Esther 2

This morning's sermon was from Esther 2. When the pastor read this verse

12 Now when the turn came for each young woman to go in to King Ahasuerus, after being twelve months under the regulations for the women, since this was the regular period of their beautifying, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and ointments for women—

and said that it took 12 months of beautifying for the virgins to be ready for the king, I leaned over to Jayne and said, "If they used Mary Kay it would be 2-3 days, 2-3 weeks, or 2-3 months!"
