Yesterday we were featured on James Robison's Life Today Television show. We were honored to be asked to be on the show and certainly had a fun time with James and Betty. These two are the "real deal". They are authentic and made Laura and me feel like long lost friends.
Publicists talk about how a show can give you a "Bump"...what ever that means, and boy did we feel it! Our web site traffic was up over 700% and we moved to the #7 ranked Christian marriage book on Amazon!
Thanks to all of you who have emailed and wished us well, it means a lot to us!
Blessings!

If Momma ain't happy...
Like most people, I spent yesterday focusing on Mothers! We here in the Laffoon house spent the week thinking about and preparing for Mother's Day.
What were the kids going to get Mom? Gracie made some nice crafts in school and the teenager of course simply "graced" mom with his presence.
What were Laura and I going to get our moms? I got my mom a potted plant and Laura sent her mom a DVD.
And finally...What was I going to get the Mother of my Children? a cute little digital camera (which I was informed was DESPARATELY NEEDED before the teenager went to Prom!)
I further thought of Mothers as church lingered on until 12:30 and countless families got up and left, no doubt with restaurant reservations...
We had a wonderful meal and Laura got to take a 2 hour nap...it was a PERFECT Mothers Day...
Just one other thought...Everyone, and by this I mean EVERYONE will agree with the age old saying..."If momma ain't happy ain't NOBODY happy!" So if that's true, then isn't EVERYDAY Mothers Day?
Your thoughts?

A " Laura Moment "!
On February 18, I wrote a blog sharing with you a time that I kept calling my home phone with my cell phone! You all who read this blog on a regular basis will remember and those who do not, can go back a read it!
Anyway, I have had several women come up to me and tell me that they have done the same thing. Of course that has made me feel better, I think! Only most of these women have only had the phone ring once before they caught on, as opposed to my four! They were a bit quicker!
Well I have a kindred spirit! GERENE! My friend,Gerene, came up to me this weekend at our conferences and said," I had a 'Laura Moment'! She proceeded to tell me that she had called herself on her phone and it took three times to figure it out! I love Gerene! She is "my people"!
I especially am honored that she has coined the phrase a "Laura Moment". Please share with me your "Laura Moments"! I would be honored...and if no one does,I will know Gerene and I are all there is to "my people".

Heading for Mackinac!
This time of year is always bittersweet as we leave tomorrow morning for our first set of conferences at Grand Hotel.

Bitter because we have to leave the kids again! Please pray for Torrey and Grace (And Gradma and Papa) as we are away, it would mean the world to us!
Blessings~
