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

If you are a person who prays, please read this!


I really don't know where I'd be without the power of prayer and fasting.  I also don't know where I'd be without people in my life who are actively doing the same on behalf of me, and others.  History belongs to those who pray!!

Right now I'm praying for a lot of people in very serious situations that need a miracle or else.  My heart is very heavy for a few people who have contacted me this week.  One of them that is on my heart most are Pastor Mike and Judy Cayson from right here in Tampa.  They pastor at The Connection AG.  Last evening their daughter Bethany went into cardiac arrest and is in a medically induced coma right now.  We have activated our prayer team at Celebration on behalf of Bethany and her parents and I am asking everybody who reads my blog to pray.  We need to stand in the gap for these folks and not stop til' the breakthrough comes.  I ask you to put them on your prayer list whether you know them or not.  Thank you so much!!

So many people have contacted me with heavy needs this week, but at the same time I'm feeling a bit heavy myself and not just the fact that I need to lose some weight.  (LOL)  Being as transparent as I can be, there are some big personal prayer needs in my own life where I need a divine intervention from God.  At the same time I'm believing for others, I'm needing others to believe for me.

I wish I would have gotten this up on the blog this morning but it's been a busy day with so many things going on.  I believe just the right people who know how to reach the throne of God.

The circumstances are great, but we serve a God who is greater!!  Right now my focus is in looking to how big my God is and not how big the issues seem.  Join me in faith believing.  Love you all...

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
