: Sin came into the world because of what one man did. And with sin came death. And this is why all men must die--because all men sinned (Romans 5:12).

Christ’s death was a plan put into place from before time began (Revelation 13:8). It was God’s solution to sin: Christ had no sin. But God made him become sin. God did this for us so that in Christ we could become right with God (2 Corinthians 5:21).

The horrifying truth is that since we are all guilty of sin, we all killed Christ: All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53:6).

Easter What is it all about?

Resurrection Demanded
April 12, 2009

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit." (1 Peter 3:18)

Humanity must be resurrected. This is not an incidental "religious" issue: "But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen" (1 Corinthians 15:13).

Resurrection is required for the believer to enter into eternity (1 Corinthians 15:50) and the non-believer to know punishment in hell.

There are different kinds of "flesh" and other "living" creatures that do not take part in the resurrection, all of which are specifically separated from the "celestial" creation like stars and angels (1 Corinthians 15:39-40).

The earthy image of flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 15:50). God requires a change from the physical to the spiritual; from the temporal to the eternal. Physical death is an intrusion into the perfect order of the original creation (Genesis 3:19) and a great enemy that will be destroyed (1 Corinthians 15:26).

Resurrection is necessary to correct this awful distortion of the "very good" that God created and is the absolute opposite of physical death. Corruption must become goodness. Dishonor must become glory. Weakness must become power. And the natural must become spiritual.

Jesus Christ made that change possible, proven by His resurrection from the grave (Acts 17:31). The gospel insists on the birth from above (John 3:3) that makes a transfer from death to life (John 5:24)--the new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) that will ultimately consummate in "all things" being made new (Revelation 21:5).

We await the fulfillment of that promise when we will be freed from the curse of death. HMM III

Taste & see that the LORD is good

Steamed salmon with spices

2009-03-29T06:34:00.000-07:00

This is my favorite way to eat salmon always moist and delicious
I take a big salmon fillet like a whole salmon piece and I steam it for like 17 Min's in a steamer with Mrs. Dash(the spice) heavy coated all over top of salmon. It is great you can serve with rice and veggies. Also good with a salad first and put on top of stir fry veggies.
Healthy and delicious

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you've got anyway.

There are many great and precious promises in the Bible

2009-03-28T22:26:00.000-07:00

There are many great and precious promises in the Bible. In the Book of John
Chapters 14, 15 and 16 we are told by the Lord that God will give us what we
ask for in the name of Jesus. In Matthew chapter 7 we are told to "Ask, and
it shall be given you." The 37th Psalm tells us that He will give us the
"desires of our heart."

Today, I want to give you a promise in the Bible that will literally
transform your life. They are 6 words spoken by Jesus that can make all the
difference in your life this very moment. Individually, they are just 6
common words. But put together as they were by our Lord, they give us one of
the greatest promises we have in God's Word. This is YOUR promise today!

"ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD." (Mark 10:27)

That means if you are sick in your body, God can heal you! That means if you
need a financial miracle, God is your source! That means if your marriage is
in trouble, God can restore it! That means if you need a job, God can open
the doors for employment! That means if you are in some form of bondage, God
can set you free! That means if your children are away from God, God can
bring them home! That means if you have lost a loved one, God can ease the
pain! No matter what your need is today, God is able to meet that need!

YOUR promise today is 6 words from Jesus, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!

I want you to take a moment right now, and pray about the most important
thing you need from God today. There is not one person who is reading this
that doesn't need something from God. If you could ask God for anything,
anything at all, what would it be? The fact is, you CAN ask God for
anything, you have been told in His Word to ask for anything, so now it is
time.

I want you to focus on the one thing that you want from God and pray this
simple prayer. "Dear God, I know that your Word is true, and I believe today
that all things are possible with You. I want (insert here the one thing you
want from God). In Jesus name, AMEN!"

I love you and care about you so much. Now is the time to make your faith
real and believe God's Word. There is nothing wrong in your life today that
God can't fix. I want you to know that I will be standing in agreement with
you for the one thing that you have asked God for today. I am believing with
you for that need you prayed for to be met. Remember God's promise for you
today, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Once upon a time, a friendly, ambitious woman went into a beautiful store with a reputation for quality merchandise. She said to the owner, “Sir, I would like to work for you. I'll work hard. I'll do a great job, but I ask the following in return:”
1.For everything I sell, I want to keep 50% as my commission.
2.I will get others to sell for you too, and I want to be paid commission on everything they sell forever, say 5% to 15%.
3.I want to work my own hours and have no quotas, so that sometimes I can work a lot, but sometimes, I'll take off for a day or two…or a week…or even longer…whenever I want to.
4.My family must always come first.
5.When I do well, I want ample recognition and good bonuses… not meaningless little things but things like Gold and fine jewelry.
6.I want to be able to promote myself to management entirely through my own efforts if I want it, not because you want me to. My promotions must include meaningful salary increases.
7.I would also like an annual Luxury Vacation, all expenses paid by you, of course. And if I work really hard, my husband or friend can come too.
This is what I would like; can you give me these things?” The store owner was in shock! Finally, he began to laugh, and in a condescending tone said, “No, I can't give you even one of these things you asked for. And I'll bet that you won't find such an opportunity anywhere!
BUT WE IN COOKIE LEE KNOW THAT THERE IS SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY!!
IT’S HERE WITH COOKIE LEE!!!
It’s great to be your own boss!

Cookie Lee Independent Jewelry Consultant
www.Dianasdeals.com

I LOVE this business!
Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant.
First, anyone can sell Cookie Lee jewelry. In fact, you will find that the jewelry practically sells itself…if you can wear it, you can sell it! Most everyone loves to wear nice jewelry, but not everyone can afford the expense. Now you can help your friends, family, business acquaintances and others to enjoy wearing designer-inspired jewelry at affordable prices.
There are several ways to begin selling Cookie Lee Jewelry. Attached, you will find a sheet detailing the two different Start-Up Costs. Once you make your initial minimum order, you will enjoy the immediate benefit of earning a 50% gross profit on all your retail sales.
Because there is no “pre-chosen” package or kit of jewelry, you can choose those jewelry items that you want to sell (or keep for yourself). Your decision should be based on what fits best with your personal goals and your budget. A good rule to follow is if you would like to carry some inventory and start holding home parties/shows, then the Best Value Option 2 would be better than Option 1.
Once you decide which option you want to go with, you simply need to complete the Consultant Agreement. If you are near one of our showroom/distribution centers, you can choose your jewelry from thousands of items and take it home with you that day! You'll get your tote bag full of your training materials, a tour of the facility and meet our fabulous support staff.
Our showroom locations are:
Irvine, CA Las Vegas, NV
Phoenix AZ Riverside, CA
San Diego, CA Seattle, WA
Salt Lake City, UT Detroit, MI
Sacramento, CA Portland, OR
Please note that showrooms are NOT retail stores and are NOT open to the public. Only consultants may shop at the showrooms which are filled with thousands of pieces of Cookie Lee’s jewelry! If you're not near a showroom city, then our web site affords you the opportunity to order online and have your items shipped right to you.
The company growth of the past few years has been phenomenal and YOU can be a part of it too! Of course, I am happy to discuss any details or questions you have in making your decision to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. I will check back with you after you have had an opportunity to review all this material. I look forward to welcoming you to my team!
Thanks again and God Bless,

