One day a small mouse surfaced from his nest to find himself between the paws of a huge sleeping lion, which immediately awoke and seized him. The mouse pleaded with the fierce beast to be set free. The lion being very noble and wise, and in no need of such small prey, agreed to let the relieved mouse go on its way.
Some days later in the same part of the forest, a hunter caught the lion in a trap. The lion sat there trussed up in a strong net, helpless, waiting for the hunter to return. But the mouse came along next and saw the lion in need of help. He promptly set about biting and gnawing through the net, which soon began to unravel, setting the great lion free.
The moral of the story is of course that the good you do for others often comes back to help you.
English theologian John Wesley offered this advice: “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”
If that sounds like a tall order, I challenge you to give it a try and see how your own life improves. Even if those favors are never returned.
Doing favors for people is a common
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25
theme in political and business circles. Politicians often build networks by doing favors for others. This strategy allows them to accumulate goodwill and support, which can be invaluable when they need backing for their initiatives or during elections.
The idea is that by helping others, they build a relationship that might later be useful. This is also a powerful tool in business, leveraging networks to achieve goals.
Doing favors can be strategically advantageous for several reasons:
Building a network of goodwill. This network can be invaluable in business, as it often leads to reciprocal actions that can benefit you in the future. By helping others, you establish a foundation of trust and mutual respect, which can open doors to new opportunities.
Strengthening relationships. Offering assistance or favors without expecting immediate returns can strengthen relationships. When you help someone, they are more likely to think positively of you and your business, which can lead to stronger partnerships and collaborations in the long run.
Creating leverage. In negotiations or business dealings, doing favors can give you an edge when seeking support, advice or assistance in critical situations. People are more inclined to help when they feel they are returning a favor.
Encouraging a culture of reciprocity. By fostering a culture where favors are exchanged, you encourage a collaborative and supportive environment. This can lead to increased productivity and innovation, as team members are more willing to share resources and ideas.
Ethical considerations. While there are strategic advantages, it’s essential to approach this dynamic ethically. The goal should be to build genuine relationships and offer help sincerely, rather than manipulating others for personal gain.
Actress Audrey Hepburn said, “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands – one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”
Mahatma Gandhi, whose life and actions were guided by a deep commitment to doing good and living ethically, had a philosophy centered around the principles of nonviolence, truth and social justice. He believed in the power of individual actions to bring about significant change, and he consistently practiced what he preached.
Gandhi’s approach to life was encapsulated in his formula for achieving balance, which involved recognizing and avoiding the seven big sins of life: wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity,

“The Good Old Days” -By Tom Kuehne
Saturday Night as a Kid
Thinking back about Saturday night while we were growing up brings to mind happenings that were almost ritualistic. We, almost without exception, did things on Saturday night that made us ready for the special day, Sunday.
One of the main things that were done on Saturday night was the bath. It seems that almost everyone had a bath on Saturday night. Before indoor plumbing, the bath was usually done in either in a wash tub or an oblong white porcelain tub, with either pink or black decorative edge on the rim. The water in the tub was usually used by several family members before it was dumped in the yard. The location of the bath in the home was usually in the kitchen, since many homes didn’t have a bathroom. Without sewer and running water, the use of a larger amount of water usually happened near an outside door or near a pail which was also dumped outside. The warm water for the bath was heated on the wood stove.
When homes became modernized, the tub water came out of the faucet. However, many of us recall taking a bath after other household members and the warm water faucet produced cold water and we still had to add warm water from the kitchen stove reservoir or a pan of warm water from the stove. It was much more comfortable than a wash tub.
Another Saturday night ritual for boys occurred about every four weeks. Haircut night. I’m sure that a few of the guys still remember getting a hair cut with a hand-powered clipper. For those who have never come in contact with one, it was chromium colored, had blades on the business end which moved back and forth with the squeeze and release action on the two handles. It was moved up the neck, clipping as it went and the hair was cut. The part which was most memorable was the pulling of the hair which this procedure produced. The older guys tolerated the pulling, but the younger boys cried, screamed and tried to hide when it was time for a hair cut. Electric clippers were a great invention!
Sunday shoes needed to be polished. This was usually a really big project. In Summer it was done on the porch steps and in the Winter was done on the basement steps. Sunday shoes were usually also school shoes. They were subject to the usual kid abuse from rain, dew, recess ball games, mud and the rest of the things boys do. They had to be brushed with a vegetable type brush and then polished. Several layers of polish were applied and buffed to hopefully make the shoes look much more new than they actually were.
Saturday night was also the night when the guys shaved. For some, this was done only on Saturday night. Somehow the shaving water had to be hot enough to steam when the cloth was put on the face to soak up the whiskers, followed by the almost musical sound of the shaving brush in the cup stirring up the shaving cream. In earlier years, the straight edge razor was used, but in later years a safety razor made the job much easier. Sharpening the blade of the safety razor was done by placing it in a blade holder, which was stroked along the leather razor strap. That way one didn’t have to belong to the “dollar a month” shave clubs advertised today.
Saturday night was needed so that people could take their minds off of their daily worries and actually pay attention and improve their own physical selves.

