The photos here and those inserted in the “Celebrate Community and Business” section inside this
edition are a snapshot of Middlefield businessmen, both in 1900 and in 1932. You can see in both
years, Middlefield had a variety of different businesses. There are a few from the 1932 pictures still
in business today under the same name but different owners.
Back during these years, people did not have the ability to just run to the mall and shop, they
all shopped locally and reserved out of town trips for special occasions. In 1900, the only way
to travel out of town was by horse and buggy on a dirt road, because the first car didn’t appear
until around 1906 and was owned by Joe Johnson, the founder of the Ohio Pail Company, later
becoming the Johnson Rubber Company.

I was a spectator at
the Aurora, Fourth
of July parade. My
daughter recently
moved there and my
granddaughter was
a participant in the
parade. I observed
the excitement of the children watching the
parade and saw them react to each piece of
candy they were able to grab as if it were
an ounce of gold. I spoke to adults who
have lived in the area about how much this
parade, and the festivities that followed,
had become their family tradition, and they
attend every year. I saw grandparents with
their children and grandchildren enjoying
the event as a family. Many were taking
pictures as you would on a family vacation.
It was a great time to visit with friends you
don’t see frequently. I felt their sense of
community which I certainly admired.
I hope the residents of Middlefield and
the surrounding area view the Summer
Fest in the same regard. It is a great time to
come together as a community and enjoy
the day. This event is scheduled for July 26
and I know firsthand how hard the M.A.C.
(Middlefield Activities Committee) works
to make this day a success. The parade
starts at 1 p.m. and many quality events
are scheduled for the remainder of the day
which will end with fireworks. Come and
enjoy good food, good friends and have a
pleasurable day.
The Grand Marshals this year are
Officer Erin Thomas and Sergeant Brandon
Savage whom are both very deserving of
this recognition. Hope to see you there.
Leslie Gambosi, economic
development director, has hit the ground
running. She is acclimated to Middlefield
and is beginning a very proactive approach
to building the economic base of this
Village.
Construction has begun on the new
facility next to Russell’s Funeral Home. I
expect Chem Tech to be moving dirt within
a few weeks, and the planning commission
has been in conversation with Briar Hill
Health Care about a sizeable expansion.
We’ve seen two empty retail spaces filled
this last month which is encouraging. This
fall, we will be formulating a cooperative
effort with the schools to begin an
apprenticeship program to support the
skilled trade requirements of local industry.
Potentially, this effort, when executed
correctly, will benefit student, school and
business.
I encourage you to be informed,
be involved, shop local and visit www.

class in preparation for their two tournaments. The class, which will be held on July 15, will

competitive game for experienced players. According to the The USA Pickleball Association
(USAPA) there is an estimated 100,000 plus players that are currently active participants
in national pickleball tournaments and countless more in local community tournaments.
The Middlefield Recreation Department will host two tournaments this summer, the first
on Saturday, July 19 and the second on Saturday, Aug 2. Both tournaments will take place

From Field to Plate Field Trip
By Ryan Ivans
On the 2014 From Field to Plate 4-H field trip, 4-H’ers and advisors had fun while learning
a lot. This year’s trip was based on horticulture. Our first stop was at Geauga County Extension
Office at the Burton Fairgrounds where Auctioneer Mike Davis talked to us about how the
Geauga Produce Growers got started and about how they are giving back to the county and
helping out smaller farms so they can sell their produce. Our next stop was at Rid-All Green
in Cleveland where we talked about aquaponics and how the making of mulch takes place.
After that we stopped at Refuge Empowerment Gardens where we learned how they help
refugees learn how to work as a team, how to live in American Society and help them learn
the job interviewing process. Then we stopped at Cleveland Botanical Garden’s Green Corp
Garden program where we learned a lot about making use of small-scale farming. Lastly we
stopped at Craig Sirna’s Produce farm in Auburn Township where we learned a different way
of using hydroponics and large-scale produce farming. The group had fun and ended the
day with an ice cream sandwich.