My Cookie Lee Story
I decided to sign up with Cookie Lee because I have always loved jewelry. When I started talking to my girl friend, another cookie lee member, and she told me about the opportunity, I couldn't believe the 50% profit. When I looked at the jewelry, I was even more impressed. It was absolutely the kind of jewelry I would wear, and not only that, it was jewelry that I knew my friends and family would wear as well! I had recently lost my job, and was looking for some way to make some extra money (Our company does not have quotas or minimum order requirements.) It took me about a month to get up the money and orders together to join, but I managed to get it all together,it was an amazing experience! All that jewelry, right at my fingertips! I wanted to get it all!
There are two ways to earn money in Cookie Lee: #1 sell jewelry and #2 build a team. There is no requirement to build a team, but if you want to, it is a way to earn money (residual income) each month while not selling jewelry. Last year one of (our up line) “team” commission checks totaled over $65,000. And, I earn money selling jewelry too!
Want to earn a car? Cookie Lee pays for the lease each month on a Mercedes Benz! Build a team and earn your car!
YOU CAN EARN FREE TRIPS TOO… Cookie Sisters have earned all expenses paid trips on an Alaskan Cruise, a Club Med trip to Cancan, a Hawaiian Cruise, a trip to Turks & Caicos and this year they are headed to Jamaica and Arizona! The trip you can this year is to Waikiki, Hawaii - you have all of 2008 to earn free tickets.
Our History
Driven by her desire to have a business that allowed her to be at home with her children, Cookie Lee began selling jewelry to her friends and family in 1985. As her business grew, she recognized that selling Cookie Lee jewelry could empower other women to build a business of their own. So, in 1992, Cookie Lee jewelry was offered as a direct sales company to the public.
Cookie Lee has a reputation for offering the latest in affordable, high quality fashion accessories. Inspired by contemporary and classic designs, Cookie Lee jewelry is delivered directly to customers through home shows, office shows, fundraiser's and personal shopping by an ever-growing base of independent consultants.
Whether you are shopping for jewelry, want to share Cookie Lee with friends and family at a home show, or see the opportunity to start a business with a progressive, fast-growing company, Cookie Lee jewelry offers something for everyone.
The Company Is Growing!
We Need All Types Of Consultants!
Which One Best Describes You?
“HOBBY CONSULTANT”
Holds 1 show a week and has a ton of fun!
“PART-TIME CONSULTANT”
Holds 2 shows a week (much like a part-time job) and may consider building a team in the future.
“FULL-TIME” CONSULTANT”
Holds 3 shows a week and treats Cookie Lee as a serious career and business by building her own team and selling jewelry.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO I BOOK HOME PARTIES/SHOWS?
Your number one key to a successful start is to ASK everyone you know to help you as you launch your new business. Concentrate first on your family and immediate circle of friends. Your goal will be to hold 6 home shows in your first 4 to 6 weeks. Work you business according to your weekly home show goals.
Carry your tote bag and wear your jewelry every day. When holding shows, simply ask each person as you write up their order, “Would you like to get your most expensive item at half price tonight by holding your own girls night home show?”
HOW WILL I GET TRAINED?
Your up line team includes consultants who are here to help you. When you are part of my team, training is bountiful! There are conference call training's once a month; unit meetings once a month, management conference call meetings once a month; individual training's to get you off to a good start; an introductory/training show; and our very fun Quick start to Success classes. We pride ourselves on being the best trained unit in Cookie Lee!
HOW DO I CONDUCT A FUNDRAISER?
A fundraiser is a jewelry show where a percentage of the profit is donated instead of free jewelry. The percentage amount that is donated is completely up to you. Establish a percentage that you are comfortable with and stick with it so you are not giving different percentages to every organization. A good rule of thumb is 20%. A fundraiser can be done at home or in a business setting. A hostess may opt to raise money for a particular cause instead of taking the free jewelry.
There are many ways to structure a fundraiser but one thing that will ensure success is participation. Giving individuals who are involved with the cause a minimum amount of orders to turn in is a great way to get sales increased and everyone excited. For instance, if you have each member of a group responsible for 10 outside orders before the event, this will increase the total of the fundraiser and make everyone part of the event.
Also giving a separate cash donation (i.e., $10.00 or $15.00) for each home show booked increases the fund’s money, but also creates more business for the consultant. If the event is going to have a large attendance, you might use a separate table to take orders only. In other words, have a cash-and-carry table and an order table. For very large events, you may want to enlist the help of a family member (or possibly someone from the fundraiser) to help take cash or credit cards for items at the show, while you write up orders for other items not immediately available in your inventory.
ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY QUOTAS TO MEET?
No. A wonderful thing about Cookie Lee is that as a Consultant you can buy one pair of earrings and still receive the same discount of 50%. The company requires that for you to remain an active consultant, you must purchase a minimum of $300.00 wholesale per calendar year and you can do this an item at a time since there are no minimum order requirements. When you have achieved a management level by recruiting others into your organization, there is a minimum monthly purchase required for you to receive your commission check. However, there is no requirement to recruit; you can work this business as you see fit.
HOW DO I PAY MY HOSTESS AT THE END OF THE SHOW?
Your hostess is paid in free jewelry and ½ off jewelry, not cash. Ideally, you want to encourage her to pick out her free jewelry from your table, but if there is something that she wants that you don't have you must order the item(s) from the showroom.
HOW MANY PIECES WILL I GET WHEN I SIGN UP UNDER OPTION 2 – BEST VALUE?
On average, you will get between 50 and 60 pieces depending on the cost of the items that you choose.
WHAT COMES IN MY FIRST KIT?
Essentially, we do not have a “kit”. Your inventory items are picked exclusively by you with your sponsor’s help. Remember a very important thing about your inventory – it is IMMEDIATELY SALEABLE. Therefore, you can recoup your investment very quickly.
Along with your inventory you will receive business supplies, training CDs and DVD's. In addition, all jewelry comes in a clear plastic bag and is tagged for immediate sale.
CAN I RETURN WHAT I DON'T SELL?
No. Eventually all our beautiful jewelry sells. The company will repair or replace any jewelry that has a manufacturer defect for a year from it’s sold out date. And there is a repair department in each showroom or you can simply mail the jewelry to be repaired to the corporate office in Irvine, CA.
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EARN?
The amount of money you earn is entirely up to you. It is based on your effort and willingness to work the business. Your net profit from the sale of the jewelry is 50%.
HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SELL AT AN AVERAGE SHOW?
My experience has been that the average home show is usually around $400 to $500 in retail sales...your profit would be half that. This amount tends to increase during the busy fall season when people are shopping for holiday gifts.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPONSOR SOMEONE?
You will become someone’s sponsor by signing her up to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. Your job as a sponsor will be to mentor and train your new consultant. Once you become a sponsor you will receive commission on your consultants’ wholesale purchases directly from Cookie Lee on the 15th of each month.

Spiritual Cleanliness

Spiritual Cleanliness
March 27, 2009

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess." (Matthew 23:25)

Three of the eight "woe's" in Matthew 23 deal with a particular aspect of spiritual cleanliness. This one seems to emphasize personal cleanliness. The next verse amplifies the thought: "Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also" (Matthew 23:26

).

The emphasis is on the internal heart. The biblical principle is very clear. If our hearts are not right, our lives will not be righteous. If what is "inside" is not clean, the "outside" will never be clean. Perhaps a list of the more obvious Bible references will help refocus our commitment.

• "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23).

• "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things" (Matthew 12:34-35).

• "Circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God" (Romans 2:29

).

• "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart" (2 Corinthians 3:3).

May our "cup and platter" be as clean as God's holiness is able to make it and "let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price" (1 Peter 3:4). HMM III

All my love and His from above,

Attention Players:this is your 24 hour guide

Attention Players: This is your 24 Hour Guide

Disclaimer: This article is intended for all the players and pimps. In other words, the inebriated, bottom-dwellers who only think they are men.

First of all, Mr. Hate-the-Game-Not-the-Player, put you shirt back on. We're not impressed with your chest, and regardless of what you think, those aren't abs. They're ribs. That's what happens when you sniff your breakfast in the morning. So, do all of us a favor and quit strutting around half-naked like your God's gift to women. The only person that is paying attention to you is you.

And quit saying you're a "playa"--you're a "player." If you are going to live in this country, try to at least learn our language. Ebonics isn't a language, and it's not cool, hip, or fly to act like you have the vocabulary of a kindergartener. Just because you can impress middle school girls does not make desirable. In fact, it makes you pathetic. I'd rather clean the pan under my refrigerator than hear your "Hit it and quit it" strategy for getting girls.

Speaking of quitting, quit acting like you lived the hard-knocked life, grew up on the streets, and fought your way to success. You grew up in the Hamptons, and the reason you are wearing $200 designer jeans is because Daddy is paying for them. We don't doubt you have money, but we all know it isnt yours. It takes all the skill and intelligence of Spam to have your parents support you when you are 28. You could probably pay your own rent, but your day job working the drive-thru at McDonalds just won't cut it.

We get it--you want sex not intimacy, quickies not quality, lust not love. You drive a big truck, have big bucks, and sport a big ego. I'm sure its all done to compensate for that "little" problem you have in those designer jeans. If you constantly talk about getting laid and getting drunk in the bar, it is usually a good indicator that you have zero confidence and the spine of a jelly-fish. Let it go. We're not impressed.

And just because you dress like a celebrity and hang out with them doesn't make you important. In fact, most of our celebrities aren't important, either, and yet they still wont even give you the time of day. Is it any surprise that most women would rather lick the tire of a farm tractor than give you a kiss? Who knows where your mouth has been.

And one more thing--if you cross, bad-mouth, or intimidate those who demonstrate faith or desire real love one more time, I'm taking the gloves off. You can brag about your threesomes and porn parties all you want, but if you mess with God's people one more time then I'm calling Guido and we are going to turn into six feet of lumps. We won't hesitate to fit you for cement shoes--let's see how smooth you are trying to moonwalk at the bottom of the Potomac.

Real men don't need to rely on sex or money to get a girl's number. We have that one thing you'll never have--class.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

Once upon a time, a friendly, ambitious woman went into a beautiful store with a reputation for quality merchandise. She said to the owner, “Sir, I would like to work for you. I'll work hard. I'll do a great job, but I ask the following in return:”

1.For everything I sell, I want to keep 50% as my commission.

2.I will get others to sell for you too, and I want to be paid commission on everything they sell forever, say 5% to 15%.

3.I want to work my own hours and have no quotas, so that sometimes I can work a lot, but sometimes, I'll take off for a day or two…or a week…or even longer…whenever I want to.

4.My family must always come first.

5.When I do well, I want ample recognition and good bonuses… not meaningless little things but things like Gold and fine jewelry.

6.I want to be able to promote myself to management entirely through my own efforts if I want it, not because you want me to. My promotions must include meaningful salary increases.

7.I would also like an annual Luxury Vacation, all expenses paid by you, of course. And if I work really hard, my husband or friend can come too.

This is what I would like; can you give me these things?” The store owner was in shock! Finally, he began to laugh, and in a condescending tone said, “No, I can't give you even one of these things you asked for. And I'll bet that you won't find such an opportunity anywhere!

BUT WE IN COOKIE LEE KNOW THAT THERE IS SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY!!
IT’S HERE WITH COOKIE LEE!!!

Cookie Lee Independent Jewelry Consultant

I LOVE this business!

Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant.

First, anyone can sell Cookie Lee jewelry. In fact, you will find that the jewelry practically sells itself…if you can wear it, you can sell it! Most everyone loves to wear nice jewelry, but not everyone can afford the expense. Now you can help your friends, family, business acquaintances and others to enjoy wearing designer-inspired jewelry at affordable prices.

