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...

"I love my hubby" meme


I was tagged by my bff Tara to do this meme.


Here are the rules: grab the graphic and insert with these rules, in your post. Give at least 5 reasons why you love your hubby. List more if you want. Tag 5 people (or more) to play along and link to their blogs in your post.Then visit those women’s blogs and leave them a comment on any of their posts. Now that I have shared the rules, it’s my time to share my reasons:

1) He is a man who loves God.

2) He loves me.

3) He's a partner with me and is comfortable with me walking beside him, not behind him.

4) He loves our children.

5) He's a good provider.

6) He always remembers special occasions such as my birthday, Valentine's Day, our anniversary, etc. He has NEVER in 22 years EVER forgotten one.

7) He is my defender, always.

8) He's very sentimental.

9) He keeps my dreams and goals "as important as his very own" (as he said he would in his marriage vows to me -- that he wrote.)

and last but not least...

10) He's more yummy to me today than ever...he's the jelly on my biscuit! :-) Crazy about that man, especially in a black suit. He can hardly get out of the house when he wears one...

I know that was ten, not five, but I'm giving my man double kudos!

Ummmm...I think I'll tag: Leanne, Melissa, Cathy, Erika, and Debbie.

Wow! Thought there would be more comments. I don't know computers well enough to follow your directions. But here's my 2cents:

1) My husband was radically saved from Christian TV and we grew in the Lord together from the start!
I was on a university calendar at age 19 and he wasn't after my body, so I married him :)

2) He's always loved me for my mind not the crack of my behind :)
Seriously, he loves me for my heart. As newly weds, he told me he's a "heart man" when I asked: Are you a leg man or boob man?

3) He's a great father!!!!!

4) He's very humble, meek, and patient but has authority.

5) He is very handsome and takes great care of his health!

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...