Sew Sew Sweet
This spring the Sew Sew Sweet sewing club has been busy with many activities. The girls
took a trip to the Fashion Museum at Kent State and got to see many interesting designs.
The group also went to a tea at the Burton Library and got to see a fashion show of fashion
over the ages. The girls also sold Buckeye chocolate bars. During the groups June meeting, a
member brought up her idea for her community project. She is collecting sewing materials
for the kids in Africa who cannot afford all of these materials for clothes. The club would
appreciate if you would donate some fabric, seam rippers, easy patterns, and thread. For
donations, please contact Lisa Briggs at 440-313-2371. The group is excited for the fashion
show in July and is looking forward to the beginning of fair.

Have you finished any books this summer? Visit the Middlefield Library to fill out an
entry form for each book read and deposit them into our “literary elements” box. Each week
two lucky people are drawn from the pool of entries to win a gift card! But do not wait too
long to make your visit, the Adult Summer Reading ends July 25. A huge thank you goes to
the East Geauga Friends of the Library for our supporting programs. Check out the Booksale
Room from noon to 3 p.m. for their latest offerings and deals.
In addition, the Middlefield Library is hosting two informative programs with the
potential to change lives. Before the school year is underway, discuss “How Should a Village
Raise a Child?” on Wednesday, July 23 at 7 p.m. How do you support and encourage your child’s
educational development? Dr. Mary Hricko, Assistant Dean of Kent State Geauga University,
will share her ideas and best practices from her 20 years of experience in education. Uncover
learning opportunities beyond the school doors and within the community. This program is
perfect for parents, teachers, and anyone interested in the future of our children.
The next program can improve your life. Do you or a loved one struggle with anger?
Then you will not want to miss “Controlling Anger Before It Controls You” on Wednesday, Aug.
6 at 7 p.m. We all know what anger is and we have all felt it – whether it is minor irritation
or full-blown rage. Anger is a completely normal and healthy human emotion, but when it
takes control of you and becomes destructive, harmful or hurtful it leads to problems with
family, work, school, and can damage the quality of your life. You can feel at the mercy of
a powerful emotion. Keeping anger in control can be challenging. Deanna Brant, licensed
professional clinical counselor from Ravenwood Mental Health Center will discuss steps to
help control anger. Please call 440-632-1961 or stop by the Middlefield Library, 16167 E. High
St. (44062) to register for these programs. Whether it is improving yourself or the community,
the Middlefield Library has something to offer!

Geauga County Public Library (GCPL) is expanding its genealogical research resources
with the addition of the World Vital Records database. As of July 1, GCPL patrons have access
to more than 4.2 billion names in family history record collections worldwide.
Created in 2006, World Vital Records offers easy-to-navigate collections of yearbooks,
maps, certificates, immigration and military records, census and voter lists and digitized
book collections. Patrons with valid library cards may access this content from a home
computer with an Internet connection or from any GCPL location. “World Vital Records nicely
complements our existing genealogy tools,” says staff genealogist, Cheryl McClellan. “This
collection allows patrons to access U.S. Census records from 1790 to 1940 for the first time at
no charge from the comfort of their own homes.”
The Geauga County Public Library includes four full-service community libraries in
Bainbridge, Chardon, Chesterland (Geauga West) and Middlefield; two library stations
housed in schools in Newbury and Thompson; one Bookmobile that serves farms, nursing
homes and nursery schools; and one administrative center where technical services,
computer services, facilities and administrative functions reside. GCPL has more than 610,000
books and eBooks. The collection also contains more than 100,000 audio/video items and
109 research databases available through its website. GCPL is a member of the SearchOhio/
OhioLINK consortium, giving patrons access to more than 66 million items.

