Build a door when opportunity doesn’t knock -By
There are some people who spend their entire lives working with an attitude not unlike Snoopy, the cherished “Peanuts” cartoon character. Snoopy sat droopy eyed at the entrance of his doghouse lamenting, “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I’m a dog. Tomorrow I’ll probably still be a dog. SIGH. There’s so little hope for advancement.”
I view career advancement as a vital aspect of professional life. It is not just about climbing the corporate ladder or getting a bigger paycheck, although those can be nice perks. It is about personal growth, expanding your skills and increasing your ability to contribute to your organization and society.
When I think of personal growth, I’m reminded of a story that U.S. President Abraham Lincoln once told a group of government employees:
“You people remind me of the boy who set a hen on 43 eggs and expected them to hatch. Then he rushed to tell his mother what he had done.”
‘“But a hen can't set on 43 eggs,’ replied his mother.
“‘No,’ replied the boy, ‘I guess she can't. But I just wanted to see her spread herself.’
“That is what I would like to see you people do,” concluded President Lincoln.
I strongly believe in the power of education and self-improvement. Continuously learning and adapting is essential for career advancement. Stay current with industry trends
JULY 17-18 & 20-22
and expand your knowledge base.
“Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field,” said Denis Waitley, motivational speaker, author and consultant.
Work on improving areas where you’re lacking and leveraging your strengths. Find ways to increase your efficiency without sacrificing quality. Focus your energy on tasks that have the most significant impact on your goals.
Let your excitement for your work shine through. It can lead to more opportunities and inspire those around you. If your enthusiasm is waning, seek out new challenges or projects that can reignite your passion.
Actively pursue opportunities to learn new skills or improve existing ones, whether through formal education or on-the-job training.
Be a good communicator by improving your writing and speaking skills. Clear and effective writing is essential in most professions. Enhance your public speaking skills to better articulate your ideas and gain confidence.
Consistently delivering high-quality work is crucial in building trust. Your reputation is built one task at a time. Follow through on your commitments and ensure tasks are completed to the best of your ability. Make sure your efforts are visible to those who make decisions about promotions and career opportunities.
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs said: “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you‘ll know when you find it.”
Setbacks are part of the career journey. Learn from them. Maintaining a positive attitude can help you see opportunities for growth in the face of adversity.
Harvey Mackay
Be resourceful. Be proactive in seeking out the information you need to succeed.
Cultivate a network of professional contacts. Every new connection is a potential opportunity. These relationships can provide support and advice as well. Seek mentors who can offer insights based on their experiences. Be open to mentoring others.
Regularly ask for feedback on your performance and pay attention. Anticipate the needs of your department and address them before being asked. Always aim to provide solutions, not just identify problems.
Establish clear, achievable goals for both the near future and down the road. Keep track of your progress towards your goals and adjust your strategies as needed.
Embrace change in this dynamic business world, a key component of career advancement. Look for ways to innovate. This can set you apart from your peers and show your value to the organization.
Career advancement is not just a goal; it is a journey that involves hard work, strategic thinking and a commitment to excellence. It is about finding ways to add value, improve processes and make a difference in your workplace and beyond.
Don’t be like Snoopy. Career advancement is a marathon, not a sprint. Prepare for the long run with continuous learning and relationship building.
Mackay’s Moral: To climb the career ladder, don’t just step up; build the rungs by improving yourself every day.

“The Good Old Days” -By Tom Kuehne
Carts
We are aware that two things are needed to create a successful financial arrangement. We need a producer and a customer. This type of arrangement probably came to being during the stone age.
When our country was being settled by the immigrants one of the economic problems was getting product, whether it was cattle, grain or animal furs to locations that either had the ability to process the product or ship it to a processing location. Today trucks and trains transfer desired products to the proper locations.
During the “settlement” time of our country there were no railroads or roads for trucks to use. Sometimes goods were carried by humans, on wagons or by horseback. These methods were not efficient, primarily due to the amounts that could be moved at one time and the lack of improved trails.
In 1801, a member of a group of people located between North Dakota, Canada and the US, called Metis became aware of transportation needs. They were the result of personal relationships between immigrant trappers and indigenous women. Their craftsmen designed a trailer that could float, carry 1000 pounds, travel through swampy areas and be repaired using local wood.
The trailers were made of wood and buffalo hide. Two beams were used to form the sides of the trailer box and extend in front to create a space for the oxen, horse and mule that pulled the cart. The wood sides were about 15 inches high. The wheels were about 5 feet in diameter and several inches wide. Some of the wheels had spokes, but originally a 5 to 6 foot diameter log had a 5 to 8 inch block cut off and it was used as a wheel. The sides and bottom were covered with wet buffalo hides, which shrink when dried drawing the wood box boards together. The axle was one piece of dried maple or white oak. No lubrication was used on the axle, since it would gather dirt and make the axle wear out sooner. The movement of the wheels on the axels created
a squealing sound that could be heard at about a half of a mile. During rain storms the carts were covered with buffalo skins to keep the contents dry.
Originally the carts were used to move the buffalo carcass from the hunting grounds to the residence. As time went by, they began to be used to carry goods, primarily hides, to market at St. Paul, Mn. The return trip would be loads of cloth, guns, ammunition, traps and some agricultural equipment. The carts traveled about 10 miles per day and were usually made up of about 3 to 6 carts. The first cart of the train was led by the Metis driver, the rest of the carts were attached to each other with a rope. The trail, since it is used frequently, is two wheel tracks worn into the dirt and easy for the train to stay on the trail. The trail from Canada to St. Paul is about 400 miles.
Carts were used during the 18th century and were a very needed transportation method for about 40 years during the middle of the century. As the country developed, the railroad decided they could operate profitably between the border and St Paul so they built a railroad. It was much faster and the tracks generally avoided swamp and river crossings. They also didn't have to stop every 10 miles to rest, feed and water the engine. However, the carts were used by residents as long as animal power was used to move items.

