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...
Today's my day off and I started it by reading ABC news online. Imagine my amazement to find a woman in Los Angeles claims to have been seriously harmed by a pair of panties and she's suing! Lawsuits today amaze me. It would be nothing but laughable if it didn't cost us so much. I say "us" because you do realize when somebody wins one of these million dollar lawsuits, such as for spilling hot coffee on themselves at McDonalds - it's us, the consumers that get that cost passed on to us as prices get raised to cover the cost of their legal battles. Anyway...
The latest in a string (pardon the pun) of frivolous lawsuits is a woman who now claims she was injured by a thong at Victoria's Secret. No kidding. Read it here. And no, this isn't being reported by tabloids, you can read it in the NY Times, Fox News, ABC News, etc.
This lady claims she was trying on a thong and a little metallic decoration flew off and hit her in the eye. Okay, so maybe that's possible, but the disturbing thing, in my opinion that nobody is commenting on is...WHY WAS SHE TRYING ON A THONG?
This is so gross to me, it's unthinkable. No, not the issue of wearing thongs - I mean, I have no problem with that, but my point is, no one should be TRYING THEM ON. The last I checked, women aren't supposed to "try out" panties at the store. We know our size, we buy them, and hopefully they fit. I have never in my life tried on underwear before buying it, and don't plan to start. And, I certainly hope no one's trying mine on before I buy it! Yeeecck!
I am just totally amazed not just at this lady's lawsuit but the fact that nobody is asking, "why were you trying them on in the first place?" All the comments on the web about this focus on whether she was really hurt, the woman's size (evidently she's not in perfect shape, but who cares? Neither are the majority of women out there myself included), how the metal thingy could fling up and hit her from the angle the panties should have been when she tried them on...yada yada yada. Who gives a rip (again, pardon the pun! lol!), all I care about is, why were those panties being tried on?
For those who say, "what about a swimsuit?" -- usually they provide those protective coverings in the bathing suit bottoms, but I never trust those and always put something in there to try them on or most times I just leave my underwear on. I know that might be TMI for some, but I'm just sayin'...
WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THIS LADY DOING TRYING THIS ON AT THE STORE? MR. OR MS. PROSECUTOR, PLEASE ASK HER! And I'm sure I can get a bunch of friends to come testify on the stand that right thinking women do not try panties on before we buy them.
Somebody needs to testify on behalf of right thinking women 
because if not...the price of our panties at VS are about to go WAY UP! First gas prices, now panties. What's the world coming to?

Okay, I am SO only going to buy the kind in the packs at Target from now on...at least I know that no one else has been trying them on...
Yeah. I think the store should counter-sue!

One night I did a stand up comedy act for the women of my church on a retreat (they had asked me to in response to some messages I had preached that they thought contained some great humor and said, 'you should put all this together in an act...') well, I did for our ladies retreat and at the time my hair was still brunette...I called night, "illegal brunette" (as opposed to legally blonde) and branded it, as "having so much fun, we should be arrested, with the wildest pastor's wife on the planet, on the loose..." ha ha! Anyway........as part of my "comedy act" at this women's retreat I did a little spoof about thongs and was surprised when a lot of women in the audience clapped wildly that they love wearing them and find them comfy.
Please keep in mind, this was ALL WOMEN at this retreat. :-)
Up til the time of that retreat I do have to tell you I had never worn such, and my comedy act was about the fact that I thought the comfort would be less than the best...well, imagine my shock the next week when several ladies bought me some new undies as a gift that they just swore by the
comfort factor as being the most amazing ever. I do have to say, it gave me something to think about and some new options. LOL
Yesterday I took off from work and was watching the Today Show Noon program. One of the host are Kathy Lee Gifford, previously from Regis. She mentioned this story about the lady and her underwear.
Kathy said, why did she buy underwear when looking at her, it was apparent she needed a really good bra! Don't know if anyone caught that, but thought I'd pass it on!
