How to Assemble The Law Firm Puzzle

By Allison Shields Imagine trying to do one of those 1000 (or more) piece jigsaw puzzles without looking at the picture without having any idea what the finished puzzle would look like. Now imagine that youre doing the puzzle without the picture, but not all of the pieces in the box belong to the same puzzle. How do you know which ones belong? How can you complete the puzzle effectively? Failing to develop strategic plans for your law firm is like trying to do the puzzle without knowing which pieces belong or what the end result is supposed to look like. Strategic Planning Made Easy
The four steps in the EASE method of strategic planning will make your planning a breeze: Envision, Analyze, Strategize, and Evaluate. Envision the Result You Want
What does a law firms strategic plan look like? Every strategic plan must start with a vision of what you want the end result to be. This is the first step in the EASE method Envision. The vision is like the photo on the puzzle box its a detailed picture what you want to get out of the plan. For example, if youre working on a firm business plan, youll create a vision of what you want your practice to become. It will include such things as: what youll be known for, how youll serve your clients, what areas of law youll practice in, how much revenue your firm will make, how many offices youll have, how many employees will work for the firm, and what the firms core values will be. Analyze Where You Are Now
The next step in creating a plan is to Analyze your current situation. Take stock of where you are, who your best and worst clients are, what practice areas you focus on now, where your revenue comes from, how your clients are referred to you. Youll also analyze your competition: who are they? Why do clients choose you over your competition? What does your competition offer that you dont? What changes are occurring in the marketplace? What are your potential clients needs and wants? Which pieces fit with your vision, and which dont? Strategize How Youll Get To Your Vision From Where You Are Now
After youve taken stock of your current position, its time to Strategize. This step consists of setting broad goals and identifying objectives that will help you reach those goals. Youll create action plans with specific deadlines for completion. The action plans break down your objectives into discrete steps, so that you can move toward those goals. For example, if a firm goal is to increase referrals and client loyalty, you must ask questions like: What kind of service do my potential clients expect? How can we provide those services in a way that distinguishes us from the competition? How can we package our services to be more attractive to our target market? Heres an example of the beginnings of what such a plan might look like: Goal: Increase client loyalty and referrals Objective 1: Create client survey program Action Plan for Objective 1: Research client surveys on the internet by September 1Write first draft of client survey by September 15 Objective 2: Improve relationships with good referral sources Action Plan for Objective 2: Create schedule for referral communications by September 7Contact three referral sources per month and schedule coffee, lunch, etc. Without goals, it is difficult to concentrate and avoid distractions. Although the goals themselves may change, having the goals is exceptionally important. In order to reduce stress, you must increase your control over your environment. Paying attention gives you much more control. Establish priorities, match skills to the challenges youre presented with. Stress comes from doing what you hate OR avoiding it. Evaluate and Revise
The final step in the planning process is to Evaluate and revise the plan. Planning is an ongoing process. As your firm changes, the marketplace changes and your clients change, the plan needs to change, too. The results of the actions youve taken must be evaluated to determine whether theyve been successful, and whether theyre likely to continue to be successful. In order to evaluate, youll have to keep track of your progress as you go along. Recognize that continuous testing (and making mistakes) is the only way to determine what really works and what doesnt. Law firms often fail to set aside the time to look back to see whether their efforts have been successful, or to continue testing once they think theyve found something that works. But to improve sometimes means taking risks and changing something that works to see whether you can make it work even better. Put the Puzzle Together with EASE
Using the EASE process: Envision, Analyze, Strategize, and Evaluate, you can create a plan that will help you put the pieces of your law firm puzzle together: Envision what you want create the picture of what youd like the result of the plan to be. Analyze where you are now and ascertain which pieces belong to the your vision and which dont Strategize how youll get from where you are to your vision which part of the puzzle should you work on first? How will you put the pieces together? Evaluate what youve done- determine whether you need to change to make a change, or what the next steps will be. Once you know what the end result is supposed to look like and how you plan to get there, you can concentrate on putting the pieces in place to create your vision. (c) 2007 Allison C.