Counting Down
Dr. Scott J.Hunt, superintendent
I may be the only one
counting down the
days to the opening of
school but that’s OK.
I hope that everyone
thus far has been able
to enjoy the beautiful
weather, sunshine,
and summer activities. Like it or not, the
opening of school is on the horizon and our
summer staff is working hard to prepare the
buildings to open in August.
Our maintenance supervisor, Brian
Kelly, has our maintenance and custodial
staff scrubbing down the buildings,
waxing the floors, and making sure that
our classrooms are ready for the return of
teachers and students. We are fortunate that
we are able to hire high school and college
students to assist us with room cleaning,
painting and grounds keeping. In addition,
with the changes in our configuration,
third-grade classrooms and fifth-grade
classrooms have been moved successfully
to their respective locations at CIS and
CMS. Our head mechanic, Roger Winzer is
also hard at work with his staff making sure
that our buses pass inspection so that we
are able to run our fleet safely. Currently,
we are in the process of entering a bus
leasing program for the 2014-2015 school
year. Three new buses will arrive in early
October. Two buses will seat 72 passengers
and one will be for special needs. We were
able to trade in five buses to offset the
cost of the purchase. The leasing program
will allow us to cut the cost of repairs and
maintenance on our buses. We also plan to
add two additional buses in the 2015-2016
school year. Our transportation coordinator,
Diane Baumgartner, is also hard at work
implementing a new bus routing software
program that will allow her to efficiently
route buses for the upcoming school year.
As I have shared, we are re-instituting high
school busing and the ability to have our
routes completed via software will enhance
how we deliver students to and from school.
Thanks to these departments the opening
of school in August should run smoothly.
In the upcoming weeks, I will be
providing updates to our progress and how
that will affect our families as they prepare
for the opening of school. In the mean time,
please enjoy the time off as the work of
school officially begins in August.
Please feel free to contact me by email
[email protected] or in the
office at 440-632-0261.

rigs and slashbaits it can be used to make
a more realistic presentation due to the
transparent properties. It will allow for a
better detection of hits, pickups, structure
and bottom contact.
Lastly, there is braid (aka superline);
some love and some loathe it. Braid offers
almost no stretch, thinner diameter, options
for colored lines, the best sensitivity, no
memory, and neutral buoyancy. One of
the main upsides to braid is the fact that a
30-pound test braid is the same diameter
as a 6-pound test monofilament, so when
there is an 8-pound test braid it is as thin as
1-pound test monofilament. Monofilament
or fluorocarbon of the same diameter can
be tied to braid as a leader. This means
you get the pros of both the leader and
the main line. The downside of braid is
that it is opaque, can cut hands and some
line guides when tension is applied, and
can overwind in spinning gear. So when
choosing lines consider what properties are
key to your needs.

Line is one of the main
components in fishing,
however three main
types of line dominate
t o d a y ’s m a r k e t :
monofilament,
f l u o ro c a r b o n , a n d
braid.
Each has their distinct differences
along with pros and cons. Monofilament,
mono for short, is the line that is typically
sold on a rod and reel combo. The line is
translucent in water and has low sensitivity
and high stretch. This stretch can be useful
in a situation such as trolling. However,
mono floats, has memory, knots must be
wet before synching down and hook set
strength is reduced.
Fluorocarbon is transparent in
water, has very little stretch and good
sensitivity due to the low stretch and sinks.
The downside to fluorocarbon is that it
can break due to small cuts from rocks,
teeth, etc. But if used with crankbaits,
spinnerbaits, jigs, wacky rigs, weed less

On April 21, 1959, Alfred Dean caught a
2,664-pound great white shark off the
coast of south Australia. Amazingly, he
subdued this monster — the heaviest
record fish ever listed by the International
Game Fish Association — in only 50
minutes on 130-pound line. Dean also
caught great whites weighing 2,333 and
2,536 pounds.

