In the early part of the 1900s, when downtown Middlefield still hard dirt streets, everyone in town looked forward to DICKER DAYS. The town fathers would build livestock pens right in the street and farmers would bring their animals to town to sell, along with anything else they might want to get rid of. I’m sure it must have been a forerunner to the Monday sale still going on today on Nau voo

The result was astonishing. In fact, what happened was a miracle straight from the hand of God. A multitude of fish was tearing the nets and the two boats were so packed with fish, they were ready to sink. Peter knew immediately that he was in the presence of the holy Son of God. His sin and unworthi ness stuck out like a sore thumb. But Jesus put out the welcome mat and Peter left his nets to follow Him.

However, there was a learning curve with everything Dad taught us. That meant there were often tangles of all sorts as well as stub born snags that wouldn’t let go. I sometimes wonder how he had time to fish himself, with all the interruptions and requests for help from his five impatient boys. We have so many good memories of happy days shared along a shoreline or in a boat.
When I was growing up, my Dad often took my brothers and me fishing. He taught us how to cast a reel, use a bobber and wait patiently for a good bite.
I am thinking about Jesus’ disciple named Peter. After all, he and his brother were fishermen. On one occasion, they had fished all night without success. Their nets were empty and all their hard efforts were in vain.Suddenly, Jesus showed up and asked to use Peter’s fishing boat as a place to teach the crowd of people gathered around Him. When He finished, He told Peter to take the boat out into the deep waters and put down his nets. Peter protested, remembering the failure of the night. But because Jesus told him to do it, he did so.
Roger Kruse has learned that Jesus is al ways ready and able to help. We only need to ask.
As a grown man and a decent fisherman, I can still get tangles with my fishing line and lures. It’s inevitable as you work the edges of a lake where waiting bushes, trees, and algae lurk. Frustration can take over when you have to take time to untangle a mess of line wrapped around a branch or even the rod itself. However, once you finally hook a nice fish, all the trials and tribulations are forgot ten.Life, can be like a day of fishing. There is the joy of being with family and the sat isfaction of goals accomplished together. Nevertheless, there can also be the tensions of sibling squabbles, and the frustration of unwanted trials and messy circumstances. I remember falling into a lake off the dock that we were fishing on. Naturally, it was Dad to the rescue. Sometimes we need rescuing in life,Learningtoo. to be patient and discovering life skills and wisdom along the way is para mount.

Of course, we learned to put a wiggly worm or squirmy minnow on a sharp hook.
Every tangle in your life is best brought to Jesus. His wisdom, power, and love are ex actly what you need. Your failures are meant to be stepping stones to a discovery of His grace. The One who died for you also lives to show you the miracles that He alone can do.
Huntsburg Township: Oct. 2, 7 p.m., Board of Trustees. All meetings held at the Town Hall, 16534 Mayfield Road.
Getting the hook out of a fish’s mouth without getting stuck by a sharp fin can also be a challenge. When it came time to clean the fish we caught, we all pitched in. It was quite a sight.
Life can get messy.
from our daily experiences, perhaps we need to revamp our approach. Lingering frustra tion and anger are a dead end street. Nobody wins when we leave a tangled mess dangling. Humility, forgiveness and patience with one another ensure that our relationships stay healthy and bring us joy.

During the commission meeting, village Mayor Ben Garlich said he was opposed to having three curb cuts because it could cre ate a lot of confusion on Tare Creek Parkway so close to the intersection with Kinsman Road.“We’ve been limiting curb cuts (on Tare Creek) for 20 years,” said commission Chair man Scott Klein, adding allowing a special curb cut for someone who goes to his lake once a day doesn’t make sense.

We should always keep in mind that there is no “magic cure” for any health condition, whether that condition is a chronic pain prob lem or any other. Physical therapy, however, remains to be one of the best forms of non-invasive treatment for pain relief.

You’ve heard about physical therapy, but have you ever consid ered it for yourself? You may be surprised to find out that physical therapy is one of the most effective and proven ways to treat inju ries and prevent future ones. Here are five surprising benefits of physical therapy:
Physical therapy is less expen sive than other types of care, saving you money in the long run because it prevents future injuries and conditions from occurring. And if a condition does develop, your physical therapist will work with you to make sure that you are provided with appropriate treatment and recovery options.
And finally, physical therapy treatments can decrease your risk of further injury and reduce your chances of re-injury by helping you develop strength and mobility that sup port the injured area.

mobility and decrease pain. This combination may be more effective than using just one ap proach on its own.

Ty, our son, gets checked weekly to make sure his growing spine and body are working at its best.
WHAT SETS ME APART ... in the chiropractic field is my use of the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique (AMCT); a treatment system that utilizes a small hand-held instrument that applies a quick, low-force, gentle chiropractic treatment directly to the source of your pain to alleviate nerve pressure to allow the body to heal itself.
how life is. Now people come to see me with their low back and sciatic problems. They also come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder /arm pain, numbness in limbs, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, sports injuries, just to name a few.
My wife, Sharon, suffered for years with migraine headaches. She took ibuprofen everyday. We found her migraines were from misaligned vertebrae in her neck, we adjusted them, now she rarely has migraines.
I know what it’s like to live with constant pain. As a sophomore on the University of New Hampshire football team, I developed sciatica; an excruciating condition that caused sharp pain in my leg and lower back. I was unable to play football anymore and the pain was so bad that at times it was difficult for me to even walk or concentrate. I was told surgery was the only option to alleviate the condition, but even after undergoing surgery, the pain persisted.Onthe
MY OTHER CONFESSION IS … I help people live their lives as they are intended to live. What I do is perform a gentle spinal treatment to alleviate nerve pressure without any ‘twisting’ or ‘popping’, and the body responds by healing itself. It’s as simple as that! I have helped thousands of people with a variety of health problems.It’sstrange

“I experienced back pain and hand numbness for 3-4 years. A friend recommended Dr. Roediger, and I was quickly able to get in for my exam. After my first adjustment, my back was already feeling a lot better. My wife even noticed more “pep in my step”. If I ever have any questions about anything, Dr. Roediger and staff are very informative.”
advice of a friend, I decided to see a chiropractor. After the initial examination, the chiropractor was able to determine that I had several bones out of alignment in my spine, and that they were putting pressure on the nerves in my back. The situation was serious, but after a few treatments I noticed the pain had decreased and I felt better overall. Over time the chiropractic treatments allowed my body to heal itself naturally!
– Janet K.
Here’s what some of my patients had to say: “I was experiencing back pain for over 5 years. Physical therapy was not helping me. I called Roediger Chiropractic and got in right away. After a couple of adjustments, I noticed I was feeling and looking better. I was able to start gardening again which helped me lose weight.”
– Dylan V.
MY CONFESSION IS… I want to help ease the burden of today’s health care system that is overburdened.