Gentian Violet for Thrush

By Charlene Nuble What is gentian violet? Gentian violet sounds like something that is very sophisticated but actually it is not. It certainly is not a color but rather gentian violet is just a quite popular treatment for thrush. Thrush occurs because of infections on the skin or mucous membranes inside the mouth and may infect both infants and adults. People at special risk for developing thrush are the following: newborn babies, denture users, adults with diabetes or other metabolic disturbance, people undergoing antibiotic or chemotherapy treatment, drug users, people with poor nutrition and people with an immune deficiency. These people or the people around them, whichever is applicable, should be extra observant so that any signs or symptoms of thrush can be detected and then treated right away otherwise the condition has a chance of worsening. It is a belief of many that gentian violet is the most effective treatment of nipple soreness for breastfeeding mothers. The mothers who have used gentian violet can attest that relief is rapid so meaning it usually works right when you need it meaning as soon as possible but make sure that the dosage is right. To be discussed in the paragraphs to follow are some of the suggestions to people who use and about to use gentian violet for thrush. These next items will indeed be very useful to gentian violet users. Gentian violet can be messy so timing, though not everything in this case, of the application of this treatment is essential. Most mothers prefer to doing the treatment just before they get a good nights sleep because during those house they can keep their nipples exposed thus no need to worry about staining their clothes while the application is in progress. The effect of the gentian violet for thrush is sort of immediate and in most cases thrush is one hundred percent gone by the third day if not then consider applying affected areas for a few more days. If problem persists then it is time to consult your doctor. If baby is irritable while being nurse by a mother who uses gentian violet for thrush then the mother should stop using the gentian violet immediately and then go see a doctor instead for other possible suggestions for the treatment of the thrush. There are other ways to cure thrush but gentian violet is still the one thing that people readily look for when thrush occurs. In this case there is a need to make sure that it is the genuine gentian violet for thrush and not some rip off medicine that you have in hand. This is so because some people are questioning the credibility of gentian violet and some attribute the failed times of gentian violet to fake products that do not have same ingredients as the real gentian violet. These are just some of the things that users of gentian violet for thrush should be aware of. The notes are just easy to remember. It is now possible for you to recall how and why gentian violet should be used for thrush. If unfortunately one day you wake up and discover that you have thrush then you can use the information in this article for your own good. Otherwise you can always provide the information you have read to a very worried mother whose kid has thrush but who knows nothing about gentian violet. ----------------------------------------