& livestock arena, adorned in crisp polo
shirts and anxious expressions. They are
waiting their turn to step in the ‘show ring’
to have their animals’ auctioned. Most of
them are thinking about one thing: I really
hope someone will buy my animal. The
auctioneer barks out an opening bid. No
takers. Then someone makes a bid and the
price climbs. Another bid. Another. And
then a complete stranger buys their animal.
Someone they don’t even know. It’s the
best feeling in the world.
The Junior Fair Livestock Sale is a
highlight of The Great Geauga County
Fair for many 4-H kids. They work with
their animals all summer – anything from
chickens to beef to lambs – feeding,
exercising and giving the best care possible.
Then, when the end of August rolls around,
they show them at the Fair, are graded by
a judge and then take the animals to the
Livestock Sale. Many kids use the proceeds
to cover costs of feed and supplies, and
many more apply their earnings for college
and other endeavors. For many, it’s a reallife course in marketing and economics 101!
Success for the Livestock Sale comes
from getting more willing buyers to come
to the sale. That’s why the Junior Fair
Livestock Sale Ambassadors was formed.
It’s a group of 4-H kids doing their best
to attract businesses and individuals to
the Junior Fair Livestock Sale. This group
is seeking local business or civic groups
(such as Kiwanis, church groups, etc.) who
want to learn about 4-H and Junior Fair,
and will come to your group to make a
quick presentation. What’s in it for you?
The Livestock Sale is a great opportunity
for local business people to gain exposure
with a captive audience. Also, it’s a great
chance to purchase delicious, locally-raised
meat – ready in a few days cut, wrapped,
and frozen. The best part – you will be
supporting Geauga County’s young people!
If you are interested in hearing
a presentation from the Junior Fair
Livestock Sale Ambassadors, contact Todd
Montazzoli at [email protected].
com 440-387-2435. The Livestock Sale will
be Saturday, Aug. 30 at The Great Geauga
County Fair, with the small animal auction
at 2:30 p.m. and the large animal auction at
5 p.m. We hope to see you there!

Essentials For Protecting Your
Intellectual Capital
Intellectual Capital is your know how,
designs, value of any patents, design
documents, software, customer lists and
so forth. It has value and often appears
on corporate balance sheets at “intangible
assets”. Like any asset, you need to take
steps to protect it.
The first habit you should adopt is
to record all such material and keep it in
a safe place. For designing activities, you
need to have Engineering Logs where
each designer records, signs and dates all
development notes, sketches and other
material. Keep these logs in a safe and
secure place. All drawings and specification
sheets, including production documents,
process sheets, QA manuals, etc. should
have a standard ledger block showing that
they are confidential.
Further, they should be marked
the property of your business and not
authorized to be reproduced or modified.
Get your attorney to suggest language, or
look at what language another reputable
company has on their documents.
If you have a unique design, you may
wish to pursue a patent. If so, you will need
a specialized patent attorney. Patents take
time –you need to do detailed submittals
and convey the technical information to the
attorney. The attorney will need to research
prior art from existing patents before you

know if you are a candidate to potentially
get a patent. They also are costly - hundreds
of dollars per hour for attorney fees.
If you are considering applying for a
patent, you need to take specific steps to
protect your invention.
First, if you divulge your invention prior
to applying for the patent, you risk not being
able to prevent those to who you divulged
from practicing your invention. In the USA,
you must file your patent application within
one year of any public divulgence in order
to qualify.
For several foreign countries, including
the EU, you must file prior to any public
divulgence. So do not show models,
samples or designs at trade shows, to
customers or in other public venues before
you have made your patent decision. I
would suggest you seek an exploratory
meeting with a qualified patent attorney
early on, to understand all aspects of a
patent application, and your chances for
success before deciding. It will cost you only
a few hours of attorney fees.
Remember that when you get a patent,
you are by definition divulging your design
details. This leaves it open for a competitor
to know exactly what you are doing.
Sometimes, the best protection can be to
use design approaches that are difficult
to “reverse engineer” and forget about
patents.
Think in terms of a cake. It is a unique
combination of ingredients. However, just
having the ingredients does not make a
cake.
You need to know the amount of each
ingredient and the way they are combined;
you need the recipe. How can you create a
“recipe” for your product?
There are other ways to get a measure
of protection for your design and other
proprietary information, which we will
discuss next time.
Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is
found in those who take advise .~ Proverbs
13:10