From the Desk of Pastor Bruce
The one scripture passage that I have preached from more than anything else; whether it is in the church or a nursing home or in counseling, it is Philippians 4: 6-8. It seems to be what many Christians in our world today are bothered by, it’s the one thing in their life that brings more stress than anything else, even lack of faith. Our text says “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
My goal and purpose in these articles is to encourage you, the reader. Today I have been convicted of not giving praise and thanksgiving to God in my own life. Some-
Harvey Mackay continued from pg 2 worship without sacrifice and politics without principle. By adhering to these principles, Gandhi not only inspired millions but also led India to independence through peaceful means.
His legacy continues to influence leaders and individuals worldwide, reminding us of the profound impact that doing good can have on society.
The true measure of a person’s life is not in what they achieve for themselves, but in what they do for others.
Mackay’s Moral: In business, the favors you give often come back to you in unexpected and beneficial ways. Build a network of goodwill, and it will serve you well.

times the pressures of life are huge and sometimes they’re small, but our text today says that in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving; present your request to God.
So, whether the lead in your pencil broke or you’re out of coffee, remember to give praise and thanksgiving to God. When you go to the doctor and He gives you some bad news, or your car is in the shop, and you don’t quite have enough money to pay for it give praise and thanksgiving to God.
There might be broken relationships or a car accident, or even a multitude of things, big and small, that give you pause to worship the King of Kings.
Joshua 24:15 says “But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” I love this verse, and it is exactly what I have decided to do! Will you join me? Give all your concerns to Him, with thanksgiving, and He will give you Peace.
As for me and my house, we will praise the Lord!

A Mass of Chrisitan Burial will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, October 27 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in New Munich with Rev. Kevin Soenneker officiating. Interment will be in parish cemetery. Family and friends are encouraged to come as they are – boots, hats, and dancing stories welcome.

Kade was always the wild card of the family and had a passion for bull riding that ran deep in his blood. When the dust settled, you could always find him out on the dance floor should the opportunity arise. Kade loved deeply and never missed an opportunity to show the ones he loved that he loved them entirely. His laugh was contagious, and when he showed it, his smile was infectious.
Of all the titles he ever held, his proudest was “daddy”. His daughter, Josie, was his greatest joy. She was his heart, his reason, and the best part of his world. He loved watching her grow, sharing his love of the outdoors with her, and teaching her what it means to live brave and true. The bond they shared was unshakable, filled with laughter and deep love.
Kade is survived by his daughter, Josie Feldewerd; his parents, Karrie Feldewerd (Brian Thorson) and Dennis Feldewerd (Barb Nathe); his siblings, Levi Feldewerd, Lexi Feldewerd, his twin, Ty Feldewerd, and baby sister, Rylee Feldewerd; grandparents, Roger Majeski, Will and Dorothy Feldewerd; along with many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and his beloved dog, Shrimp.