There are several ways to begin selling Cookie Lee Jewelry. Attached, you will find a sheet detailing the two different Start-Up Costs. Once you make your initial minimum order, you will enjoy the immediate benefit of earning a 50% gross profit on all your retail sales.

Because there is no “pre-chosen” package or kit of jewelry, you can choose those jewelry items that you want to sell (or keep for yourself). Your decision should be based on what fits best with your personal goals and your budget. A good rule to follow is if you would like to carry some inventory and start holding home parties/shows, then the Best Value Option 2 would be better than Option 1.

Once you decide which option you want to go with, you simply need to complete the Consultant Agreement. If you are near one of our showroom/distribution centers, you can choose your jewelry from thousands of items and take it home with you that day! You'll get your tote bag full of your training materials, a tour of the facility and meet our fabulous support staff.

Our showroom locations are:
Irvine, CA Las Vegas, NV
Phoenix AZ Riverside, CA
San Diego, CA Seattle, WA
Salt Lake City, UT Detroit, MI
Sacramento, CA Portland, OR

Please note that showrooms are NOT retail stores and are NOT open to the public. Only consultants may shop at the showrooms which are filled with thousands of pieces of Cookie Lee’s jewelry! If you're not near a showroom city, then our web site affords you the opportunity to order online and have your items shipped right to you.

The company growth of the past few years has been phenomenal and YOU can be a part of it too! Of course, I am happy to discuss any details or questions you have in making your decision to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. I will check back with you after you have had an opportunity to review all this material. I look forward to welcoming you to my team!

Thanks again and God Bless,

My Cookie Lee Story

I decided to sign up with Cookie Lee because I have always loved jewelry. When I started talking to my girl friend, another cookie lee member, and she told me about the opportunity, I couldn't believe the 50% profit. When I looked at the jewelry, I was even more impressed. It was absolutely the kind of jewelry I would wear, and not only that, it was jewelry that I knew my friends and family would wear as well! I had recently lost my job, and was looking for some way to make some extra money (Our company does not have quotas or minimum order requirements.) It took me about a month to get up the money and orders together to join, but I managed to get it all together,it was an amazing experience! All that jewelry, right at my fingertips! I wanted to get it all!

There are two ways to earn money in Cookie Lee: #1 sell jewelry and #2 build a team. There is no requirement to build a team, but if you want to, it is a way to earn money (residual income) each month while not selling jewelry. Last year one of (our up line) “team” commission checks totaled over $65,000. And, I earn money selling jewelry too!

Want to earn a car? Cookie Lee pays for the lease each month on a Mercedes Benz! Build a team and earn your car!

YOU CAN EARN FREE TRIPS TOO… Cookie Sisters have earned all expenses paid trips on an Alaskan Cruise, a Club Med trip to Cancan, a Hawaiian Cruise, a trip to Turks & Caicos and this year they are headed to Jamaica and Arizona! The trip you can this year is to Waikiki, Hawaii - you have all of 2008 to earn free tickets.

Our History

Driven by her desire to have a business that allowed her to be at home with her children, Cookie Lee began selling jewelry to her friends and family in 1985. As her business grew, she recognized that selling Cookie Lee jewelry could empower other women to build a business of their own. So, in 1992, Cookie Lee jewelry was offered as a direct sales company to the public.

Cookie Lee has a reputation for offering the latest in affordable, high quality fashion accessories. Inspired by contemporary and classic designs, Cookie Lee jewelry is delivered directly to customers through home shows, office shows, fundraiser's and personal shopping by an ever-growing base of independent consultants.

Whether you are shopping for jewelry, want to share Cookie Lee with friends and family at a home show, or see the opportunity to start a business with a progressive, fast-growing company, Cookie Lee jewelry offers something for everyone.

The Company Is Growing!
We Need All Types Of Consultants!
Which One Best Describes You?

“HOBBY CONSULTANT”
Holds 1 show a week and has a ton of fun!

“PART-TIME CONSULTANT”
Holds 2 shows a week (much like a part-time job) and may consider building a team in the future.

“FULL-TIME” CONSULTANT”
Holds 3 shows a week and treats Cookie Lee as a serious career and business by building her own team and selling jewelry.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I BOOK HOME PARTIES/SHOWS?
Your number one key to a successful start is to ASK everyone you know to help you as you launch your new business. Concentrate first on your family and immediate circle of friends. Your goal will be to hold 6 home shows in your first 4 to 6 weeks. Work you business according to your weekly home show goals.

Carry your tote bag and wear your jewelry every day. When holding shows, simply ask each person as you write up their order, “Would you like to get your most expensive item at half price tonight by holding your own girls night home show?”

HOW WILL I GET TRAINED?
Your up line team includes consultants who are here to help you. When you are part of my team, training is bountiful! There are conference call training's once a month; unit meetings once a month, management conference call meetings once a month; individual training's to get you off to a good start; an introductory/training show; and our very fun Quick start to Success classes. We pride ourselves on being the best trained unit in Cookie Lee!

HOW DO I CONDUCT A FUNDRAISER?
A fundraiser is a jewelry show where a percentage of the profit is donated instead of free jewelry. The percentage amount that is donated is completely up to you. Establish a percentage that you are comfortable with and stick with it so you are not giving different percentages to every organization. A good rule of thumb is 20%. A fundraiser can be done at home or in a business setting. A hostess may opt to raise money for a particular cause instead of taking the free jewelry.

There are many ways to structure a fundraiser but one thing that will ensure success is participation. Giving individuals who are involved with the cause a minimum amount of orders to turn in is a great way to get sales increased and everyone excited. For instance, if you have each member of a group responsible for 10 outside orders before the event, this will increase the total of the fundraiser and make everyone part of the event.

Also giving a separate cash donation (i.e., $10.00 or $15.00) for each home show booked increases the fund’s money, but also creates more business for the consultant. If the event is going to have a large attendance, you might use a separate table to take orders only. In other words, have a cash-and-carry table and an order table. For very large events, you may want to enlist the help of a family member (or possibly someone from the fundraiser) to help take cash or credit cards for items at the show, while you write up orders for other items not immediately available in your inventory.

ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY QUOTAS TO MEET?
No. A wonderful thing about Cookie Lee is that as a Consultant you can buy one pair of earrings and still receive the same discount of 50%. The company requires that for you to remain an active consultant, you must purchase a minimum of $300.00 wholesale per calendar year and you can do this an item at a time since there are no minimum order requirements. When you have achieved a management level by recruiting others into your organization, there is a minimum monthly purchase required for you to receive your commission check. However, there is no requirement to recruit; you can work this business as you see fit.

HOW DO I PAY MY HOSTESS AT THE END OF THE SHOW?
Your hostess is paid in free jewelry and ½ off jewelry, not cash. Ideally, you want to encourage her to pick out her free jewelry from your table, but if there is something that she wants that you don't have you must order the item(s) from the showroom.

HOW MANY PIECES WILL I GET WHEN I SIGN UP UNDER OPTION 2 – BEST VALUE?
On average, you will get between 50 and 60 pieces depending on the cost of the items that you choose.

WHAT COMES IN MY FIRST KIT?
Essentially, we do not have a “kit”. Your inventory items are picked exclusively by you with your sponsor’s help. Remember a very important thing about your inventory – it is IMMEDIATELY SALEABLE. Therefore, you can recoup your investment very quickly.

Along with your inventory you will receive business supplies, training CDs and DVD's. In addition, all jewelry comes in a clear plastic bag and is tagged for immediate sale.

CAN I RETURN WHAT I DON'T SELL?
No. Eventually all our beautiful jewelry sells. The company will repair or replace any jewelry that has a manufacturer defect for a year from it’s sold out date. And there is a repair department in each showroom or you can simply mail the jewelry to be repaired to the corporate office in Irvine, CA.

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EARN?
The amount of money you earn is entirely up to you. It is based on your effort and willingness to work the business. Your net profit from the sale of the jewelry is 50%.

HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SELL AT AN AVERAGE SHOW?
My experience has been that the average home show is usually around $400 to $500 in retail sales...your profit would be half that. This amount tends to increase during the busy fall season when people are shopping for holiday gifts.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPONSOR SOMEONE?
You will become someone’s sponsor by signing her up to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. Your job as a sponsor will be to mentor and train your new consultant. Once you become a sponsor you will receive commission on your consultants’ wholesale purchases directly from Cookie Lee on the 15th of each month.

You Forgot My Soul

2009-03-26T23:00:00.000-07:00

You Forgot My Soul

You lived next door to me for years,

We shared our dreams, our joys, and tears.

A friend to me you were indeed,

A friend who helped me when in need.

My faith in you was strong and sure,

We had such trust as should endure.

No words between us ever rose,

Our friends were alike-and so, our foes.

What sadness, then, my friend, to find,

That, after all you weren't so kind.

The day my life on earth did end,

I found you weren't a faithful friend.

For all those years we spent on earth,

You never talked of second birth.

You never spoke of my lost soul,

And of the Christ who'd make me whole.

I'm lost today eternally,

And tell you now my earnest plea.

You cannot do a thing for me-

No words today my bonds will free.

But do not err, my friend, again,

Do all you can for souls of men.

Plead with them now quite earnestly-

Lest they be cast in hell with me.

