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...

I'm on the same poster as Pastor Lisa...yippee-aye-aye!


Okay so it's official...I'm going to Pastor Lisa's church in Houston, TX to minister at her upcoming women's conference.

Check out this flyer with these power packed sistas who are going to bring it on home. Woo hoo, I can hardly wait!!!

Theme is "Dispelling the Lies Women Tell Themselves". Okay, my top ten lies women believe would be....

1) I can stop at just eating one or two Pringles.

2) I really do need more than five pairs of black heels.

3) My friend's husband hit her once but he was just having an off day. He won't do it again.

4) Ditto the above but just substitute "had an affair" for hit her once.

5) If my husband's ex-girlfriend hasn't gained any weight since high school and really looks better with age, it really doesn't bother me.

6) I just want to check e-mail one more time before going to sleep. It's only gonna take two seconds...

7) So and so's husband is so perfect compared to mine...

8) Yes, New Kids on the Block was one of the greatest groups of all time!

9) I don't really care if my friend points out to me that she homemade 30 cupcakes with special princess tops for her daughter's birthday party when I sent in 2 packages of storebought cookies because I was running short on time.

10) I don't really care that my son's new girlfriend has a tramp stamp on her back. I mean, as long as she loves Jesus that's all that matters...right?

I'm only kidding Lisa! I'll have a power packed Word direct from God ~ just having a little fun with your theme tonight. :-) Love you.

p.s. Uh, my son's new girlfriend also does not have a tramp stamp...he wouldn't speak to me for a few days if he thought I said that and people truly took it seriously... (lol)

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 ...

Have you chosen a word of the year?

Selecting a personal word of the year has been my custom for many years. The word is my theme of the year and something for me to focus on, to build my faith and to grow. Each year I look for ways to remind myself of the theme…everything from a decorative sign with the word, to a piece of jewelry. This year my word is resilient.  All my life I have had to be resilient, and some years more than others.   I know it is this way with everyone to a degree. No one is immune to pain or problems. But frankly, some people are more resilient than others.   I have been studying those who are most resilient and trying to learn from them. With 2017 coming to a close,I have things to bounce back from. There are parts of my life I’m absolutely slaying and other parts that are out of my control. If I could control it, I would have already given everything I have to slaying it.   The challenges remaining are out of the realm of me being able to change them asid...
