After getting out of the dairy business and the car business, he became an industrial developer and real estate broker in the Mid dlefield area. The area around the intersec tion of state routes 608 and 528 is still called “Boorn’s Corners” by some old timers. He moved to Florida in his retirement.

BIG ELM DAIRY was one of three dairy’s that called Middlefield home in the 1930s and 40s. The other two were Middlefield Dairy and Glen Valley Farms Dairy. Regula

tions in the dairy industry were not what they are today and many communities in Geauga County had their own local dairies.

Faith Matters The Battle of the Mind

Did you know your thoughts determine you outlook, actions and even your happi ness? Yes, you and I must pay closer atten tion to what we are thinking.

In the book of Proverbs we are told that, “As a person thinks in his heart, so he is.” In other words, your thoughts shape your life. If negative thoughts flood your mind, you will follow their lead. You will become a negative person. If you believe that bad cir cumstances are a “show stopper” for achieving your goals, you will probably give up and never fulfill your desired end. If you regard yourself with low self-esteem, you are more likely to doubt yourself and lack con fidence to take on a new challenge.

greatly. Gradually, they bought into his lies and deception. Eventually, they took action, disobeying the Creator’s instructions. The results were catastrophic.

By Roger Kruse

Sometimes our thoughts seem to come randomly out of nowhere. We suddenly find ourselves thinking something unexpected, inappropriate or even bad. We struggle to get it out our mind, but if it is reoccurring, we be gin to buy into it. Maybe a parent or someone else said something to us that hurt us. The thought lingers and makes itself at home in our mind.

Before Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, they were in complete harmony with God. They enjoyed fellowship, joy and peace. However, Satan, disguised as a serpent, came close and sug gested what God told them was not true. In fact, he inferred God was withholding some thing they needed and would benefit them

It would be wise for us to sift through our thoughts, and consider their origin. For ex ample, when Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, the devil came and suggested what He should do. Jesus rejected those ideas, know ing they came from Satan and not His heavenly Father. He did not allow His thoughts to entertain an idea that was contrary to God’s will for Him. The Apostle Paul af firmed the same thing. He tells us as Christ-followers we must “take our thoughts captive to obey Christ.” In other words, we are to reject certain thoughts that will end up steering us away from what Jesus would want for us.

Sometimes I struggle with worry. It can become a habitual way of thinking. The wor ries I allow to dominate my mind end up causing me anxiety and stress. Yet, the Bible tells me, “Don’t worry about anything, in stead, pray about everything.” That thought is repeated in Philippians 4. God’s Word ex horts us to “Have no anxiety about anything,” but instead, “with prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” We are promised that if we do so, we will ben efit from “the peace of God that transcends all understanding and will stand guard over

Coffee Break with Sue

By SuSan yodeR Middlefield townShip

A friendly greeting to all who read these lines.

Trees are just beautiful at this writing. Let’s just enjoy and not think of all the blow ing and raking ahead. We still haven’t had a killing frost yet here.

Tuesday was the funeral of 89-year-old (Jake) Sarah Yoder. She had been bedfast the last few years and I’m sure she’ll be greatly missed. Our sympathy to the family.

Dad and Mom (Crist and Barbara) re cently visited at Mom’s cousin Jake A. Byler along with their visiting group. They had a nice evening. Jake’s daughter Betty and Mel vin Gingerich also joined them awhile. They live there with Jake.

We recently spent a day at recently wid owed (Daniel) Betty Burkholder, along with more of the family. I think Betty has long days if anyone wants to send her cheer:

our mind and heart.” Sounds like a good trade off to me!

Take some time to analyze your thinking. Consider the thoughts that regularly hang around in your mind. Are you providing fuel for something you don’t want? Are they leading you to an outcome that is bringing you down? How much better to supplant those thoughts with something which is right and true from the Bible. You can utilize prayer, trusting the Lord for His help to think the right thoughts.

Victory in this area is possible. Howev er, we must persevere, taking seriously the battle going on in our minds. Let’s move for ward by faith, asking God to help us renew our minds. We can defeat the enemy by trust ing the promise of God, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Roger Kruse is learning to reject worry and anxiety by trusting what God tells us is true. His promises will not fail!