Parkinson's Support Group Meeting
Gary Carl Glockzin
Gary Carl Glockzin, age 91, passed away peacefully on October 17, 2025, at the Cura Care Center in Sauk Centre, Minnesota.
Born on August 6, 1934, at Swedish Hospital in Minneapolis, Gary was the son of Carl and Carol (Greener) Glockzin. He was raised one mile west of Grey Eagle on the southwest corner of Trace Lake, where his lifelong passion for excavation and heavy equipment was ignited by being hired as an equipment operator on a county road that was being built nearby.
A 1952 graduate of Grey Eagle High School, Gary served as a class officer, contributed to the Eagle and Aquila school publications, and excelled in sports. He started on the varsity football and basketball team as a freshman— earning captain status on the football team as a junior. He also played baseball for the town team. Athletics were a defining part of his early identity.
He briefly attended Antioch College in Ohio, where his carefree nature led to a memorable piano-related incident on the second floor of the dorm that ended his collegiate studies—a story emblematic of the free spirit he carried throughout his life.
In 1954, Gary enlisted in the U.S. Army and served as a topographic surveyor in Okinawa during the Korean War era. He was awarded the National Defense Service Medal and later served as Commander of American Legion Post 258 in Alpine, California—remaining a proud veteran and patriot throughout his life.
His working life was as diverse as it was adventurous. Gary held jobs as a heavy equipment operator traveling to places like Arizona, Montana, California, and even Venezuela. It was at the latter that he spent five years mining gold deep in the Amazon Rain Forest—well before such operations became popularized.
Between stints with larger companies, a third-generation entrepreneur, Gary ran his own excavating businesses in Todd County, MN, and later in San Diego County, CA. He also partnered early in life with his father Charlie in automobile sales and service in Grey Eagle, operating out of what is now known as the Junction—a building constructed by Gary’s grandfather, L.P. Greener.
A pioneer in the snowmobile world, Gary established a Moto-Ski dealership in Grey Eagle and was active in snowmobile racing, including participating in several Winnipeg to St. Paul 500 races. He was also instrumental in the startup of the ready-mix plant in Swanville and ventured into hospitality, owning a bar in Las Vegas outfitted with pool tables and slot machines.
Gary is survived by his sons, Gary A. (Janice nee Schwanke) Glockzin of San Diego, CA, and Randy M. Glockzin of Grey Eagle, MN; grandson Gary A. Glockzin, Jr. of San Diego, CA; and granddaughter Kimberly M. Glockzin (Nicholas Fortin) of Ramona, CA.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Carolyn Jackson, and former spouse Shirley (Little) Glockzin.
Parkinson’s Support Group Meeting is for anyone with Parkinson’s, their families, and caregivers. Next meeting will be November 4th, 2025 at 2 p.m. at the CentraCare Long Prairie West Campus Boardroom, 20 9th St. SE.

A church service will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 11:00 AM with visitation beginning one hour before at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Grey Eagle, officiated by Pastor Michael Bitz. Interment will follow at Lakeview Cemetery in Grey Eagle. A Celebration of Life will take place the same day from 1:00 to 4:00 PM at the Double R Saloon.
Arrangements have been made by the Minnesota Cremation Society. Donations can be made in Gary’s honor to the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) to support the fight against financial exploitation of elders.

Oh, how I will miss you all. My heart aches thinking of all your milestones that I will not be here for physically but know that I am always in a part of you. My spirit will keep you strong. I will also miss dearly my beloved lifelong friends who have been there for me alongside my family for all the struggles in my life. I will ask God to let me remind you always with sunsets of purple and pink, that single butterfly that floats alongside you and doesn’t seem to want to leave your side, I am there in the gentle breeze that comes out of nowhere and brushes your face. And when you look up at the most beautiful night sky, remember I am there among the stars and I am thinking of you. This horrible disease of ALS may have taken my life, but my heart remains with you. God bless, until I see you again. Remember I love you more, more, more. Forever and always. LORI Arrangements were made with PattonSchad Funeral & Cremation Services of Freeport.

