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 inve

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!

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

Fifty Shades of No Way

This weekend, the Fifty Shades of Grey movie will be released and millions of women are expected to flock to the theat er s.  I will not be one of those women.   As a leader of women , some have asked me about this movie. The following is my thoughtful response. Fifty Shades of Grey has topped best-seller lists around the world. The book series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide, and been translated into 52 languages. It set the record as the fastest-selling paperback of all time.   Is Fifty Shades of Grey just a harmless book or movie? Although n o one seems to be debating this fact, let’s first establish that it’s pornography.  And not just porn, but a genre that is even more dangerous for women. The book glorifies a female character that is controlled and abused by her partner.   Who is excited about this book and mov ie? Hmmmm….you might be surprised. Many women and girls in our churches have read it. Sadly, I am even aware of

Relevant Church doing something...

incredibly RELEVANT!

I just heard some news today that really inspired me. A church here in Tampa, Relevant Church is doing a new thing this month called the "30 Days Sex Challenge." (I've never visited the church but Pastor Trinity - our children's pastor - has visited or has met some people from this church and he was very impressed.) Realizing that this is a major element missing from some marriages (the frequency factor) their lead pastor, Paul Wirth, has issued a challenge for all the married couples to have sex for 30 days in a row. At the same time he has issued a challenge for all unmarrieds to completely abstain from sex. Of course we know the Bible says that those who are unmarried should not have sex in the first place but the point is, a lot of unmarried's aren't obeying the Lord's command to abstain and this is just one pastor's way of trying to get them to see that indeed, there is a better way! (God's way!) At the same time, many married couples are not
