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 inve

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)

Some people will never understand this...

And that's okay. Just let us be as we lavish love upon the fur-kids of the world. It doesn't mean we don't care about people. We do care. In fact most of the people I know who are great pet lovers are also the greatest philanthropists. If you're not a dog lover, you might not understand the overwhelming intensity that many of us felt about Tank's reunion this past week. You might think we've lost our marbles. That's okay, we think you've lost your heart. ;)  Before I go on with this post, let me say that we were delighted that CBS 10 posted the video and article about Tank and his Celebration Church reunion yesterday. Click here to watch it. (But then come back!) If you haven't realized it, there is a revolution in America about dogs. Dogs have always been loved and known as the most loyal companions ~ "man's best friend". But things have gone way beyond this. Dogs aren't just dogs or friends anymore. They are family me

Fifty Shades of No Way

This weekend, the Fifty Shades of Grey movie will be released and millions of women are expected to flock to the theat er s.  I will not be one of those women.   As a leader of women , some have asked me about this movie. The following is my thoughtful response. Fifty Shades of Grey has topped best-seller lists around the world. The book series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide, and been translated into 52 languages. It set the record as the fastest-selling paperback of all time.   Is Fifty Shades of Grey just a harmless book or movie? Although n o one seems to be debating this fact, let’s first establish that it’s pornography.  And not just porn, but a genre that is even more dangerous for women. The book glorifies a female character that is controlled and abused by her partner.   Who is excited about this book and mov ie? Hmmmm….you might be surprised. Many women and girls in our churches have read it. Sadly, I am even aware of
