Reporter's note: I was invited to a meeting of a group of Girl Scout Daisies (kindergarten and first graders) who were learning about respecting authority. Our daughter was a Brownie, about 35 years ago, but a lot of what I remembered about Girl Scouts and their organization has changed. For example, there's no longer just "a Girl Scout." There are Girl Scout Daisies, Girl Scout Brownies...all the way up to Girl Scout Ambassadors. Girl Scouting has a whole new system of describing their members...

I am always finding a lobster on sale and sticking it in the freezer. That way when I want to I can have what I call a triple surf dinner. It is a hot lobster with drawn butter, lobster salad and a shrimp cocktail with homemade cocktail sauce. Please note that when I say lobster I mean lobster tail. It is very easy to steam a lobster. Get it thawed out and steam it a minute for each ounce it weighs. Take the shell off when the lobster is steamed and serve with a vat of good hot butter. For a salad, it is just as easy. Thaw the lobster; take...

Q: I know you’ve said that God sometimes answers our prayers with a “no”—but if that’s the case, then why bother to pray? A: Yes, it’s true that God sometimes says “no” to our prayers—and with good reason, because He alone knows what is best for us.

But sometimes God also says “yes” to our prayers—and that’s certainly one reason why we ought to keep on praying! But we don’t pray only to get things from God. Not only would...
