Introducing the new segment: Letter's to Mysti!

Week #1-

Dear Mysti,

I have been crying for two hours now, over just 20 pounds.  I just turned 16 yesterday and I feel so fat.  My schedule got too busy for exercise and I have been inactive and sitting for 6 months.

I know what to do…  I need to reduce calories and start exercising.  But I am terrified of going out and running because it’s something I’ve never done before.  I don’t want to see the passing glances from people walking by or driving by.

I don’t know what to do.  I don’t want to eat anymore.  I’m so weak.

Mysti, please help.

Thanks,

Morgan from Piscataway

What do you do when you hear the car make a noise? You turn the radio up!

No one likes getting the car repaired. It's not just the cost, but the whole process. The mechanics and service advisors often speak in words that you don't understand. And while many in the auto service industry have a desire to teach and show compassion, all the mind hears or sees are dollar signs.

But what if there's a spiritual application here? Is it possible that we're communicating the greatest love the world has ever seen, Jesus, in a similar way? As we speak to those in our lives, are we relating the story of the Gospel in a way that's easily understood or are we speaking alternators and calipers?

Listen in as Rick and Mysti share car horror stories, miracle moments behind the wheel, and what we can learn from auto repairs that could help someone grow in their faith.

An 11-year-old Iowa boy with terminal cancer has requested racing stickers so they can be affixed to his casket at his funeral. "We’re just trying to do as much as we can with him while he’s here," Caleb Hammond's uncle, Chris Playle, told the Des Moines Register. Donations have been pouring in from other racers, the Associated Press reports. Hammond also had the thrill of a lifetime over the weekend, when he drove a stock racecar during a Saturday race set up just for him, and took first place. "A goal of his was to be able to drive a race car when he got older," John Hammond, Caleb's dad, told the Oskaloosa Herald. "It's like a dream come true."

On September 6, 1972, Sharyn Rubin and Eric Schlesinger found love in an elevator--literally. That was where the pair, then students at Philadelphia's Temple University, first caught each other's eyes in a campus elevator. A few days later, Rubin greeted Schlesinger at a '50s-themed mixer by saying, "Hi, Mr. Elevator Man," and they eventually got married. But after 42 years of wedded bliss, Sharyn died last year after a long battle with colon cancer.

A plaque commemorating the couple's meeting now hangs inside the elevator where they met, and on Friday--the day before what would have been Sharyn's birthday--a formal ceremony will be held to highlight the plaque--and their commitment to one another.

One mischievous Utah 6-year-old was apparently allowed by her mother to hop on Amazon and order a Barbie doll but Caitlin had something else up her sleeve. Imagine her mother’s surprise when Amazon pulled up and delivered BOX after BOX after BOX of toys - a tower of boxes as tall as Caitlin.

She had secretly ordered $350 worth of toys, videos and board games on her mom's Amazon account. She was even clever enough to opt for next-day shipping.

The current assumption is that when people spend more time on apps like Facebook and Snapchat, the quality of their in-person social interactions decrease. Not true! A surprising study involving short and long-term experiments found that frequent social media use actually had no significant negative effect on face-to-face time and interaction.

Researchers from the University of Missouri found that change in social media use had no effect one way or the other on face-to-face social interaction. In fact, they found that social media use was positively connected to one’s well-being.