Mother Cow Report Card

By Victor Epand In one respect, possibly the best person to do a preliminary assessment of a cow protection program is an accountant, because of his or her training to evaluate performance in terms of names, dates and numbers. These factors reveal a lot about the quality of cow protection, even before the project is visited. Let's evaluate the Mother Cow program by a set of standards (abbreviated here) that I posted a year ago. The point here is not to attack Mother Cow, but rather by revealing positive standards of cow protection to promote the defense of Dharma in all cow protection programs. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. The entire herd should be counted daily. * Whether Mother Cow follows this standard is unknown, but probably it would not be difficult at least to count the cows still being maintained at Mother Cow. 2. Every cow should have a name. * It appears that all Mother Cow's milking cows have names, but it's worth noting that the website doesn't give names of any calves or bulls. Thus it's harder to know what becomes of them, and less noticeable when they are missing. 3. Records should be kept with the name, sex, date of birth of each cow. When a cow or calf dies, the cause of death and date of death should be recorded. Annual records should be provided to members each year. * Unknown. Website does not specify whether members receive an annual cow census. 4. Calf mortality should be less than 10%. In the absence of proper records, this can be determined retroactively by seeing how many cows have been milking in the last 2-3 years and determining how many of their calves are still alive. * Website indicates over 50 calves born to 22 milking cows - yet Mother Cow states it is protecting only 12 calves. What happened to the other 40 calves? 5. Analyzed by sex, the herd should be approximately 50% cows, 50% bulls or oxen. If there are far more females than males, it's a sign of a discrepancy - either in the organization's incomplete understanding of cow protection, or in substandard protection for bull calves. * Website indicates over 50 calves born to 22 milking cows - yet Mother Cow states that it has only one bull and one ox. Of the total of 70 animals, only 2 males are currently protected by Mother cow (less than 3 percent). The oxen shown in the website's photo don't appear to be from Mother Cow, since all the cows are taurean breeds, but the oxen shown are Indic or Brahmin breed. 6. Any cow who has taken shelter on Krsna's land or in Krsna's temple should never be subsequently sold, traded, given away or killed. * Statistics show that several dozen cows are missing from the herd. We're assured that bull calves are given to a Jain project where they will be "protected for life." Out of site, out of mind. On one hand, if the Jain temple is protecting these cows, why not donate money directly to the Jains? On the other hand, getting rid of unprofitable cows by giving them to others makes Mother Cow's claims of providing life-time protection unconvincing. BREEDING AND AQUIRING COWS 7. No cow should be bred for milk production alone, without plans for the resulting calf. No cow should be bred unless there is a clear and concrete plan for the care of the calf for its entire life, which may be 10-20 years. This means there must be adequate land, adequate funding and adequate trained personnel to care for the resulting calf. * The statement of goals indicates that cows are being bred primarily for milk production: "Our plans for expansion include the purchase of 6 acres of land (in addition to our present 3 acres of land), 40 milk cows." Cows are not being bred to produce working oxen, nor is there any description of training the resulting bull calves, who appear to be simply unwanted offspring. 8. Cows should not be acquired based on sentiment alone. A goshalla should not allow itself to be exploited by those who "donate" animals with mixed motives. * Mother Cow cannot be accused of this flaw. 9. Milking should be a pleasurable experience for the cow. * Milking techniques are unknown. This is generally difficult to assess without being on-site. There seem to be enough cowherds to prevent the necessity of machine milking. 10. Milk production should not be developed primarily as a profit-making venture. "You say we must have a gosala trust, that is our real purpose. krsi-goraksya-vanijyam vaisya karma svabhava-jam, [Bg 18.44]. Where there is agriculture there must be cows. That is our mission: Cow protection and agriculture and if there is excess, trade. This is a no-profit scheme... * It seems clear that this project has been developed primarily as a profit-making venture, which is why most of the calves are missing. It's simply not profitable to keep them. Profit-motive, especially in a competitive capitalist system, always endangers the welfare of cows. (See also my article, "Why Commercial Dairies Can't Stop Killing," Back To Godhead, Vol. 30, No 6, 1996.) TRAINING OF OXEN OR BULLOCKS 11. In general, all bull calves should be trained to work. As Srila Prabhupada stated, "If you do not use the bulls for plowing, one day you will say, let us cut their throats." * Out of 70 animals, it appears that one ox is being trained to work. 12. No ox should be overworked or worked by force only. * Not relevant at this point, since no oxen are working. 