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...

Whazzzzup?

  • Life has been crazily busy the past few months (no one really has a clue...I'm not whining, just speaking truth)  In keeping with that, we got up at 5:30 am yesterday to take the boys to bible school (DSOM) in Ocala.  Dustin's car is out of commission right now.  The school is an hour and a half away.  Being that the boys have class until 4 or 5 pm, Larry and I stayed the day when taking them.  We also ate at a little hole in the wall hot dog joint that Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive Ins and Dive's visited on the food network. It was awesome.
  • Dustin and Jordan both passed their class yesterday in bible school!
  • Did more weeding and trimming in my yard this weekend...and I'm sore.  I am trying to get the yard up to standard (expected in our neighborhood) in the next few weeks.  I haven't had time to keep up the past few months and it's been so hot it's really gone downhill.  I have a lot of catching up to do but it'll get there.  One day at a time.
  • Bright spot:  got an oregano plant and a culantro (cuban form of cilantro, or so I'm told) plant.  So excited!  Can't wait to cook with them.  Haven't had much time for serious cooking lately but am believing that will come again...
  • Prepping for an amazing day at Celebration Church. 
  • Starting Christmas music at choir rehearsal today.  I just made a huge pot of chicken and dumplings for choir lunch.  Our luncheons are amazing and the love of the choir family even more so.
  • Believing for a miracle.  Am not sharing details at this moment but just ask all regular readers who care to pray with me today.  Thank you!
Much love...

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...

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...