All my love & His from above,

LORD YOU ARE LOVE

2009-03-24T20:54:00.000-07:00

LORD YOU ARE LOVE

Lord you are love,
Peace and kindness too.
And in the dark and lonely times
I know that I’ll get through.
Because you hold me
Safe and calm,
You’re there each time I fall.
You promised to never leave me,
When you died to save us all.
You said you’d always love me
And I know that this is true,
Because Lord, you are love.
Peace and kindness too.

THIS KIND OF WOMAN

2009-03-23T20:30:00.000-07:00

But how????? How can I be this kind of woman,
I will tell you extacly how, listen very carefully!!!

To be the kind of Woman that every time you wake up,
and your feet hit the floor and the devil says crap!

1#you must have invited christ to take up residency in you!

2#You must know that God loves you with an everlasting love and that nothing, shall seperate you from the love of God,
and that he will never leave you or forsake you!

3#you must know that all your sins are forgiven, past, present and, even the ones you haven't committed yet!

4#You must know that you are now the rigteousness of God, and that you have everything you need for Godliness and life,
and that you are complete in him.

remember you are not righteous or perfect, by what you don't do.
God's Plan was to give us the gift of righteous... we are saved by our faith in christ, not by works.
when we placed our faith in christ for eternal life, we become righteous right away
remember christ is life,... eternal life. that's who is eternal life,
so when christ takes up residency in you, you know posses eternal life.
he who has the son has life, Jesus says, I am the way the truth and the life.
he who believes in me will never die.

This Easter let us remember... that Jesus is the resurrection and the life, he is true life
we are merely living out side of him, but when he comes in and take up residency within
us, we know have eternal life which is himself. eternal life begins the moment we ask
jesus to come live inside of us. then true life begins!

God says, those whose minds, who are stayed on me I will keep in perfect peace.

I love you!

This will make the devil say awwww crap if you keep the above in mind and let it become your reality!

7.I would also like an annual Luxury Vacation, all expenses paid by you, of course. And if I work really hard, my husband or friend can come too.

This is what I would like; can you give me these things?” The store owner was in shock! Finally, he began to laugh, and in a condescending tone said, “No, I can't give you even one of these things you asked for. And I'll bet that you won't find such an opportunity anywhere!

I LOVE this business!

Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant.

First, anyone can sell Cookie Lee jewelry. In fact, you will find that the jewelry practically sells itself…if you can wear it, you can sell it! Most everyone loves to wear nice jewelry, but not everyone can afford the expense. Now you can help your friends, family, business acquaintances and others to enjoy wearing designer-inspired jewelry at affordable prices.

There are several ways to begin selling Cookie Lee Jewelry. Attached, you will find a sheet detailing the two different Start-Up Costs. Once you make your initial minimum order, you will enjoy the immediate benefit of earning a 50% gross profit on all your retail sales.

Because there is no “pre-chosen” package or kit of jewelry, you can choose those jewelry items that you want to sell (or keep for yourself). Your decision should be based on what fits best with your personal goals and your budget. A good rule to follow is if you would like to carry some inventory and start holding home parties/shows, then the Best Value Option 2 would be better than Option 1.

Once you decide which option you want to go with, you simply need to complete the Consultant Agreement. If you are near one of our showroom/distribution centers, you can choose your jewelry from thousands of items and take it home with you that day! You'll get your tote bag full of your training materials, a tour of the facility and meet our fabulous support staff.

Our showroom locations are:
Irvine, CA Las Vegas, NV
Phoenix AZ Riverside, CA
San Diego, CA Seattle, WA
Salt Lake City, UT Detroit, MI
Sacramento, CA Portland, OR

Please note that showrooms are NOT retail stores and are NOT open to the public. Only consultants may shop at the showrooms which are filled with thousands of pieces of Cookie Lee’s jewelry! If you're not near a showroom city, then our web site affords you the opportunity to order online and have your items shipped right to you.

The company growth of the past few years has been phenomenal and YOU can be a part of it too! Of course, I am happy to discuss any details or questions you have in making your decision to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. I will check back with you after you have had an opportunity to review all this material. I look forward to welcoming you to my team!

Thanks again and God Bless,

My Cookie Lee Story

I decided to sign up with Cookie Lee because I have always loved jewelry. When I started talking to my girl friend, another cookie lee member, and she told me about the opportunity, I couldn't believe the 50% profit. When I looked at the jewelry, I was even more impressed. It was absolutely the kind of jewelry I would wear, and not only that, it was jewelry that I knew my friends and family would wear as well! I had recently lost my job, and was looking for some way to make some extra money (Our company does not have quotas or minimum order requirements.) It took me about a month to get up the money and orders together to join, but I managed to get it all together,it was an amazing experience! All that jewelry, right at my fingertips! I wanted to get it all!

There are two ways to earn money in Cookie Lee: #1 sell jewelry and #2 build a team. There is no requirement to build a team, but if you want to, it is a way to earn money (residual income) each month while not selling jewelry. Last year one of (our up line) “team” commission checks totaled over $65,000. And, I earn money selling jewelry too!

Want to earn a car? Cookie Lee pays for the lease each month on a Mercedes Benz! Build a team and earn your car!

YOU CAN EARN FREE TRIPS TOO… Cookie Sisters have earned all expenses paid trips on an Alaskan Cruise, a Club Med trip to Cancan, a Hawaiian Cruise, a trip to Turks & Caicos and this year they are headed to Jamaica and Arizona! The trip you can this year is to Waikiki, Hawaii - you have all of 2008 to earn free tickets.

Our History

Driven by her desire to have a business that allowed her to be at home with her children, Cookie Lee began selling jewelry to her friends and family in 1985. As her business grew, she recognized that selling Cookie Lee jewelry could empower other women to build a business of their own. So, in 1992, Cookie Lee jewelry was offered as a direct sales company to the public.

Cookie Lee has a reputation for offering the latest in affordable, high quality fashion accessories. Inspired by contemporary and classic designs, Cookie Lee jewelry is delivered directly to customers through home shows, office shows, fundraiser's and personal shopping by an ever-growing base of independent consultants.

Whether you are shopping for jewelry, want to share Cookie Lee with friends and family at a home show, or see the opportunity to start a business with a progressive, fast-growing company, Cookie Lee jewelry offers something for everyone.

The Company Is Growing!
We Need All Types Of Consultants!
Which One Best Describes You?

“HOBBY CONSULTANT”
Holds 1 show a week and has a ton of fun!

“PART-TIME CONSULTANT”
Holds 2 shows a week (much like a part-time job) and may consider building a team in the future.

“FULL-TIME” CONSULTANT”
Holds 3 shows a week and treats Cookie Lee as a serious career and business by building her own team and selling jewelry.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I BOOK HOME PARTIES/SHOWS?
Your number one key to a successful start is to ASK everyone you know to help you as you launch your new business. Concentrate first on your family and immediate circle of friends. Your goal will be to hold 6 home shows in your first 4 to 6 weeks. Work you business according to your weekly home show goals.

Carry your tote bag and wear your jewelry every day. When holding shows, simply ask each person as you write up their order, “Would you like to get your most expensive item at half price tonight by holding your own girls night home show?”

HOW WILL I GET TRAINED?
Your up line team includes consultants who are here to help you. When you are part of my team, training is bountiful! There are conference call training's once a month; unit meetings once a month, management conference call meetings once a month; individual training's to get you off to a good start; an introductory/training show; and our very fun Quick start to Success classes. We pride ourselves on being the best trained unit in Cookie Lee!

HOW DO I CONDUCT A FUNDRAISER?
A fundraiser is a jewelry show where a percentage of the profit is donated instead of free jewelry. The percentage amount that is donated is completely up to you. Establish a percentage that you are comfortable with and stick with it so you are not giving different percentages to every organization. A good rule of thumb is 20%. A fundraiser can be done at home or in a business setting. A hostess may opt to raise money for a particular cause instead of taking the free jewelry.

There are many ways to structure a fundraiser but one thing that will ensure success is participation. Giving individuals who are involved with the cause a minimum amount of orders to turn in is a great way to get sales increased and everyone excited. For instance, if you have each member of a group responsible for 10 outside orders before the event, this will increase the total of the fundraiser and make everyone part of the event.

Also giving a separate cash donation (i.e., $10.00 or $15.00) for each home show booked increases the fund’s money, but also creates more business for the consultant. If the event is going to have a large attendance, you might use a separate table to take orders only. In other words, have a cash-and-carry table and an order table. For very large events, you may want to enlist the help of a family member (or possibly someone from the fundraiser) to help take cash or credit cards for items at the show, while you write up orders for other items not immediately available in your inventory.

ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY QUOTAS TO MEET?
No. A wonderful thing about Cookie Lee is that as a Consultant you can buy one pair of earrings and still receive the same discount of 50%. The company requires that for you to remain an active consultant, you must purchase a minimum of $300.00 wholesale per calendar year and you can do this an item at a time since there are no minimum order requirements. When you have achieved a management level by recruiting others into your organization, there is a minimum monthly purchase required for you to receive your commission check. However, there is no requirement to recruit; you can work this business as you see fit.

HOW DO I PAY MY HOSTESS AT THE END OF THE SHOW?
Your hostess is paid in free jewelry and ½ off jewelry, not cash. Ideally, you want to encourage her to pick out her free jewelry from your table, but if there is something that she wants that you don't have you must order the item(s) from the showroom.

HOW MANY PIECES WILL I GET WHEN I SIGN UP UNDER OPTION 2 – BEST VALUE?
On average, you will get between 50 and 60 pieces depending on the cost of the items that you choose.