13. In general, bull calves should be castrated by the time they are 1 year old, or whatever age is appropriate for that breed. This can be done with minimum discomfort by using a bloodless emasculator or burdizzo, which only pinches the semen tubes to achieve sterilization. * Whether oxen are castrated before being given to the Jains is unknown. SHELTER, GRAZING AND FEED 14. The cows' living conditions should be clean and comfortable. * The 30 animals who have been permitted to remain at Mother Cow appear to have clean facilities. The living conditions of animals donated to the Jain goshalla are unknown. 15. All cows should have adequate shelter. * Again, the 30 animals who remain at Mother Cow seem to have adequate shelter. It is unknown what kind of shelter the other 40 animals have. 16. Adequate fencing should be maintained. * Apparently the fencing is adequate since the goshalla stresses that cows are not permitted to wander the streets eating hazardous garbage. Thus they are also protected from street injuries and from slaughter by rustlers. 17. Cows must be provided sufficient grazing opportunity. And, as stated by Bhismadeva in the Mahabharata, no cow should be kept always tethered. * Grazing opportunities unknown. 18. The program should maintain adequate pasture for animals. Generally the minimum would be at least 1/2 acre (1/4 hectare) per animal, preferably 1 acre per animal. * 30 cows on 3 acres of land means 1/10 acre of land for each animal, probably less, because buildings occupy some land. Mother Cow plans to purchase more land, but indicates land will be for 40 more cows (and presumably their 40 more calves). "Our plans for expansion include the purchase of 6 acres of land (in addition to our present 3 acres of land), 40 milk cows, 2 fully equipped barns..." It appears that to increase profitability of the dairy, conditions will become more crowded, not less crowded. 19. Cows should be sufficiently well fed. * It appears that the 22 milking cows are well fed. The conditions of the animals sent to the Jain goshalla are unknown. 20. Ideally, feed for the cows should be grown on site, not purchased from outside. * Given the small amount of land, most feed must be purchased from outside, but it appears from the photos that some is grown on site. FUNDING AND ACCOUNTING 21. The goshalla should have an accurate and clear method of keeping accounts, and members should be presented with an annual statement of accounts. * It is unknown whether members are presented with an annual statement of accounts. Since the endeavor is set up primarily as a profit-making dairy rather than as a cow protection program, it seems doubtful that the standard of public accounting exists at this stage. 22. Ideally, funds collected for a goshalla or cow protection program should be kept separate from other accounts, such as that of a temple or community facility. Funds should not be invested in any speculative business enterprise. * Unknown. COWHERD TRAINING AND SUPPORT 23. Cowherds should be recognized as important members in the spiritual community. * Whether cowherd are regarded as members of the spiritual community is unknown. The fact that their photos are highlighted on the website seems positive. When cowherds are publicly praised, they take pride in their work. This usually results in better care for the cows. 24. Ideally, the goshalla should maintain a well designed program for training cowherds and ox-power farmers. * Training program for cowherds is unknown, but probably there is some program in place or the facilities would not look as good as they do. It is doubtful that there is a training program for teamsters, since most bull calves are sent away, 25. Cowherds should be facilitated and supported so they can have a decent, if simple, standard of living... Without proper training, facility and care of its cowherds, a cow protection program is threatened by constant turnover of staff and may eventually collapse. * Standard of living and rate of turnover among the cowherds is unknown. MEMBERSHIP AND OUTREACH 26. A goshalla should use its cow protection program as a means of attracting the public to Krsna consciousness. *Difficult to assess at this point. 27. Activities of the cow protection program should be highlighted on community websites and during religious holidays and festivals such as Gaura Purnima, Janmastami, Govardhana Puja and Ratha Yatra. The Deities can be read accounts of the activities of the year, not only how much milk or burfi was produced, but also how many oxen were trained, how much area they plowed, how much wood they hauled, how many bushels of vegetables they produced, etc ? showcasing the offerings of the animals to the Lord. * Unknown. 28. A cow protection program should provide opportunity for members' input and participation. This can be achieved through questionnaires, newsletters, workshops, and pre-festival meetings. * Members are invited to come to the farm, and they exchange letters at Mother Cow's public website. CONCLUSION Though established primarily as a profit-making dairy, Mother Cow displays interest in some aspects cow protection. An informed membership can guide this interest to greater incorporation of the principles of Dharma, especially through proper protection, training and utilization of Father Bull, which will be more in keeping with the practice of Krsna consciousness. Chakra.org is a Vaisnava website designed to encourage the growth of devotion, and foster critical thinking.

