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!

I'm Just Being Transparent...

This year at the Stronger Conference, a young minister stopped me as I was walking out of the room at the conclusion of a workshop and she said, "I want to tell you something..." (I was all ears.) She said, "Do you notice how many of the speakers this weekend are saying, "Now, I'm just being transparent when I tell you..." or "I'm just keepin' it real..." I nodded yes. In fact, I mentioned that I was one of those speakers. I think I probably said a few times in both my keynote message and my workshop that I was just "keepin' it real."

After I affirmed that yes, I had noticed that -- she said, "Do you know why they have to do that? They do it...and you do it, because so many people don't keep it real. So many in leadership aren't transparent, Deanna. That's why all these people speaking here feel an urge to declare their transparency.." I let her know that usually when I say, "I'm just keeping …

What To Do First to Make a Profit

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 investing and training and all of that, seeking God for his blessing and…

This Could Have Ruined Everything... (But It Didn't!)

No one would ever guess what happened to me this weekend in Jacksonville, Florida...so I'm going to tell you. :)

As I was preaching at the Fearless Tour at New Hope Assembly of God this weekend, I got choked up, literally. For probably 2-3 minutes I coughed profusely and greatly struggled. Then I drank some water and kept preaching. Everyone was gracious to give me a few moments to get my bearings. If you were there, you'll remember it!

What no one realized at the time was that I swallowed a bug that flew right in while I was preaching! So disgusting! I said nothing because I was at a point in the sermon where I was really connecting and I knew if I said, "I swallowed a bug," everyone would either laugh profusely or be really concerned, or start feeling sorry for me. And at that point whey wouldn't be thinking about the message anymore, but the fact that I had just swallowed a bug. They would then imagine what it would be like, and feel grossed out which is u…
