Zane, Ivana and Nana's Camera





The other day, Zane and Ivana were at our home. I saw Zane (and his sister) walking around with a camera - which happened to be my camera. This is what I discovered. I have no clue how he took this last picture.

I've Got A Freebie for You!

Gossip is such a killer. As a pastor's wife, I know first hand how it can destroy a church. And, us, women are just the worst. It's interesting that we're the ones (in Titus 2) that are told to NOT gossip...not our men.

Anyway, I did a teaching a few years ago and I'd life to offer it as a gift to anyone who would like to know how to stop gossip. It will help you with it in your own life and what to say when another woman is beginning to gossip.

We survived a remodel



Only a few friends dared "visit" during the days/months of our remodel this past January. I thought it'd be fun to see the changes on our homefront and hopefully it might be encouraging to anyone in the midst...that...eventually...it will all end.

Eating Healthy - Menu Planning

I've planned weekly menus off and on for years. I think it's one of THE best way to save money on the home front AND it's THE way to provide nutritionally for our families.

I've created my own menu planners with personal recipes and I've looked at others. I just ran across two online menu planners that seem really good. If you're in a cooking/planning rut, check these out.

This next one looks great too -

I'd love to know what you think about these homefront helps.

Sunday Special - Free E-BOOK

I write handbooks for women, and the first one I ever wrote was a little book of prayers for wives. Since 1999, Power Prayers for Your Mighty Man has been sold and distributed into about 7000 different hands - all over the world. That makes me smile.

Since, I was blessed to be a blessing - I decided to bless, and give - as a gift - my new, updated version of PPMM. It's now in an e-BOOK. Email me at LylahL@aol.com and let me know you'd like a copy...simply put PPMM in the subject line. I'll send you a copy. When you receive it, I'd suggest that you actually print the whole book and put it into a 3-ring binder.

I'm going to make this gift available till next Saturday, the 28th. So, if you have a girlfriend that you think could really take advantage of this offer - have HER email ME. Please don't forward the e-BOOK (it's copyrighted :-) ).