WHAT COMES IN MY FIRST KIT?
Essentially, we do not have a “kit”. Your inventory items are picked exclusively by you with your sponsor’s help. Remember a very important thing about your inventory – it is IMMEDIATELY SALEABLE. Therefore, you can recoup your investment very quickly.

Along with your inventory you will receive business supplies, training CDs and DVD's. In addition, all jewelry comes in a clear plastic bag and is tagged for immediate sale.

CAN I RETURN WHAT I DON'T SELL?
No. Eventually all our beautiful jewelry sells. The company will repair or replace any jewelry that has a manufacturer defect for a year from it’s sold out date. And there is a repair department in each showroom or you can simply mail the jewelry to be repaired to the corporate office in Irvine, CA.

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EARN?
The amount of money you earn is entirely up to you. It is based on your effort and willingness to work the business. Your net profit from the sale of the jewelry is 50%.

HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SELL AT AN AVERAGE SHOW?
My experience has been that the average home show is usually around $400 to $500 in retail sales...your profit would be half that. This amount tends to increase during the busy fall season when people are shopping for holiday gifts.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPONSOR SOMEONE?
You will become someone’s sponsor by signing her up to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. Your job as a sponsor will be to mentor and train your new consultant. Once you become a sponsor you will receive commission on your consultants’ wholesale purchases directly from Cookie Lee on the 15th of each month.

