Yesterday it was 61 degrees outside and such a nice fall day. Today it's 38 and snowing. Hmmm. Nothing like a change in scenery!

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my shoutlife page. If you get a chance, stop by Twitter at www.twitter.com/pennyzeller or my blog at www.pennyzeller.wordpress.com.
I am a wife to my wonderful husband, Lon (of 17 years, wow!!! - yes, we got married really young!), mother of two elementary-aged daughters, and a Christian author/speaker.
I have written three books to date, with the two more to be released in the near future. The first, tentatively titled "McKenzie" will be released by Whitaker House in September 2010 and is the first in a three-part series of historical Christian romance novels. The second is to be released by Beacon Hill Press and is tentatively titled "Help Me, I'm Drowning: A Life Preserver for Moms." The title says it all! I am also the author of numerous articles in national and regional publications.
I was bitten with the writing bug at age seven when I began writing Bible stories in my own words. I also wrote fiction stories about a dog named Muffie and her adventures, as well as other short stories neatly composed in homemade wallpaper-covered cardboard books.
I am excited to be breaking into writing women's fiction. I owe all my inspiration to the Lord - He truly is amazing!
My passion is to is to use the gift of writing the Lord has blessed me with to further His Kingdom.
Come follow me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pennyzeller or check out my blog at www.pennyzeller/wordpress.com. I'm also on Facebook.

It was a hectic evening made even more hectic when Lon was called back to work. "Don't worry," I assured him. "I can grill the pork chops."
Looking at me warily, Lon agreed. "Don't forget to keep an eye on them so they don't burn," he told me. Lon...

I know that the Lord blessed each of us with gifts and talents. I also know that when those gifts and talents were being handed out, there was one that I didn't get?the gift of being a hairstylist.
Case in point:

Adventures of the Tooth Fairy

I never realized what an interesting adventure it would be when I took on my new identity as the Tooth Fairy. You would think that since I've been exercising my role as the Tooth Fairy for almost 5 years now, I would be a professional at it. Not so. ...

Hi there Penny,
I am very glad you figured it out. It's a blessing that I also figured it out myself. hahaha. In other words, I was NOT looking when God brought Her my way. and like all men, I was slow to figure it out. In fact, I believe Tammy knew probably a little before I did. Held captive by her love that ruined me in THE BEST way any man can get ruined! :D
God bless,
John

Hi Penny,
Stopping by to say 'Thanks' for the visit and the blessings. It is good hearing from you. I am doing ok, but starting to get busier at work. I suppose it will be this way until after Thanksgiving. I hope that you and your family are doing well. I am praying that your week will be filled with God's glorious blessings.
God's blessings always,
Ray

Hi Penny,
It doesn't matter whether you're Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Conservative, or Liturgical you need to be aware of what God is doing in these days through the Messianic movement. The more we understand the roots of our faith in Judaism, the more we can understand what God wants us to know to make that faith grow.
It doesn't matter whether you like rock, country, contemporary, gospel, or hip hop, you need to grow in your musical tastes, and sample the rich tapestry of Messianic Jewish music that is available today. To that end, I would like to introduce you to two amazing Messianic artists, whose musical style is very unique, and totally wonderful.
Deborah Kline-Iantorno's music springs from her Jewish and Puerto Rican roots, and her years as a night club singer. Her songs are exciting, her voice is gorgeous, and the message she brings is right on.
Straight from Jerusalem, Israel, the songs of Rivka Whitten are alive and fresh. Her music is a unique mix of Yemenite Israeli vocals along with rhythms from around the world, and a gifted group of instrumentalists.
Please come on by, and check out a couple of amazing songs that I have put on my page, then you can go to www.newfaithfavorites.com and listen to all of them.
Thanks,
Jim

Nothing new on the book. The editor is so busy, she said she probably won't read it until the first of the year.
Thank you for the prayers. Goodness, we keep hoping and praying that house will sell.
Other than that, we are doing well!
