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.

As time has gone on and I have lost absolutely 100% of any inkling for political things, district business meetings have lost any luster they once had. So our guys went on to the business meeting and we got a little extra sleep and then headed to the women's meeting. It was a wonderful morning/afternoon. Marsha did a fantastic job. Preacher extraordinaire. Also, the more time I spend with our children's pastors (Trinity and Misty) over the years, the better it gets! I tell 
you what, if you cut these people open they would bleed loyalty. As anyone knows in ministry, this is not always easy to find. And aside from the loyalty factor they are just FUN, so fun. We are blessed, blessed, blessed. The more time I spend with them, the more I adore them. You've heard me talk about them a lot but in case you've never seen their pic...here they are. :-)