A MESSAGE OF HOPE

2009-03-18T21:02:00.000-07:00

A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM DR. JACK VAN IMPE
Sixth trumpet
Verse 13: And the sixth angel sounded, and heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Verse 14: Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
As the sixth angel sounds, John hears a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is in the presence of God. Isn't it strange that many of the judgments are directly linked with God's program of atonement? Perhaps this is because so many have rejected the message of the altar which speaks of the shed blood of Jesus. Paul warned the human race of the danger of refusing this teaching: He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:28, 29). The rejection of God's Word always brings serious consequences. Before us is a scene wherein even the altar (the only place where sin can be forgiven) and the horns of the altar (actually touched by the blood) unitedly cry out to God for judgment. Never treat the message of the precious shed blood of Christ lightly. Those who do will be sorry!
Now, because of rejecting the message, the voice from the altar tells the sixth angel to loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
The fact that they are bound proves that they are the fallen angels who rebelled and fell with Lucifer at the time of his revolt (see Isaiah 14:12-14). Once the Church is safely in heaven, four denizens from the pit of the abyss are released upon earth. Earlier we saw four unfallen angels holding back the judgment of God (chapter 7, verse 1). Now four wicked angels are set free to wreak havoc upon planet earth. They are commanded to execute their judgment in the area of the Euphrates River. This body of water runs through Iraq and Syria and will become the point of origin for the battle of the ages in the future.
This land area belongs to Israel and no one but Israel. God will see that they get it. Proof? And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee (Exodus 23:31). Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be (Deuteronomy 11:24). Again God says, From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast (Joshua 1:4).
At one point in history, the Euphrates River became the boundary of the old Roman Empire-which is being restored and will fall under the rule of the Antichrist (chapter 13, verse 1). This area will surely become the sore spot as history progresses, for it serves as both the frontier of the promised land and the boundary of the ten-toed, ten-horned, Western federation of nations that produces the Antichrist (Daniel 2:40,41; 7:23,24; and Revelation 13:1). The destruction unleashed upon the earth by the four evil emissaries is described in the next verse.
Verse 15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
The population of earth is presently approximately six billion, eight hundred million people, and it is estimated to become seven billion within the next five years. In our study, we have seen one-fourth of this number die under the rider of the fourth, or pale horse (chapter 6, verse 8). Thus, starting at seven billion earth's population is reduced to five billion, one hundred million. Now an additional one-third-or one billion, seven hundred - perish as the four fallen angels are released. These four executioners are undoubtedly waiting in the wings to begin the drama of the ages. They are prepared and eagerly anticipating their scheduled timetable. Remember, the Euphrates River is Middle East territory-the location of present-day Iraq and Syria. This is the world's present and future tinderbox.
The holocaust will also include Russia and her allies posed against Israel (Ezekiel 38 and 39). The barbaric troops come against the nation of Israel from the north: Thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land (Ezekiel 38:15, 16). Russia is north of Israel. This is why Joel declared in chapter 2, verse 20, I will remove far off from you [Israel] the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate [Siberia], with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea. Geographically, Russia alone meets the qualifications of this text.
As stated previously, Israel is mentioned as the battlefield of the world on eighteen occasions in Ezekiel 38 and 39. There is no doubt that the Holy Land becomes the site of the greatest war in the annals of history. Now Russia marches toward the middle of the Tribulation hour, but is driven back to Siberia (see Ezekiel 39:1, 2 and Joel 2:20). She strengthens her forces and then returns to the land of Israel once again. The scope and intensity of the offensive continues to increase until all nations become involved and are finally gathered together against Israel at Jerusalem. God says, I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle (Zechariah 14:2). At that point the Battle of Armageddon takes place: He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon (Revelation 16:16).
This Mideast war numbers the largest armies in the history of mankind.
Verse 16: And the number of the army of the horsemen [was] two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Think of it! Two hundred million soldiers! No wonder the ancient prophet said, And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land (Ezekiel 38:16). This army advances in the latest and best of equipment: For the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation ...The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings (Nahum 2:3, 4).
Many Bible scholars associate the army of two hundred million with Red China and her oriental allies by tying this text concerning the Euphrates together with chapter 16, verse 12: And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east [or the kings of the sunrising] might be prepared. Such an assembly of military might is quite feasible considering China's present population of nearly one billion, five hundred million. Other Bible commentators believe this army is a supernatural one in light of the three verses which follow:
Verse 17: And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Verse 18: By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Verse 19: For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
The advocates of literalism believe that these same verses portray the latest inventions stockpiled in the military arsenals of the world. Either way, it will be a devastating period of time as the remaining third of earth's inhabitants are destroyed by fire, smoke, and brimstone-a sulfurous, poisonous gas.
At this point several verses predicting the final war of fire should be considered: A fire goeth before him (Psalm 97:3). For, behold, the Lord will come with fire (Isaiah 66:15). The whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy (Zephaniah 1:18). A fire devoureth before them (Joel 2:3). Who? The Russian army coming from the north. Then God states: I will remove far off from you [Israel] the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great [or terrible] things (Joel 2:20). This is the point at which Russia and her allies are pushed back to Siberia. Joel continues in verse 30 of chapter 2: And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
This sounds similar to the report mentioned in Malachi 4:1: For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven. And the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up (Revelation 8:7). Again-whether the means are natural or supernatural-it is catastrophic. Personally, I believe that both the natural and the supernatural-men and demons-will be involved in the Tribulation woes. Now, what about the remaining sixty-five percent of the population?
Verse 20: And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Verse 21: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
We have now witnessed the release of thirteen judgments-seven seals and six trumpets. One would think that after experiencing such devastation, mankind would begin considering eternity. Not so! Those who are still alive continue to rebel. Wicked sinners do not give in or give up easily. In fact, God's Word tells us that men won't repent even after they have been in the regions of the doomed and the damned for centuries. Even then they continue gnashing their teeth in an expression of their hatred toward God. Proof? The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:41, 42).
Verses 20 and 21 present five major sins which permeate the Tribulation scene-and for which men would rather die than switch: (1) occultism, (2) murder, (3) drug abuse, (4) fornication (sexual orgies), and (5) stealing. Let's investigate them further.
Occultism
The Tribulation will be a time of pronounced devil worship. Anton LaVey began the church of Satan movement in San Francisco. Estimates reveal that tens of thousands in California alone are connected to this or some other type of occult organization. Stores where satanic objects may be purchased are presently springing up everywhere nationally and internationally. God hates this sin!
Listen to the Almighty: Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 19:31). And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people (Leviticus 20:6). Anything that smacks of demonic-related practices has the anathema of God upon it. Look at the listing found in Deuteronomy 18:10-12: There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times [astrology], or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.
In addition to worshipping devils, earth dwellers of the Tribulation hour also use idols made of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood. God hates idolatry! This practice breaks His holy law-the second commandment-given to Moses in Exodus 20:4,5 which declares, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image...Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God.
There are those today who, knowingly or unknowingly, break God's commandment by worshipping lifeless, man-made idols. Their worship, however, is meaningless to God. The psalmist says in Psalm 115:4-8, Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them [helpless and hopeless]; so is every one that trusteth in them. God condemns idolatry-past, present, and future!
During the Tribulation hour, the world-steeped in occultism and idolatry-progresses to the worship of the image of the beast, or Antichrist, who proclaims himself as God (see 2 Thessalonians 2:4).
This image, made in his likeness (see Revelation 13:15), is undoubtedly the abomination of desolation spoken of in Matthew 24:15, which is placed in the Temple in Jerusalem and which brings great heartache to the Jews of that day. One can see that the world's present surge of occultism is paving the way for the coming of the greatest religious imposter in history.
Murder
During this same time, murder becomes a sport and judgment does not change the situation. The wicked refuse to turn from their brutalistic manner of living. They find pleasure in killing people, perhaps because terrorism is rampant. Jesus said, But as the days of Noe were, so shall the coming of the Son of man be (Matthew 24:37). Noah's day was characterized by violence: The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence (Genesis 6:11). Our twenty-first century is certainly leading us to this terrifying hour.
Drugs, fornication, and stealing
The final three sins prevalent during the end time are interrelated and have to do with sorceries-drug abuse, fornication (the practice of every conceivable sex sin), and theft. These sins indicate that bodies are being sold (through prostitution) and burglaries are being committed in order to support the drug kick. Present news headlines indicate that this day is already dawning! Surely our time as the Church upon earth is about to end and we must prepare to meet [our] God (Amos 4:12). In concluding this chapter, let's spend some time on the matter of drugs.
There are a number of words used in the Bible to describe the subject of sorcery. Altogether there are at least twenty-seven references to sorcery, sorceries, sorcerers, witches, witchcraft, and the art of bewitching. Of these, at least five in the New Testament are especially pertinent, for they have a direct bearing on the day in which we live-the present day of drugs and drug addiction.
In the books of the Old Testament and the Book of Acts the term sorcery always means "witchcraft" or "magic"-and one should note that the practice is continually and constantly condemned! Five occurrences of the word sorcery in the New Testament, however, have to do with drug addiction. In these instances, the original Greek word is pharmakeia-from which we get our English term pharmacy or drugstore. The literal meaning of the Greek is an "enchantment with drugs," or to "get high on" or "get a kick out of' drugs. Medications prescribed by doctors are not part of this condemnation. The literal rendering of verse 21, then, is that men repent not of their enchantment with drugs during the Tribulation hour. Each of the five references must be carefully considered in the light of its context. Collectively, they clearly reveal: (1) the present world condition as foretold in the prophetic scriptures; (2) the inevitable result of drug addiction; (3) the certain and definite judgment upon the drug pusher as well as (4) the drug victim; and finally (5) the appraisal of this terrible sin in the sight of God Almighty.
As previously stated, we can already see the dawning of the day of drugs in the spread of drug use throughout all levels of society. Such a widespread use of drugs cannot help but bring its own destruction. Even amid all the trips in mind expansion propaganda, not one user has ever been able to actually do more or be more efficient than he was before experimenting with drugs. This steady downward retrogression will be climaxed at the close of the Great Tribulation, when the full cup of its own judgment is measured.
The closing chapters of the Book of Revelation graphically portray the terrible consequences of mankind's enchantment with drugs. What we are presently witnessing is only the beginning of the coming disintegration of society during the Tribulation period. Revelation 18:23 states: For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. The Greek word for sorceries, as already mentioned, is pharmakeia. Thus, "by their enchantment with drugs, or getting high on drugs, were all nations deceived." This is the result of mankind's first mass usage of drugs.
Now there is a change in the next occurrence of the word translated sorcerers. This change reveals a class of people who are doomed and is found in chapter 21, verse 8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. The Greek word for sorcerers in this text is pharmakeus.
Whereas the word pharmakeia meant "enchantment with drugs," pharmakeus means "the enchanter with drugs"-the pusher or the seller of drugs. This text plainly declares that eight distinct groups of people will never get into heaven but will rather be assigned to the lake of fire (a description of a literal hell). One of these groups is composed of those who are enchanters, or pushers of drugs. What a solemn warning against having anything to do with the soul-damning drug traffic of the present hour!
But wait! There is another reference to sorcerers in this book of the Bible-chapter 22, verse 15: For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Here again the word is pharmakeus.
Although the word is the same as the one found in chapter 21, verse 8, it has a deeper meaning in this context. By extension, it includes both the drug pusher and user! Take notice-these individuals are kept out of heaven. (Heaven would not be heaven very long if they were admitted.) There is only one place to which they can go and that is the place of eternal separation from the presence of God- the place prepared for Satan and his angels (see Matthew 25:41).
The Bible is explicit in stating that there is no heaven for those who refuse to repent of their sins. In hell, they will keep on sinning forever. They never repent or get saved there. Notice also that of the six groups named in chapter 22, verse 15, sorcerers (drug pushers and users) occupy second place-immediately following the term which describes outlaws as wild dogs. Oh, God hates this sin!
An additional word, witchcraft, with the same meaning is found in Galatians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. The word witchcraft in our English Bible is again pharmakeia in the Greek. We also see that this sin is number six in this listing of seventeen kinds of sinners who shall not-shall not-inherit the kingdom of God. The drug user and the drug pusher are both excluded from heaven!
Is there no hope or escape from the clutches of this binding habit? Praise God, there is a source of liberation-it is the Lord Jesus Christ: For this purpose the son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Beloved, it is by the way of the cross of Calvary that Jesus has broken Satan's grip. Now, when any-any-guilty sinner calls upon Him for salvation, Jesus Christ immediately frees that person from the shackles of sin and death which bind him. Try Him. There is no limit to the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
FROM THE HEART OF DR. REXELLA VAN IMPE
PEACE IN A TROUBLED WORLD
In the light of all that is going on in our world today it may sound strange to hear that you can have peace in a troubled world. In our beloved country everyday we have :
10 teens commit suicide
135,000 teens bring a gun to school
7,742 teens become sexually active
2,705 teen girls get pregnant
1,106 teen girls have abortions
623 teens get a sexually transmitted disease
211 teens are arrested for drug abuse
437 teens are arrested for drinking or drunk driving
1,512 teens drop out of school
1,629 teens are in adult jails
As shocking as this is, it is not only a national dilemma, but also a global plague. Jesus knew this situation would engulf the globe prior to His return by prophesying that "iniquity would abound" but He added "Let not your heart be troubled". What did He mean by this reassuring statement of comfort?
I want to let you in on the greatest truth I know. Everything I can say about real peace is centered in this fact. Without it, none of us can ever be genuinely at rest.
This truth has transformed millions of people throughout the history of the world. It has made derelicts into saints, hypocrites into godly men and women, and sinners into children of God. It is the truth of salvation in Jesus Christ.
Throughout this study, we have touched on some priceless spiritual verities that have a direct bearing on how to deal with the issues of life that can cause us to feel baffled, bewildered-perhaps even befuddled. In fact, we might say that achieving genuine satisfaction is completely a spiritual issue. To me, satisfaction is the normal state of a healthy soul. A person who neglects his spiritual needs cut himself off from the possibility of knowing real and lasting peace and fulfillment.
The greatest spiritual truth of all is what God has done to redeem us from our sin. By giving His Son to die in our place, God has paid the price of our sin and is able to save us from the bondage and dissatisfaction that comes with it.
Let me clearly say that I am not speaking of religion. Many people who are religious know nothing about salvation. Religion is of human origin, and it almost always requires that we do something. God’s salvation, however, is entirely His work on our behalf. It requires absolutely nothing, since God has already accomplished all that is necessary. Our part is to simply accept it by faith.
A personal commitment
I have been privileged to conduct two wonderful interviews with the Reverend Peter Marshall. He is the co-author (with David Manuel) of two marvelous historical accounts of God’s plan for America and divine intervention in the founding of our nation-The Light and the Glory and From Sea to Shining Sea. Peter grew up in a marvelous Christian family. His father, the late Dr. Peter Marshall, was for many years chaplain of the United States Senate, and his mother, the late Catherine Marshall, is known and loved by millions for her many wonderful books.
I asked Peter what impact his distinguished parents had on his coming to Christ. He explained that they had made clear to him from his youth just what it means to be a Christian. As a result, he never took Christianity for granted, and he never assumed that just because his parents were well-known Christian leaders, he was automatically a Christian as well.
In fact, Peter told me it was not until he was 21 years of age that he felt he had really committed his life to the Lord. Although he had grown up surrounded by Christian teaching and in his head knew it was true, he had not yielded his heart in making a personal commitment to Jesus Christ.
"I graduated from college, and I was lost," he told me. "I had no idea who I was or why I was here. I thought I was going into the foreign service, the United States Diplomatic Corps, but the Lord shut that door and it didn’t work out. So I had nothing. No plans. No goals. Nothing.
"Then I went to a Fellowship of Christian Athletes conference in Colorado in the summer of 1961 and heard Don Moomaw speak. I gave my life to the Lord as a result of that encounter. Two weeks later I was in seminary, and in 1965 I was ordained to the gospel ministry."
God took Peter Marshall’s aimless life and gave him direction. And, as I interviewed him, Peter expressed his concern and burden that many people do not understand what Christianity really is.
"Christianity is not just running around trying to do great things for God," he said. "We must understand that we need Jesus Christ because we are sinful human beings-weak and needy. In my pride, I had a hard time accepting this."
I believe one of the reasons so many people-so many religious people-are dissatisfied is that they perceive religion as something we do for God. But true peace begins when we accept what God has done for us! The Bible says, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8,9).
You see, if salvation were something we could earn for ourselves, it would only contribute to our pride, for when we earned salvation, we would have much about which to brag and boast. Thus, what Peter Marshall says is absolutely correct-all of us are needy sinners-there is none righteous, no, not one...for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:10,23). Yes, all of us fall short of God’s standards, and if we are to receive salvation from our sins, we must receive it as a gift, not as a meritorious award for service.
What sin does to us
Some may have difficulty accepting the fact that all of us are sinners. We all know people who are good, moral, honest, generous, thoughtful human beings. Surely they are not sinners in the same way hardened criminals are sinners-are they?
From God’s perspective, the answer is "yes." Because His standard is absolute holiness-one hundred percent perfection-the issue is not how many sins we commit or what kind of sins we commit, but if we have sinned at all. And Scripture is clear that none of us can honestly say we have never sinned.
In the presence of absolute holiness, even the smallest sin is as offensive and out of place as the darkest, most heinous act of evil one can imagine. Because God is so completely holy and uncompromisingly righteous, He cannot permit sin to exist in His presence. And the only just penalty for sin is death-For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
But just as God is holy, righteous, and just, Scripture also informs us that He is a God of mercy and love. Because of His great love for us, He does not wish to condemn us without mercy. Since in His righteousness He cannot simply overlook sin, He found a way that He could make us righteous without compromising His own holiness. However, it cost Him the sacrifice of His Son!
Perhaps the most familiar verse in all of Scripture is John 3:16-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. That verse, more than any other, has opened people’s eyes to the truth of God’s salvation and the way to real satisfaction.
Salvation explained
What this all means is that you do not have to earn God’s approval. You do not have to work to make yourself righteous. You do not have to become deserving of God’s grace. All the work has been done by God himself, and He offers His grace freely to those who will receive it by faith!
Nothing gives a greater sense of personal worth than the truth that God loves us so much that He gave His Son to pay the price for our sins. And nothing on earth brings more complete satisfaction than the confidence of knowing you are secure in God’s salvation.
May I ask you some important personal questions? What are you counting on to make yourself acceptable to God? If you were to stand before Him and give an account of your life, what could you point to that might make you acceptable to Him? Would it be your own works of righteousness? I hope not, because Isaiah 64:6 says, all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. God cannot accept works of righteousness from unrighteous people. Would you point to your heritage? Scripture is clear that salvation is not anyone’s birthright. In fact, Jesus said, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).
The only thing any of us can point to that makes us acceptable to God is the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf. We must simply trust Him with childlike faith and receive His gift of eternal life (Romans 6:23).
CHANGED LIVES-one at a time
I love that you love my Jesus--every time I read your message I get witness to the truth--there is nothing better than to hear the Word of God as plain and simple yet in depth with the true meaning of what it stands for--Jesus!!--You and Rexella are the most beautiful couple of one in the Spirit as I watch the Spirit rest in His love upon you both--be blessed of the Lords greater anointing to come-
In his love-

