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...

Larry hosting America's Prayer Meeting



Larry will be hosting America's Prayer Meeting on CTN, SkyAngel2, which is all over the nation - so check local listings and if you can't get it on your TV, go to http://www.ctnonline.com/. Once you get to the website, go all the way down to the bottom right hand corner and click on "LIVE WEBCAST." The show is on at midnight each night. Larry is hosting tonight (July 5), tomorrow, and Monday. He is the periodic guest host.

Check it out tonight and see my hot babe as he leads America in prayer. :-)

Oh by the way, we always have a "word of the night" that he lets me know he's thinking of me. Tonight the word is "welcome."

He always takes somebody with him when he hosts, just for company. (They don't say anything, they just sit quietly in the studio for 3 hours while he does the show and they watch him.) Toinght he took Savanna. She went in her jammies with her little notebook to write in. She is writing a book right now. It's about a boy who is lost and keeps meeting weird girls or something like that. Anyway, he took her for a burger to Wendy's on the way and she's all set. She has been wanting to go with him for a long time and he didn't know if she could handle the 3 hours, but they are giving it a try.

As for me I have just listened to three preaching podcasts while I cleaned out our walk in closet. I have been dreading this but I'm so glad it's done. A few times a year I have to completely organize it. Tonight was the night. The boys and Stephen are out at the movies. I have the house to myself. Since I have listened to three sermons and am totally pumped up on the Word, I'm going to do my prayer list, and then watch Larry for a while on TV and go to bed til I can't stay up anymore. (Show goes from midnight to 3 am.)

Five things that make me real happy about today:

1) My closet is CLEAN!

2) I got my ring back from Littman's today! That makes me happy. It's now perfectly sized.

3) I got my work done somehow even though we didn't have phones, internet, copier, or really anything at the office this week. However I'm making good time.

4) Things are coming along for UNSTOPPABLE. I have the greatest friend in the world!

5) This peach iced tea I made is tasting really good right now.

Off to pray - g'night all.

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...