Translation and Your International E-Commerce Strategy

By Ivan Vandermerwe Most businesses realize that they are simply a click away from any corner of the globe. Well, actually two if you include the Yahoo! search a potential customer does to access your shopping cart. What most businesses, unfortunately, do not realize though, is that their shopping cart is struggling to make it to the checkout counter. Bill Dunlap, managing director of Global Reach, Inc. notes that "for every $2 million a site is doing in domestic sales, they're leaving another $1 million on the table in international sales if they're not making themselves easily available."

To paraphrase the above, let me draw on a quote from Willy Brandt. The former West German chancellor is reported to have
once said: "If I'm selling to you, I speak your language. If I'm buying, dann muessen Sie Deutsch sprechen (then you must
speak German)."

In economics this is referred to as opportunity cost -the cost of something in terms of an opportunity foregone. The opportunity cost of not speaking "German" is a whopping 50%! This simple truth is supported by statistics.

Donald A. DePalma reported in a study conducted for Forrester Research that "Visitors linger twice as long as they do at
English-only URLs; business buyers are three times more likely to buy if addressed in their own language; and
customer service costs drop when instructions are displayed in the users language." (Donald A. DePalma, Strategies for Global
Sites, 1998).

Another Forrester Research report, quoted in an article titled "Reasons for Success in International E-Commerce" (webpronews.com) provides statistics that indicate "over 55% of the online world accesses the Internet from countries where English is not the native language."

The message is loud and clear: Do not assume that there is no reason to translate your marketing materials or that
English is used in other countries! To be sure, English is the lingua franca of the world, and many people do have the ability to read English. But, faced with a choice, would you pull out your wallet for a company that caters to your needs in your non-native language, or your native language?

If translation is not part of your international e-commerce strategy, then you may be leaving money on the table!

And, if you see the truth in this message, you have a couple of options available: you can develop an in-house translation
capability, or you can commission a professional translation service to translate your marketing materials. Developing an in-house translation capability is prohibitively expensive, not to mention that it is a long term effort. An appropriate analogy to illustrate this point is that of an IT department.

Buying translation, however, can be overwhelming with all the technical jargon, and frustrating with all the endless marketing hype and "mission statements" that are thrown at you. Fact is, the basics of purchasing translation are easy. Read on.

Your starting point should be the clarification of your translation project requirements. Consider:


Whether your marketing materials are for internal consumption (including partners) or external consumption?


Whether cost is more important or quality is more important?


What is the time frame for your project?


What are your ongoing (long-term) professional translation service needs?


By clarifying project requirements, you are establishing the framework to answer the 2 most important questions that will determine the success of your translation project. Namely, what is the right type of translation, and what is the right professional translation service for your translation project?

There are two types of translation:

Machine translation (MT)
Human translation

In machine translation, a human translator supports the machine. In other words, a computer program translates the source text (i.e. the "from" language), with the resultant target text (i.e. the "to" language) then being edited by a qualified human translator, if it is edited at all. Machine translation (MT) is employed for "gisting" or, to get the general meaning (gist) of a document which can be useful when marketing material is only for internal consumption.

Is machine translation right for your marketing materials? "Free online translations, is, well...free-the cost is right, but can you live with the quality?" is a short, informative works on machine translation (MT). Read it before continuing.

Consider this recent headline from the Yahoo! Odd News section (2005-07-05)-"The Wurst museum in the world?" You guessed it-it is not a bad museum but one dedicated to...German sausages! If your marketing materials are rich and descriptive, and for external consumption, then machine translation (MT) is not an option.

Commission a professional translation service, and put human translators to work on your marketing materials.

Selecting the right professional translation service can be just as frustrating as selecting the right type of translation for your project. Do you go with a professional translation service provided by a translation company, a translation agency or a free-lance translator?

Review the requirements of your translation project. Now ask yourself "What is the right professional translation service?"

"Free Online Translations Guide-Professional Translation Service" provides a check list that is helpful in determining what translation service should be entrusted with your marketing materials. While the list is not exhaustive, it will guarantee that you get the most value for your investment in translation in terms of cost and quality.

Establishing a criteria list provided the basis for determining what the right type of translation, and what the right professional translation service, is for your translation project. Now, before you hit the search engines, guarantee the success of your translation project by taking a few more minutes to truly prepare (peace of mind; priceless!). Read "Buying Online Translations Tips and Techniques."

And that is it-it is that simple! Translating marketing materials will ensure that your international e-commerce strategy speaks "German," will ensure that your shopping cart makes it to the checkout counter, and will ensure that no money is left on the table. About the Author:

