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

We Are Women, Hear Us Roar!!!

"Let heaven roar, and fire fall, come shake the ground with the sound of revival!!!"
~Like a Lion

I could not be prouder of the women and girls of Celebration Church. Last night many of them came out for W.O.W.W. night at the church (Women of Worship and Warfare) to cry out to God on behalf of our families, our church, our city, our nation and our world. 

THEY. WENT. AFTER. IT.

Nothing like Pentecostal girls who know how to chase God!

Here are some photo highlights of the night -- all photos courtesy of Rachael Rice.

What can stop us? What can stand against us? NOTHING.
Kaitlyn has such a tender heart. So glad she shares it with us...
Sunshine prays over North Tampa...
Joining together as a unified force for CHANGE!
Cindy knows how to reach God's heart. Love. This. Woman.
Angela, sweet Angela...loves God and others, so much.
Mary...one of God's gifts to me. So thankful for this lady.
Joining together in unity, pressing in and going to war in the spirit for our marriages, our children, the church, our city, nation and world. 
You look up sweet in the dictionary. This girl's picture is there. Taylor Faux. She's amazing.
We get things done for God. 
At the end of the night, Michele came and took the microphone and said, "PD, we want to support you and surround you in prayer." Pretty awesome. They prayed for me for strength and wisdom as I lead Celebration with Larry as well as anointing as I fulfill the speaking engagements God continues to open up for me outside of CC.
So blessed to lead this amazing group of girls and women and thank God every day for His presence and guidance.

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
