We celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday with some comfort food in the park last night! A new study shows that we're more likely to splurge on food when we're happy than when we're going through turmoil. Is that true of you? ~Cat, "Scott & Cat in the Afternoon"

My neighbor kept saying to him in that voice that people talk to their dogs in "it's okay, this is your neighbor." I was trying not to laugh because I really don't think he understood the word neighbor as he continued to lunge his little body toward me. Wondering if you have a great "how I met my neighbors" story?" --Melody, Evenings

The science of cookies. When I was a kid I was allowed to have 4 at a time, our daughter 2...you? ~Jeremy "Mornings with the Traceys"

Hey, guys! I don't know about you, but lately it seems like it's been one thing after another in our house. However, I know we're not alone. So many people are struggling in ways I can't even imagine! If you're going through a series of hurdles, I wanted to share some words from the Bible that really encouraged {and CHALLENGED} me today. Love, Jill ~ Mornings with the Traceys

"Be encouraged today - God hears your prayers. And, if we can pray for you, please let us know." --Melody, Evenings As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength. ~ Psalm 138:8

I have often thought that if someone is struggling with knowing God, a Creator that "created one's inmost being," that they only need witness the birth of a child. The intricacies of this process are so far beyond happenstance, that it is inconceivable to even consider coincidence. For those who favor logic over faith, please tell me "logically" how what took place in my daughter's life last week could have originated from or been orchestrated by anything other than the Master of the Universe. I am thankful that He is real, a real part of our lives, and in control. Psalm 139:13 - Scott from "Scott & Cat in the Afternoon."

Good luck! :)

My daughter Hope turns 16 in less than 2 weeks! Any fun suggestions to help her celebrate? ~Janine, Mid days

"So I have a confession to make - I've been stressing out a bit about these little smile wrinkles that are showing up around my eyes. And, then I read this today from Proverbs: 'Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.' Thought I'd share it with you in case you also needed to be reminded tonight. Oh, and if you know of a good eye cream, I would appreciate the recommendation." --Melody, Evenings