Ease Isn’t Easy
By Christina Grand Porter
Lori Gorrell from Upward
Solutions has been
helping me take steps
to be more positive
and focused to reach
my goal of writing for
a living. A writer has to
accept a lot of rejection
before clicking with just that right agent
who will help them launch their career, but
it does happen all the time. I am now on the
third step, which is ease.
I must admit this was the toughest
article in this series for me to write, perhaps
because I’m still a work in progress in this
area. I have set my goal and am clear and
focused about it, but I’m still working
on the ease. I’ve made progress but do
slip backwards now and then because,
like many others, I tend to reflect inward,
making my aspirations feel huge. Focus and
clarity helps me live from the inside out and
I am able to view my situation externally
most of the time, but it’s far easier to slip
back and wallow in doubt and defeat than
it is to stay strong and believe that I can do
anything I set my mind to 100 percent of the
time. Therapists tell us a positive mindset is
difficult for many because we soak up so
much negative feedback throughout our
lives that it’s tough to see ourselves the way
we want to be. It’s the whole sweating the
small stuff syndrome; absorbing negative
things instead of exuding the positive.
It’s all a matter of perspective. I can
either focus on the fact that there are
so many authors like me trying to get
published, or I can turn my thinking
around and concentrate on the fact that
approximately 300,000 new book titles are
put out by major publishers annually in
the U.S. That isn’t counting small presses
and self-published books, so my goal
is extremely surmountable. Instead of
thinking how it’s all about the money in the
industry and so being a good book is not
always enough in the sea of submissions,
it’s much easier and less stressful to forget
those other authors and realize a lot of
books are being published, so there’s
definitely room for mine. It is hard work to
maintain this positive attitude even though
it feels so much better to view things in this
light, and as Lori would say, “It’s far more
interesting.”
Neuroplasticity refers to changes in
neural pathways in the brain due to physical
and external changes. Experts state that
repetitive positive thought and positive
activity can actually rewire the human brain.
Some of us need this more than others. I
come from a family who always examined
the worst-case scenarios when something
out of the ordinary arose; there was always
anticipation for bad things happening even
in situations where all the facts weren’t
present, so I have to force myself into the
habit of expecting happy outcomes. I am
getting much better with Lori’s help and I
have noticed some fascinating results since
I began to feel more confident and open. It
used to be that when I saw an email from
an agent, a sense of dread as I prepared to
be rejected came over me. Now I approach
them with optimism and have been getting
requests to see my manuscripts. When I am
able to release the expectations of what
has happened and look ahead to what can
happen, things seem to change for the
better. The past is gone and the future is
alive with possibilities, so there is no reason
for any of us to expect anything except
success, joy and ease.

The Geauga County Paramedic Training Program, overseen by the University Hospitals
(UH) EMS and Disaster Preparedness Institute graduated 11 students in June. All 11 graduates
have become nationally registered paramedics and maintain the program’s 100 percent pass
rate – far above the state’s benchmark of 80 percent. Five of this year’s graduates are now
practicing in the region served by UH Geauga Medical Center.
The paramedic-training program supports area fire departments and special rescue
teams by providing initial and continuing education. It also provides state-of-the-art
emergency care in collaboration with UH Geauga Medical Center’s Emergency Department.
The curriculum follows the national standards for paramedic training, which encompasses
trauma, medical emergencies, advanced life support and new innovations in EMS.
“The Geauga County Paramedic Training Program is designed to fulfill the needs of
all the communities UH Geauga Medical Center serves,” says Dan Ellenberger, NREMT-P,
director of Emergency Services, University Hospitals. “It offers 16 hours a week of classroom
education and at least 10 hours per week of clinical rotations in a range of emergency care
environments.” The program also includes field internships where paramedics-in-training
ride with rescue squads for approximately 400 hours to apply their training in real-world
situations.
University Hospitals’ Geauga County Paramedic Program is now accepting Emergency
Medical Technician applications for the 2014-2015 training year, its 18th. Details and an
application are available at www.uhems.org. Applications for the nine-month program will
be accepted through mid-August. Weekday classes begin the first week of September.
Home Meal Drivers Needed
The Geauga County Department on Aging is in need of Home Delivered Meal Drivers
to deliver meals as a substitute (when the driver is available), once a month or as often
as they would like. Many Companies or civic groups send different individuals from their
organization on the same day once a week or once month.
The meal routes are delivered Monday through Friday and usually take between 1.5 - 2
hours from start to finish. Just think, a couple hours of your time provides a nutritious lunch
for 10 to 15 homebound seniors. If you are 18 years of age or older, have a valid driver’s
license and proof of insurance, the Department on Aging needs your help. To get involved,
call the Geauga County Department on Aging at 440-279-2130, 440-564-7133 ext. 2130, or
440-834-1586 ext. 2130.