I know we're facing troubled economic times.

2009-03-18T14:55:00.001-07:00

I know we're facing troubled economic times. Every day, we're bombarded with messages of doom and gloom. But take heart! God's Word, says,

...for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. (Galatians 6:7-9, NKJV)

We are not of the world, so we shouldn't let the crises of this world determine our tomorrows! Remember that we serve a risen Savior, and we will spend OUR tomorrows with God in His heavenly Kingdom!

Before you were even born, God knew you (Jeremiah 1:5) and formed a plan for your life. God's plan is not affected by what happens in the world! God's plan for you is perfect and unchanging--He does not adjust it to meet the fluctuations of the stock market or the whims of the banks!

In these troubled times God calls us to stand on the solid rock of His Word and take shelter in His promises. In Galatians 6:7-9, God promises us that "in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." Have faith, God is saying; keep believing.

The seeds we sow in faith today will become the harvest of blessings tomorrow--in due season. Our seeds will bear fruit - not instantly, but at God's appointed time. Meanwhile, we should honor God's laws of seedtime and harvest, of sowing and reaping, for "he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life."

Yours in Christ Jesus,

Celebrate Life

2009-03-17T23:16:00.006-07:00

Celebrate Life
A teacher I know became discouraged and wanted to give up. But she knew she couldn't do that, so she took a day off and went for a walk along the beach.
Feeling sorry for herself, the teacher began to think about how the children at school weren't respectful and parents didn't back her up. Her own children were becoming increasingly disrespectful, and she and her husband were having trouble.
Suddenly, she heard a little girl's voice say, "Hey, lady! Come over here and play with me!" The teacher tried to ignore the child. But again the little girl called out to her, "Hey, come over here and play with me!" Finally, she walked over to the child and said, "Why aren't you in school?" The girl reached up and pulled off a bandana she had been wearing. She was completely bald.
"I have leukemia," she answered. "My mom says if I don't feel good enough to go to school, sometimes I can take a day off and just celebrate life."
The child's words touched the teacher's heart. She picked up a rock, and the two of them began to play the game of hopscotch. When they'd finished, the teacher took the rock home with her and wrote on it, "Celebrate life." She'd learned a valuable lesson.
Regardless of anything we face, life is truly a gift from God and should be celebrated as such. With the Psalmist, let us say, This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24).

BILL OR RIGHTS AND MUCH MORE!!

2009-03-17T22:50:00.001-07:00

Excerpts from the actual Declaration:
"...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ~That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed......WE, THEREFORE, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES... ~And for the support of this Declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
In Colonial Congress, July 4, 1776

From the Declaration of Independence in 1776, to the Constitution in 1787, and then the Bill of Rights in 1791, was a span of only 15 years. So it is easy to see how these three principle documents in our history are inter-woven in their ideals, and inseperably linked in their goals and purpose.But the Declaration of Independence, in that it preceeded them all, it is the cornerstone of our very Nation, and the foundation of the principles upon which our Constitution, and later, the Bill of Rights, were also inspired and authored. The Declaration of Independence stated our very purpose for becoming a new nation unto ourselves, independent from the rule of England, recognizing the Creator, God himself, as the ultimate authority governing our freedoms and our rights of independence. So it is inspiring to me, knowing that our nation began with such powerful words.The Founding Fathers went on to say that it is for the very purpose of securing these God-given Rights, that governments are instituted among men. Would they have made such a statement were it not for the fact that this is why our own government was to be instituted? Surely not! And while the King of England sought to deprive the American colonists of these God-given rights, our Fore-Fathers sought to restore them to us. It is the very reason for which the United States of America was born.
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
About the First Amendment:

~ The First Amendment to the United States Constitution was also first in the hearts of the men who gave us the Bill of Rights. Their intent is obvious by the wording alone: that we should have freedom OF religion. But today the liberal thinking in our government is that it implies we should have freedom FROM it. The amendment clearly dictates that Congress will never be allowed to create any law to establish a federally mandated religion, nor will Congress ever be allowed to create a law which would restrict the freedom to exercise one's religion. No where in this amendment was it ever implied that religion should be kept from influencing our government. Only that religion should forever remain free from government influence. And yet we continue to see the nominations of conservative judges blocked, and liberal judges appointed to our courts. And these liberal judges feel their role is to interpret law by liberal thinking, rather than appold it with precedent.The First Amendment also grants us Free Speech, of which public prayer and the sharing of the Gospel are certainly included.
Actual Text of the Amendment:
~ "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Ratified December 15, 1791

Bill of Rights one WAS FOR CHURCH TO BE FREE FROM GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT IMPOSE ON CHURCHES RIGHT TO GATHER HAVE FREE SPEACH OF RELIGION AND PRESS FROM CHURCH IT WAS WRITTEN ALL BY CHRISTIANS NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE TWISTED BY A TOTAL OUT OF CONTROL WORLD.
Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Amendment II A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Amendment III No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. Amendment VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. Amendment VII In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law. Amendment VIII Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Amendment IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Amendment X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people

Through the eyes of a child: The Children's Bible in a Nutshell In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did. Then God made the world. He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been i nvented yet. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden.....Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars. Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something. One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check. After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat. Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowe ls, and no cable.
God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments. These include: don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff. Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother. One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town. After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me. After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore. There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them... After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of The New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the door! Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say, 'As a matter20of fact, I was.') During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Democrats. Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him. Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount. But the Democrats and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead. Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.

Knowing & Trusting

2009-03-12T20:48:00.000-07:00

Knowing and Trusting

"And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." (Psalm 9:10) When one really knows the name of the Lord, that one will surely come to trust Him. How could anyone fail to trust God and to believe His Word, when they know Him to be the Almighty Creator (Elohim), the self-existing One (Jehovah), and the gracious Master (Adonai)? When they further learn that He is none other than Jesus Christ ("Anointed Savior"), surely they ought to believe and bow in thankful love, calling Him "Lord" by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3). The word for "trust" means "take refuge in." We can trust our Lord for protection from harm, from want, from all the attacks of the wicked one, and finally, from hell itself. That trust is well placed, because the Lord never forsakes those who truly trust Him. The Word confirms this truth over and over again. "(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers" (Deuteronomy 4:31). "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread" (Psalm 37:25). These are glorious promises, always fulfilled--that is, with one exception. The only man who always fully trusted God, who was altogether righteous and who perfectly manifested the Father's name to His disciples and to the world--that One was forsaken! "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" He cried, as He died on the cross (Matthew 27:46). And it was because He was willing to be forsaken and to suffer hell itself in our place--dying for our sins--that God can make and keep His promise never to forsake anyone who seeks Him and puts their trust in Him, through Jesus Christ.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

Once upon a time, a friendly, ambitious woman went into a beautiful store with a reputation for quality merchandise. She said to the owner, “Sir, I would like to work for you. I'll work hard. I'll do a great job, but I ask the following in return:”

1.For everything I sell, I want to keep 50% as my commission.

2.I will get others to sell for you too, and I want to be paid commission on everything they sell forever, say 5% to 15%.

3.I want to work my own hours and have no quotas, so that sometimes I can work a lot, but sometimes, I'll take off for a day or two…or a week…or even longer…whenever I want to.

4.My family must always come first.

5.When I do well, I want ample recognition and good bonuses… not meaningless little things but things like Gold and fine jewelry.

6.I want to be able to promote myself to management entirely through my own efforts if I want it, not because you want me to. My promotions must include meaningful salary increases.

7.I would also like an annual Luxury Vacation, all expenses paid by you, of course. And if I work really hard, my husband or friend can come too.