17228 Mayfield Road, Windsor, OH 44099.

Cousin Aden’s crew are over siding Dad and Mom’s addition on the shop. We are wait ing on the drywall taping to be done, then hopefully we’re ready to paint, and maybe it’ll be ready to move into soon.

Daughter Rebecca and Jonathan Hersh berger are in the process of buying Dad’s place. We are looking forward to having them close by. Michael and Rose Detweiler are pur chasing Jn’s place on Jug Road.

The community men 900-plus recently an swered the call and gathered at the Nelson Yo der home over on Route 700 to lift a building and move it aways (100-plus feet). Not sure on the size of the building, maybe 40 feet by 60 feet, or close. Many hands make light work!

Daughter Regina and Steven Gingerich got some chicks this spring and were anx iously awaiting fresh eggs which it was high time. Grandma Gingerich told them to hang a hatchet out in the coop, which they did. With in hours they had an egg! Smile! It makes a believer out of the youngsters.

‘Til next time, be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Ramblings from Windsor

By Ruth ByleR

Oct. 5, Wednesday. Gorgeous day! The ones of us that were at the auction yesterday had to drag ourselves out of bed — or maybe mom dragged us out. Don’t ask. We didn’t get home until around 2:30 this morning. Wayne is kind of sick.

The scholars spent the afternoon playing with Pioneer Country School pupils. In eve, Mom and us girls, grandma, Aunt Dorothy and girls went to Marty and Sara’s to clean shop, etc. Ches Dorothy passed away today (former owner of the fabric shoppe.)

Oct. 6, Thursday. Happy 19th birthday Ella Fisher! My poor Mom was sick today. Dorothy came home from school and was sick, too. Rachel was working late, so I pre pared to do laundry when I got home from work. I couldn’t start the motor, so Jake came to the rescue, thankfully.

Halfway through laundry, it stopped again. The two of us, we pulled, we huffed, we yanked, we puffed, no luck. Next, Dad tried, nope not working. We were grateful to have Grandma’s washing machine and motor right next door. And I managed to leave the sledge in the shop!

Oct. 7, Friday. Dad, Robert, Jake and Josi ah were the ones laying around today. It’ll be nice to get this germ outta here.

Oct. 8, Saturday. Everybody is back on their feet today, though Dad’s voice doesn’t sound very good. The guys were all up at David Mast this afternoon where he had a horse pull.

Ford Eli was rushed to the hospital this morning; he had an aneurysm close to his heart.

Oct. 9, Sunday. Happy birthday to Rosa Yoder and lil Nathan Fisher. Dad and Rach

were sick and didn’t go to church. John Yoder Sarah passed away this morning.

Oct. 10, Monday. Dad and Rach still not feeling good. Bill Reiter biked out to visit from Middlefield this afternoon. Laura Filips was at Grandma and the girls tonight so we went over a bit to say hi. Good seeing her. Grandma’s cousin Wayne and wife from Indi ana are spending the night at her place.

Oct. 11, Tuesday. Ford Eli is back home and doing better. Reuben and Barbara Miller are welcoming baby Rose Edna. Grands are David and Saloma Mast, and Unes Dan’s Johns.

Oct. 12, Wednesday. To Mark’s in eve. Ca leb and I decided to play a trick on Hannah when she got home from school; we knew she wanted to see me and pretended I wasn’t there anymore. Her expression once she fig ured out where I was was priceless!

Oct. 13, Thursday. Chester Slaubaughs and Miriam Yoders wedding. Mom and Dad there all day. In eve us so-called cousins were together. The eve was not long enough.

Oct. 14, Friday. Levi Laura (KY) was at Grandma for bed and breakfast.

Oct. 15, Saturday. The guys from this house were all to Topeka, Ind., for a horse auc tion. Left at 3 a.m. and were home by 7 p.m.

Mom and the girlies wanted me to move a table from the porch to the living room, and they acted as if it had to be done right then. I knew we wanted to move it, but I didn’t know why it had to be done right now.

I understood afterwards. There on the bureau was a huge bouquet flowers and they couldn’t wait till I saw it. Thank you.

Till next time, stay healthy and, if you can’t find the sunshine, be the sunshine.