Foster Care and Adoption
Geauga County has been experiencing an increase in the needs of families and children
in the past several years. This has caused the demand for certified foster and adoptive parents
to increase as well. There are many families in crisis in our own neighborhoods that require
the supportive services of our agency. You and your family could be part of the support.
Children need a nurturing family that can provide them with stability, love and guidance,
while their own family works on making positive changes, so they can be reunified.
Consider becoming a foster and/or adoptive family for the Geauga County children who
need and deserve your support. The agency will walk you through the process of becoming
certified, providing support along the way.
There will be an information meeting on Monday, July 21 at 6 p.m. at the Bainbridge
Public Library, located at 17222 Snyder Road, Bainbridge (44032). Please RSVP by July 18 to
Amanda Ward at 440-285-1205, or email at [email protected].

By Dr. David Fakadej
Healthy Salt
A study came out last
year titled “Scientists
Officially Link Processed
Foods To Autoimmune
D i s e a s e”. T h a t g o t
my
attention. The
article it started with
the modern diet of processed foods and
microwave meals as a possible blame
for increased autoimmune diseases such
as multiple sclerosis, alopecia (hair loss),
asthma and eczema.
Scientists from Yale and the University
of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany said
junk food diets could be to blame, partly!
Huh? Are they working on a hunch? Well,
poor wording evolved and the focus
turned to refined salt! The Canadian
Medical Association Journal sent out
an international team of researchers to
compare the salt content of 2,124 items
from fast food restaurants including the
subs and chickens and found the average
salt content varied between companies
and between the same products sold in
different countries.
Interestingly, not surprisingly since
the U.S. health ranks as low or lower than
some third-world countries, U.S. fast foods
typically use more than twice the refined
salt in their food compared to other
healthy countries. Bread is the number
one source of refined salt consumption in
the U.S. according to the CDC, (Center for
Disease Control).
Finally, the article offered what I was
seeking. T-helper cells (immune cells in the
body known as Th17 cells) activate and
‘help’ other cells to fight bacteria, viruses
and infections. Exposing T-helper cells to
a table salt solution (refined salt) activated
the T-helper cells more aggressively.
Mice fed a diet high in refined salt had
a dramatic increase in the number of Th17
cells in their nervous system and promoted
inflammation and had an increased
incidence in developing a severe form of
disease associated with multiple sclerosis in
humans.
The scientists then conducted a
closer examination at a molecular level.
Lab tests revealed salt exposure raised
cytokines, released by Th17 cells, to a level
10 times greater than typical. One author
stated, “These findings are an important
contribution to the understanding of
multiple sclerosis.”
A professor from Yale said nature
does not intend for the immune system to
attack the host … an external factor was
playing a part. This is a vital point. Disease
does not happen for no reason – genetic
predisposition or not. Something must
trigger autoimmune activity. Genetics and
evolution indicate humans are sub-Saharan
African beings, a place where there was no
refined salt.
The team plans to study the role that
Th17 cells play in autoimmune conditions
affecting the skin to determine if reducing
salt and reduce psoriasis.
Finally the article discusses “Good
Salts.” Salt is critical to our health. Humans
don’t have the metabolic machinery to
process refined salt – household table
salt with no nutritional value. However,
rose-colored Himalayan salt or grey
Celtic salt or black Hawaiian salt, loaded
with other minerals that confer the color,
tremendously benefit the body and flavor.
Tears are salty, as is saliva, organs (especially
hormone producing endocrine glands) and
perspiration. The chemical and mineral
composition of blood and other body fluids
are similar to seawater. As a developing
fetus, we are encased in a sack of mineral
salt.
In the end, the article had less to do
with processed food and more to do with
refined salt. Now, if I could get people
to stop using refined sugar and refined
(processed) food . . . we would start eating
more like third-world countries. Then ‘We
the People’ may develop a third-world level
of health!