This is what I would like; can you give me these things?” The store owner was in shock! Finally, he began to laugh, and in a condescending tone said, “No, I can't give you even one of these things you asked for. And I'll bet that you won't find such an opportunity anywhere!

BUT WE IN COOKIE LEE KNOW THAT THERE IS SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY!!IT’S HERE WITH COOKIE LEE!!!

It’s great to be your own boss!Tax benefits too!No territories…No sales quotas…No show quotas…No formal presentations required!!!You decide how much you want to earn!

Please call me for further informationDiana SienkiewiczCookie Lee Independent Jewelry Consultant

http://www.dianasdeals.com/

I LOVE this business!

Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant.

First, anyone can sell Cookie Lee jewelry. In fact, you will find that the jewelry practically sells itself…if you can wear it, you can sell it! Most everyone loves to wear nice jewelry, but not everyone can afford the expense. Now you can help your friends, family, business acquaintances and others to enjoy wearing designer-inspired jewelry at affordable prices.

There are several ways to begin selling Cookie Lee Jewelry. Attached, you will find a sheet detailing the two different Start-Up Costs. Once you make your initial minimum order, you will enjoy the immediate benefit of earning a 50% gross profit on all your retail sales.

Because there is no “pre-chosen” package or kit of jewelry, you can choose those jewelry items that you want to sell (or keep for yourself). Your decision should be based on what fits best with your personal goals and your budget. A good rule to follow is if you would like to carry some inventory and start holding home parties/shows, then the Best Value Option 2 would be better than Option 1.

Once you decide which option you want to go with, you simply need to complete the Consultant Agreement. If you are near one of our showroom/distribution centers, you can choose your jewelry from thousands of items and take it home with you that day! You'll get your tote bag full of your training materials, a tour of the facility and meet our fabulous support staff.

Our showroom locations are:Irvine, CA Las Vegas, NVPhoenix AZ Riverside, CASan Diego, CA Seattle, WASalt Lake City, UT Detroit, MISacramento, CA Portland, OR

Please note that showrooms are NOT retail stores and are NOT open to the public. Only consultants may shop at the showrooms which are filled with thousands of pieces of Cookie Lee’s jewelry! If you're not near a showroom city, then our web site affords you the opportunity to order online and have your items shipped right to you.

The company growth of the past few years has been phenomenal and YOU can be a part of it too! Of course, I am happy to discuss any details or questions you have in making your decision to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. I will check back with you after you have had an opportunity to review all this material. I look forward to welcoming you to my team!

Thanks again and God Bless,

Diana SienkiewiczIndependent Jewelry Consultant

My Cookie Lee Story

I decided to sign up with Cookie Lee because I have always loved jewelry. When I started talking to my girl friend, another cookie lee member, and she told me about the opportunity, I couldn't believe the 50% profit. When I looked at the jewelry, I was even more impressed. It was absolutely the kind of jewelry I would wear, and not only that, it was jewelry that I knew my friends and family would wear as well! I had recently lost my job, and was looking for some way to make some extra money (Our company does not have quotas or minimum order requirements.) It took me about a month to get up the money and orders together to join, but I managed to get it all together,it was an amazing experience! All that jewelry, right at my fingertips! I wanted to get it all!

There are two ways to earn money in Cookie Lee: #1 sell jewelry and #2 build a team. There is no requirement to build a team, but if you want to, it is a way to earn money (residual income) each month while not selling jewelry. Last year one of (our up line) “team” commission checks totaled over $65,000. And, I earn money selling jewelry too!

Want to earn a car? Cookie Lee pays for the lease each month on a Mercedes Benz! Build a team and earn your car!

YOU CAN EARN FREE TRIPS TOO… Cookie Sisters have earned all expenses paid trips on an Alaskan Cruise, a Club Med trip to Cancan, a Hawaiian Cruise, a trip to Turks & Caicos and this year they are headed to Jamaica and Arizona! The trip you can this year is to Waikiki, Hawaii - you have all of 2008 to earn free tickets.

Our History

Driven by her desire to have a business that allowed her to be at home with her children, Cookie Lee began selling jewelry to her friends and family in 1985. As her business grew, she recognized that selling Cookie Lee jewelry could empower other women to build a business of their own. So, in 1992, Cookie Lee jewelry was offered as a direct sales company to the public.

Cookie Lee has a reputation for offering the latest in affordable, high quality fashion accessories. Inspired by contemporary and classic designs, Cookie Lee jewelry is delivered directly to customers through home shows, office shows, fundraiser's and personal shopping by an ever-growing base of independent consultants.

Whether you are shopping for jewelry, want to share Cookie Lee with friends and family at a home show, or see the opportunity to start a business with a progressive, fast-growing company, Cookie Lee jewelry offers something for everyone.

The Company Is Growing!We Need All Types Of Consultants!Which One Best Describes You?

“HOBBY CONSULTANT”Holds 1 show a week and has a ton of fun!

“PART-TIME CONSULTANT”Holds 2 shows a week (much like a part-time job) and may consider building a team in the future.

“FULL-TIME” CONSULTANT”Holds 3 shows a week and treats Cookie Lee as a serious career and business by building her own team and selling jewelry.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I BOOK HOME PARTIES/SHOWS?Your number one key to a successful start is to ASK everyone you know to help you as you launch your new business. Concentrate first on your family and immediate circle of friends. Your goal will be to hold 6 home shows in your first 4 to 6 weeks. Work you business according to your weekly home show goals.

Carry your tote bag and wear your jewelry every day. When holding shows, simply ask each person as you write up their order, “Would you like to get your most expensive item at half price tonight by holding your own girls night home show?”

HOW WILL I GET TRAINED?Your up line team includes consultants who are here to help you. When you are part of my team, training is bountiful! There are conference call training's once a month; unit meetings once a month, management conference call meetings once a month; individual training's to get you off to a good start; an introductory/training show; and our very fun Quick start to Success classes. We pride ourselves on being the best trained unit in Cookie Lee!

HOW DO I CONDUCT A FUNDRAISER?A fundraiser is a jewelry show where a percentage of the profit is donated instead of free jewelry. The percentage amount that is donated is completely up to you. Establish a percentage that you are comfortable with and stick with it so you are not giving different percentages to every organization. A good rule of thumb is 20%. A fundraiser can be done at home or in a business setting. A hostess may opt to raise money for a particular cause instead of taking the free jewelry.

There are many ways to structure a fundraiser but one thing that will ensure success is participation. Giving individuals who are involved with the cause a minimum amount of orders to turn in is a great way to get sales increased and everyone excited. For instance, if you have each member of a group responsible for 10 outside orders before the event, this will increase the total of the fundraiser and make everyone part of the event.

Also giving a separate cash donation (i.e., $10.00 or $15.00) for each home show booked increases the fund’s money, but also creates more business for the consultant. If the event is going to have a large attendance, you might use a separate table to take orders only. In other words, have a cash-and-carry table and an order table. For very large events, you may want to enlist the help of a family member (or possibly someone from the fundraiser) to help take cash or credit cards for items at the show, while you write up orders for other items not immediately available in your inventory.

ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY QUOTAS TO MEET?No. A wonderful thing about Cookie Lee is that as a Consultant you can buy one pair of earrings and still receive the same discount of 50%. The company requires that for you to remain an active consultant, you must purchase a minimum of $300.00 wholesale per calendar year and you can do this an item at a time since there are no minimum order requirements. When you have achieved a management level by recruiting others into your organization, there is a minimum monthly purchase required for you to receive your commission check. However, there is no requirement to recruit; you can work this business as you see fit.

HOW DO I PAY MY HOSTESS AT THE END OF THE SHOW?Your hostess is paid in free jewelry and ½ off jewelry, not cash. Ideally, you want to encourage her to pick out her free jewelry from your table, but if there is something that she wants that you don't have you must order the item(s) from the showroom.

HOW MANY PIECES WILL I GET WHEN I SIGN UP UNDER OPTION 2 – BEST VALUE?On average, you will get between 50 and 60 pieces depending on the cost of the items that you choose.

WHAT COMES IN MY FIRST KIT?Essentially, we do not have a “kit”. Your inventory items are picked exclusively by you with your sponsor’s help. Remember a very important thing about your inventory – it is IMMEDIATELY SALEABLE. Therefore, you can recoup your investment very quickly.

Along with your inventory you will receive business supplies, training CDs and DVD's. In addition, all jewelry comes in a clear plastic bag and is tagged for immediate sale.

CAN I RETURN WHAT I DON'T SELL?No. Eventually all our beautiful jewelry sells. The company will repair or replace any jewelry that has a manufacturer defect for a year from it’s sold out date. And there is a repair department in each showroom or you can simply mail the jewelry to be repaired to the corporate office in Irvine, CA.

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EARN?The amount of money you earn is entirely up to you. It is based on your effort and willingness to work the business. Your net profit from the sale of the jewelry is 50%.

HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SELL AT AN AVERAGE SHOW?My experience has been that the average home show is usually around $400 to $500 in retail sales...your profit would be half that. This amount tends to increase during the busy fall season when people are shopping for holiday gifts.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPONSOR SOMEONE?You will become someone’s sponsor by signing her up to become a Cookie Lee Consultant. Your job as a sponsor will be to mentor and train your new consultant. Once you become a sponsor you will receive commission on your consultants’ wholesale purchases directly from Cookie Lee on the 15th of each month.

You decide how much you want to earn…and how many hours you want to work. You are in control and can write your own fortune!