Sudoku is one of the most popular puzzle games of all time. The goal of Sudoku is to fill a 9×9 grid with numbers so that each row, column and 3×3 section contain all of the digits between 1 and 9. As a logic puzzle, Sudoku is also an excellent brain game.
Dave Says -By Dave Ramsey
Dear Dave, My wife and I recently learned she’s pregnant. She’s about to begin her second trimester, and we’re both really excited. There is a bit of concern, though. During a detailed ultrasound, the doctor found an issue that might mean our baby could need minor surgery soon after delivery. Financially, we’re in Baby Step 2 of your plan. With the extra bills after the baby’s born, should we save money in a sinking fund for the added expenses while we continue paying off debt?
-Jared
Dear Jared, Congratulations on the new baby! I know you’re both probably on an emotional rollercoaster right now, with the pregnancy and the possibility of surgery for your little one. Make sure you pray and hug on each other a lot in the days ahead, okay? Doctors can do all kinds of incredible things, but including God in any equation is a good idea. Now, should you start a sinking fund for the delivery and any extra expenses while you’re trying to pay off debt? No. When a baby’s on the way, I always recommend folks press pause—not stop—on the Baby Steps and start piling up as much cash as possible.
Then, when mom and the baby come home, we pay the bills, push play on the Baby Steps and get back to work on the debt snowball. Concentrate on building the biggest pile of cash you can over the next several months. And don’t worry about how big that pile of cash gets. There’s no such thing as too big in this case, because after you pay everything insurance doesn’t cover, you’ll put anything that’s left over right back into paying off debt. You’re learning something early on about being a parent, Jared. There’s nothing in the world that can make you happier—or scare you more—than a baby. I’m praying for you and your family. And I hope that little one is born happy, and healthy and perfect. God bless you all.

From the Hosts of the Under The Hood radio show.
Dear Motor Medics,
I have a 2004 Ford F150 truck and I’ve lost the 4-wheel drive. The front end of the truck started to grind for a while before it finally stopped completely. The transfer case does seem to be working because the front driveshaft turns when in 4-wheel drive and does not when it is in 2-wheel drive. Can you guys lead me in a direction of diagnosis that might help feel more secure in what I am told at the repair shop?
-Bernard in Enid, Oklahoma Dear Bernard, We make plenty repairs to the 4 wheel drive systems on these trucks. there is a common problem that starts with a grinding then ends up with a failure. The system uses vacuum to engage and disengage a locking mechanism on the front hubs. When in 2 wheel drive the vacuum is applied and the hubs release. The system uses a small vacuum hose to do this that is activated electrically. That hose has a common fault which causes it to be rubbed through and when it does the system only is half engaged. This is like trying to put a transmission into gear without using the clutch. Eventually the gear grinding eats the teeth off the hubs. To repair it the hubs and the actuators need to be replaced and the vacuum

-Take care, the Motor Medics Dear Motor Medics,
I’ve had an ongoing issue with my 2008 Chevrolet Impala. The check engine light has been coming on and I’ve had it scanned several times and I got a code which says I have a failed thermostat. So here is the problem. I replaced the thermostat myself then had my local auto parts store who read the code clear it and now less than a week later the light is back on with the same code. I have good heat and the temp gauge reads in the normal range. Have you ever seen this before?
-Mark in Manhattan, Kansas Dear Mark,
We have seen this and one possibility is that the thermostat has failed a second time either due to a faulty part or there is something else wrong in the system which is making it think you have a failure. One of these possibilities is a failed temp sensor on the cooling system or possibly the connector going to it. When we make this repair which we do very often, we replaced the sending unit and its connector pigtail and the thermostat then clear the codes and verify operation. Some people opt to just do part of the repair but then find they need to go back and do the rest and end up spending more money. Diagnosing the system is fairly straight forward for a repair shop with a scanner, a multimeter and temp probe. Hope this helps you out.