My mother, Ann Andresky, age 89, died June 4, 2014 at Briar
Hill Health Care. I moved Mom from her lifelong home in PA to
Ohio in 2010 due to health issues.
For 3 1/2 years she lived a full and happy life at Brooks House
Assisted Living in Troy. In those years, a day didn’t go by when
my mom didn’t express, “This is the best place I ever lived. They
take such good care of me.” Each and every staff member made
her feel so loved and a part of the “family”. Many of the residents
became her closest friends. I thank each and every one of you
for your love, attention, friendship, humor, faith and care.
I would also like to express my sincere thanks to the staff at
Briar Hill Health Care and Dr. Steven Arnold for care and time,
above and beyond what I would have expected, the last 6 weeks
of Mom’s life. Your tender, patient, and loving care of Mom will
not be forgotten. I am especially grateful for the loving support
given to me during Mom’s passing. You were so sensitive to my
needs as well as Mom’s.
The scripture, Philippians 1:3, comes to mind, “I thank my
God upon every remembrance of you.”

Painful Perspectives
Recently I had hernia surgery. My son,
now a doctor, assured me the night before
that it is a “low risk” procedure. Thankfully
everything went fine and I am well into
the healing process. Nevertheless, I found
myself in considerable pain. Ouch! I moved
like an old man, slowly and carefully. Simple
movements gave reason for hesitation
and then a grimace. Of course my little
discomfort was nothing compared to the
ongoing challenges faced by those of you
who are fighting some significant health
issue. A long-term illness or disability can
bring continual pain or even doubt about
long-term survival. It revives the age-old
question about pain and suffering and
why a good God allows it. For centuries
theologians have offered profound
thoughts and insights on the matter.
However, let me just keep it simple.
Pain brings perspective. It helps (forces!)
us to step back and consider a bigger
picture of life and personal experience. It
slows us down and enables us to see some
things we wouldn’t otherwise be able to see
and understand. Pain may protect us from
further harm or get us off a path we would
be wise not to follow anymore. Allow me to
suggest four “benefits” that offer some food
for thought.
1. Pain encourages us to pause and
take inventory on the activities of life. What
am I doing right that helps my journey from
day to day? On the other hand, what needs
to change in order to move me forward in a
way that proves helpful and satisfying?
2. Pain shows us that we need others.
We often try to “fly solo” and blaze our own
independent trails. However, you and I are
designed to be in meaningful relationships
that encourage and support us. The Bible
tells us that as we learn to share and carry
each other’s burdens, love blossoms and
shows us how beautiful life together can be.
3. Pain invites a connection to God.
His amazing love is always reaching out
to you. The Lord desires your faith to grow
as you discover and develop a personal
relationship with Jesus. Remember, Jesus
suffered greatly and was well acquainted
with pain. He embraced and endured the
Cross in order to bring you his forgiveness
and fill you with his transforming presence.
4. Pain reminds us that we are mortal
and causes us to realize that this earthly life
is brief and temporary. It is just a steppingstone to what lies beyond the grave
(heaven or hell). Our heavenly Father wants
you to be ready for eternity. Although He is
full of compassion and the source of great
comfort, He may allow us to suffer because
of this bigger picture. Every wise parent
teaches his or her child with a view toward
the future. God does the same.
So . . . hang in there! Look to God for
His wisdom and strength. Share your need
with somebody else so they can help! Don’t
forget that this life is just a prelude to what
follows. Be encouraged. I am praying for
you!
Roger Kruse travels once again to India
later this month. He is privileged to be a small
part of God’s work, helping to bring the light
and love of Jesus to a waiting world. Contact