Mobile Phones- Compare Before You Buy

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Fletcher_Mak]Fletcher Mak The latest addiction that has engulfed the human race is mobile phones. Termed as necessary evil, they have made our lives much easier and better connected. Take them anywhere and you will remain connected to the world. Observing the craze for this device, the mobile phone industry is evolving in an exponential manner. The technology of mobile phones is getting better everyday and competition has increased. Consequently, the focus of manufacturers has now shifted on the marketing and sales promotions of mobile phones and the target users. In the business world, the consumer is termed as the king and there are a lot of overt benefits that they seem to enjoy amidst the fierce competition that is faced by the various mobile phone manufactures. By virtue of the trend that has come up in the form of contract mobile phones, the consumer has all the choice in availing the enormous benefits that are showered by the network service providers. There is a wide variety in the mobile phone deals that a consumer can choose from depending upon his need and requirements. The consumers should realize the importance of comparison in such scenario. The comparison enables a user to compare mobile phones going by their manufacturers, prices and specifications. Taking about the Internet marketing, there are quite a few online mobile phone shops that provide you comparison and the tariff of your choice. Many times you even get the handset for free along with added incentives like Cashback, holiday trips, i-Pod and so on. However, the service providers are here to earn business and profits (in a subtle manner though), so you must be careful in your understanding of the mobile phone deal in order to avail the best incentives offered by the service providers.
So, next time whenever you choose your mobile phone, don't forget the comparison part. And you will be able to find the best deal for you!!

College Health - Teen Health And Teen Fitness - High School Workouts VS Effective Workouts

By Matt Elder Its funny what happens to gyms across the country around 2:30 to about 4. This is when the typical housewife leaves the gym and the typical high school (or college) student comes in to workout. They arent concerned with teen fitness, teen health or college health. They are much more concerned with other things. If teens today cared about teen health and teen fitness, they might get better results at the gym, look better, feel better, etc. But they arent concerned with teen health. They are concerned with how they look and the numbers they put up. College students and high school students (males and females, unfortunately.each have their own specific flaws) come to the gym typically for social/ego purposes. (Before you bombard me with messages about how you are concerned with teen health and teen fitness, let me say I am generalizing after years and years in the gym). Males at the gym not concerned with teen fitness: Its a numbers game, not a teen heath game. By that I mean they throw on three plates on each side to squat, bend their knees three inches, and stand up. BOOM. They can now go to the locker room and say they squatted 315. Not exactly teen fitness. Females at the gym: social hour, not teen health or college health. Either its boy hunting, or talking amongst yourselves between sets. College health is not about chit chatting.
Teen health is not about squatting large numbers.
Teen fitness is not about socializing. Now, don't get me wrong, teen health and teen fitness can be accomplished in a social atmosphere. But college health and teen health needs good workouts also. College health is a major problem with buffets and Jack Daniels, and college health will not improve while soroiety sisters talk. Teen fitness and teen health is about good, hard workouts.
College health is about simple lifestyle changes. Teen health, teen fitness and college health can easily be accomplished with small workout and life changes. College health is key to living a healthy life in 30 years. Teen health and teen fitness is vital to starting off your life healthy. Quick tips to improve teen health and college health:
-Shorten, but intensify your workouts.
-Talk less, lift more
-Lift weights to lose weight (very important to teen fitness and college health)
-Have fun! Teen health, college health and teen fitness is easy and fun! Get fit, stay fit, live longer and live happier!

Circumcised or Uncircumcised?

By Mellody Davis When the Bible speak of circumcision, what does it really mean? Some say its the cutting of ones private part of the body, some say its the matter of the heart. We must first understand that there are two very important facts surrounding this subject. One is that in the Old Testament men were under the law, and now in the New Testament men are under the Grace of God. Lets see what the Bible say about being circumcised. Lets start with the book of Genesis 17:9 it says Then God said to Abraham, As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your
descendants after you for the generations to come. This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep; Every male among you shall be circumcised. Look at what the book of Romans 4:11 tell us it says And he (Abraham) received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised , so then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised. Now look at Galatians 3:6 it says Consider Abraham; He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. Look at Galatians 3:10 it says All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written; Curse is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law. Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, The righteous will live by faith. The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, The man who does these things will live by them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written; Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree. He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Look at 1Corinthians 7:19 it says Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping Gods commands is what counts. Each one should remain in the situation which he was in when God called him. Now look at Romans 2:29 it says No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a mans praise is not from men, but from God. Look at Colossians 3:9 it says Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircmcised, or barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. In closing look at Galatians 2:15 it says We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too have put our faith in Christ Jesus that may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified. Now look at Hebrews 10:35 it says So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will received what he has promised. For in just a very little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him. But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. Love Always,
Your Sister in Christ,
