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.

This makes the long car trip more bearable especially with such a full car. :-) All in all everyone is doing really well and they are watching a lot of movies on the trip while I read and write whole lot. I love vacation because I read and write purely for enjoyment, without assignment or deadline. So far I've read about six or seven books of the Bible, Glenn Beck's "Common Sense", Dan Millers, "48 Days to the Work You Love", and a book about Princess Diana called, "A Royal Duty". Oh yes, I must also include a magazine Emmy brought along about Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. Just couldn't resist reading that...
I realized in looking back through the last few days of posts that I didn't include the picture of Savanna and I at the hospital she was born at, or our old house in Maryland. So here we go... and, I will post more later wherever we stop and see the sights before we get home.
