Problem Solving

No matter what you do or where you live there will always be things to fix, burdens to share, and problems to solve.
During this time of year we generally meet in the office first thing in the morning for coffee and make a plan for the day. However at noon if Jan is home and we are not too busy we go to the house for lunch. Sometimes these noon visits involve a broader range of conversations from broken washing machines whether or not to buy a vehicle. Here Mike is describing to his brothers and sister a small solution to the subject at hand.

This string of tile is going in behind the pond dike. The goal is to dry up a wet spot and solve the problem of Jan getting stuck with the lawn mower this summer.


Jan tore the meniscus cartilage on the inside of her knee and is laid up this week. The solution is to go to Ames and have Dr. Greenwald fix it with microsoptic surgery like he did Kurt's a couple of years back. The problem is jumping through all the right hoops for the insurance folks and getting a referral. Jan is being painfully patient waiting at home and I'm doing my best to take good care of her.



There will always be obsticles that cross our paths. How we handle them defines personality. How we solve them defines charecter. What we learn from them defines wisdom.




One day Jesus was talking to some friends in Galilee. He told them that if things were overwhelming and they were having problems they could go to Him and He would give them rest. He told them to learn from Him and they would find rest for their souls. He offers us that same advise every day.
