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...

Let's go to church and then eat something moan-worthy...


Today is the first Sunday of the new year and I couldn't be more excited!  Four more weeks and CELEBRATION is reality.  After what will be a great service today we're having a choir luncheon and rehearsal.  It's a covered dish luncheon and today I decided to bring Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese.  You'll love this, I promise...it's so easy and I guarantee you'll moan while you're eating it.  I just love recipes that are moan-worthy.  Stuff that just oozes C-O-M-F-0-R-T.  I probably should not be giving this recipe the two days after everyone has made their new year's resolutions, but oh well we should all have enough of the Holy Ghost in us to handle a little bit of macaroni and cheese without going off the deep end.  

CROCKPOT MACARONI AND CHEESE
8oz of cooked macaroni
1 (12oz) can of evaporated milk
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 oz sour cream
1 cup milk
4 cups sharp cheddar cheese

Mix all ingredients except for 1/2 cup of cheese poured into a greased crock pot. Put 1/2 cup of cheese on top. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.

Now, I doubled this recipe and it feeds a lot of people, and it all fits into a large crock pot.  Let me make it easy for you by printing the "double recipe" here:

DOUBLE RECIPE:
16 oz of cooked macaroni
2 (12oz) cans of evaporated milk
4 eggs
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
8 oz sour cream
2 cups milk
8 cups sharp cheddar cheese

You will definitely want to double this if you are taking it for a church event or having a lot of people over.  So good and will probably feed about 20!  As I often say, it would "make a tadpole slap a whale."  Enjoy!

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...

Lost Daughters & Me

Last month I wrote my very first adoption related post here on my blog, and said it would probably be my first and last. I was aware of the controversy it would probably bring, as well as the hurtful feelings that would result if those who are not adoptees rose up to disagree.  Although everyone wasn't totally happy, the positive response was overwhelming. I received a lot of private mail that was encouraging, and it outweighed the negative reactions. A few people literally begged me to write more. I wrote a follow up post here , about what I planned to do next. After prayer and consideration, I know I am supposed to start a separate blog about adoption, in addition to writing here at deannashrodes.net.  I am working on this new blog (though it is not live yet), as well as launching a Tampa support group for adult adoptees. However, I believe the best way for me to get my feet wet as I start the blog and support group is to begin by joining others. I need to learn, gr...
