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...

Fun Friday


Slept in today - although the phone did ring at 10 am, I just kept sleeping through it and ignored it. Oh the bliss. I love Fridays for the sleep, first of all.



I took my time doing little stuff and then went to the grocery for some things. The boys and Stephen were at work all day getting things done and Savanna played with Molly. I made curried chicken and rice for dinner with some summer squash on the side. They (3 boys) seemed to really like it. (Recipe below if you are interested.) Larry and Savanna aren't as crazy about the recipe but they ate it and then played Monopoly. I would really, really like to go outside but it's so blasted hot you can't be out there more than about 5 minutes. So I guess I'll exercise inside and read my Bible and books in my rocking chair. I think tonight I'm going to light all the candles in my bathroom and fill up the tub,get in and soak while I listen to Duke Ellington.


Indian Curried Chicken




2 cups shitake mushrooms, sliced

1 cup onions, chopped

1/2 cup celery, chopped


1 medium garlic clove, minced

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs , cut into bite-size pieces

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1/4 cup fat-free chicken broth

1 & 1/2 teaspoons curry powder

1 teaspoon table salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

3 cups canned crushed tomatoes

1/4 cup golden seedless raisins

Hot cooked rice

Saute mushrooms, onions, celery and garlic for 5 minutes; put in crock pot with chicken.
Stir together flour and chicken broth until smooth; add to crock pot. Add curry powder, salt, pepper, paprika, tomatoes and raisins. Cook in crockpot on LOW for 5 hours.
Serve over rice.

As some of you friends know, my husband is severely allergic to mushrooms, therefore we don't ever include them in any recipe, so I don't use them in this but left it in for you. :-) Makes 4 servings; 1/4 of this dish is 7 weight watcher points

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...

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...
