What To Do First to Make a Profit

The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat  ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're  not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director.  Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year.  God has done amazing things through out team, for which we give Him the glory! I find that what Seth is saying here is absolutely true, with one disclaimer. For Christian leaders, spiritual disciplines must always be first. Before we started i...

10 things you may or may not be wondering about



If you were independently wealthy and could do anything in life, what would you do?
The same thing I’m doing now. Except I would spend a lot of that money on book publishing.

 What one thing about you would people really be surprised to know?
I once played on a sports team. (soccer) And no, I don’t like playing team sports, in fact I detest it. 
 But I do love being on a church pastoral team.

 What is your least favorite way to spend a day?
Housework – but I try my best to find ways to make it fun.

 What was your favorite TV show as a child?
The Partridge Family.Be honest…if you have children, do you have a favorite?
Honestly they are all my favorite in some way, not just saying that to get out of this question! Dustin is my favorite because of his obedience. Jordan is my favorite for his affection and tenderness. Savanna is my favorite because I can do girl things with her, and enjoyed our time together so much from the day she was born.

 What is your idea of the perfect date?
Dinner in a high rise hotel – on the top floor in a restaurant – overlooking the lights of the city. Restaurant would definitely specialize in seafood. Going straight to the hotel room after dinner.

What is your idea of the perfect vacation?
So many ideas, but above all would really like to stay at an “all inclusive” resort on the beach, where I have nothing to do but relax and have fun.

 When have you been the happiest in your life?
Right now.What is your favorite TV show right now?
Forensic FilesWhat is something that really bugs you that people do in stores?
When they put an outfit back on the wrong size rack and I get excited about it and then realize it was a size 4 put back in the wrong place. Sometimes you have to pray in the spirit for an hour to get over something like that.

WATCH OUT FOR THE
NEW FACEBOOK SCAM!!!

In the early hours of this morning, Jordan got home from work and checked his facebook and instantly received an IM from a friend who claimed to be in London, having been just robbed at gunpoint. Understandably Jordan was very concerned. His friend said he needed Jordan to send him some money immediately, as he was stranded. Jordan immediately alerted his father and I of the situation, thinking it was real and his friend needed help and wanted to know what he could or should do to reach out. Thankfully I had just heard on the news the day before that this was a new facebook scam where people were hacking into people's accounts and contacting their friends to ask for money, saying that they were in dangerous or dire situations. I alerted Jordan and we contacted his friend and his friend's parents and sister to get ahold of him immediately to take care of his account. Jordan said, "Mom, you need to put this on your blog and let people know about it so it won't happen to ...

Sisterhood Rises Up To Change Lives Forever

God is in the business of preserving families. It is His heart. It's my heart too. And, I'll unabashedly say here that I believe it should be everyone's heart. Everyone likes good news and I've got some for you today. If you are in doubt that God still speaks today and that He uses people to accomplish His work, I pray this will speak to you. Last night I was sitting in service at Celebration Church where we are pastors, and my husband was preaching. His message was about what we want to be remembered for in life, and he made the statement that we can't change our past but we can change the future.  In that moment, God spoke to me. He began to give me my next post for Lost Daughters, where I'm also a blogger. To be honest it's more than just another place where I blog. It's a sisterhood. A lifeline. A place that has come to mean a great deal to me, because of the amazing women who are there. During the service I basically had this entire post...