From the Desk of Pastor Bruce
I have a cup in my office that I don’t use.
I am afraid that I would break it or something. My Granddaughter gave it to me a couple years ago and the inscription on it says “PASTOR, Warning; Anything you say or do could be used in a sermon!” Sometimes, when I’m thinking about a sermon or maybe my mind wonders, I see that cup sitting there in from of me. It reminds me of my Granddaughter, and it makes me giggle.
That cup reminds me of another era in my life. I was heading to Papua New Guinea around 2006 to build a house for a missionary that our church supported. Before I went on the trip I was required to have a physical exam. The doctor noticed that I had a hernia, and I told him that it didn’t bother me. He told me that I absolutely did not want the surgeons overseas fixing it, so I found myself in surgery. When I was starting to wake up, a lady in our church was one of the recovery nurses. She came up to me and said, “Hi Pastor Bruce, how are you doing?”
When my recovery nurse heard her address me as “Pastor” she got a bit nervous, wondering what she might have said while I was coming out of anesthesia. Even though that story might make us laugh, it is also kind
of sad. Listen now, the condition of our heart is critical. Matthew 12:34-35 “You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.”
Friends, we need to have a heart after God, with gratitude and thanksgiving, then, that is what will come out of our mouth.
A good reminder to keep our heart pure and righteous!
-Pastor Bruce Miller from Swanville Bible Church, 320-547-2916

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, We’ve been following your Baby Steps plan, and we paid off two car loans a few months ago. That freed up almost $800 a month. We have two kids, and we love to go on family camping trips. We’ve been trying to decide on a destination for the next one, but to do this we would need a vehicle with more room. Luckily, we found a used van at a reasonable price, and we think we could have it paid off in no more than 12 months. Would this be okay, since we would still have more money left than before?
-Sara
Dear Sara, Okay, you’re telling me you just got out from under $800 worth of car payments each month, and you want to dive right back in by financing another one? I think you’ve missed the point of my plan. The point is to get out of debt, not just move it around or try to juggle smaller portions.
What you’re actually saying is you’re thinking about putting your family’s financial future in jeopardy, because you want to go
on camping trips in a roomier car. That’s a bad plan! For you guys, something like this right now would be a luxury item. Did you know I went without a vacation for four years trying to get my life back together after I went broke? Four years! I’m not suggesting you live with this attitude for the rest of your life, but I’m pretty sure there are other ways to make family camping trips happen.
Long story short, you don’t need a different vehicle to go camping. And you definitely don’t need to go back into car debt to go camping. Buy a couple of tents, throw them in the back of the car and head for the woods. If your cars are really just too small to handle everything, then rent a bigger car for the weekend. I’d rather you spend a few bucks doing something like that once in a while than picking up another car payment.
Your mindset on this worries me, Sara. The reason for getting out of debt is to live a better life. Living debt-free is smart, less stressful and it makes everything else feel lighter and easier to manage. Live like no one else, so that later, you can live like no one else.
Remember?
Please, don’t do it.

Dear Motor Medics,
I drive a 2015 Subaru Forester with all the options and lately I have been having an issue where all the lights on the dash come on. These are, check engine, ABS, Eye Sight, Service Trac etc. I took it into an auto parts store where they read the codes and they said there were too many to do anything with, so I had to go to a local shop. The shop tried to find out what was wrong and spent a long time on it and they did not charge me, but they said I had to go somewhere else as they could not figure it out. Well, I went back to the same parts store and bought a code reader and connected it to my phone then cleared the codes for the engine, which is all it will let me do, and all the lights went out. Do you think its something serious?

With many cars such as yours, when one code is set by a system like the engine management system, many lights will come on as they all rely on that system to operate. For example. If the Collision avoidance system needs to get a torque signal from the engine management system but there is a fault with it, it will not allow that system to operate and it sets a code. It’s time for a trip to the Subaru dealer.
-Take care, the Motor Medics Dear Motor Medics,
I have a 2010 Toyota Tundra with 300k miles on it and body wise it is a perfect condition truck. The truck has zero rust anywhere and is even clean underneath as we had it professionally undercoated by NHOU when it was new and have had it rechecked and touched up every three years since. This is a work truck, and we have it lettered which was expensive and replaced the transmission
two years ago which cost a large amount. The engine has now failed. During recent rains our driver ran through some deep water, and it splashed into the air cleaner intake and damaged the engine. The dealership says a new engine is the only option. Cost of repairs is over 10k dollars and to buy another truck just like it with 130k will cost 15K. What do you suggest? We don’t want to spend more money but buying someone else’s problems does not appeal either.
-Marvin in Owatonna, Minnesota Dear Marvin, This comes up at our shop all the time. It’s up to you but what we tell our customers is to see what others just like yours cost and weigh the options. You have done that, and it looks like you can fix it cheaper than buying another. That other one won’t have the engine warranty that your new one will so that’s also a thought. Check on low mileage used engines with a warranty too.
