Color my world This is the time of year when I am just amazed at the beauty of the colors that are so visible over the hills and valleys of southwest Wisconsin. It is breathtaking on some of these days when the sun is shining amidst a few snowy white clouds and a vividly blue sky.

My wife and I have had the privilege of traveling to many places in this great country, but there are few locations that can compare to the beauty of this place we call home. Next time you are out and about, take a minute and really look at the number of shades of the color green that can be seen across the fields. Every plant has a little different tint.

The cornfields, soybeans, alfalfa, mixed in with patches of woodland containing evergreens, oaks, maples, walnut, and cottonwood trees is just absolutely stunning. Not to mention the tans and browns of the corn tassels, wheat, rye, oats, and barley fields.

Like I said, it is simply awesome to behold, but sometimes we aren’t looking like we should.

In my small dairy herd, I have a variety of colors as well, that I find fascinating. There is the classic black and white Holsteins with their many distinct and unique patterns on display. Then there is the golden brown of my Brown Swiss cow, the chocolate browns of the jerseys, the dark maroon of my shorthorn cow, and finally the bright red of my red and white

Holsteins.

I have all of these varieties in my herd and I enjoy the diversity and individuality of each animal.

I almost forgot the midnight black of my angus cows as well.

Even though life has thrown us a few curve balls the last few months, the beauty and creativity of God has not been disrupted in the least. I find it extremely comforting to know that God is still on the throne of heaven with open arms for mankind to really notice and look at all that He has created for our pleasure.

He also is calling us to open up our hearts to the free gift He has given to each and every person on the planet who will simply believe in Him. Most people I talk to have this idea that if they have any hope of heaven someday, it will be because they somehow have done enough good things to get there.

This is so opposite of what the Bible says. In the scriptures we learn right from the start that there is nothing we can do to earn God’s favor, so He provided the way for us to be saved. He did it all.

First of all, He came into our

world as a human. He became a man. I love learning how Jesus actually healed thousands and thousands of people when He walked this earth. He showed His tremendous love for mankind in this way.

Then He topped it off by dying for us. He took our punishment so that we could receive God’s favor through faith in His son. The only thing we must do is believe this is true, and the gift of salvation is ours. 2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us that He who was sinless, (Jesus Christ) became sin for us, so that we might become righteous in Him. The beauty of God’s creation is nothing compared to the beauty of salvation in the heart of a true believer in Jesus. He wants to turn your world into something amazing if you will let Him. Just place your faith and trust in Him today and you will experience His incredible favor.

Until next week, God bless.

We are living in unprecedented times. Tough times. A virus has torn our nation apart. The murder of a man (and too many others like him) has torn our nation apart. We as a people, in some regards, have torn ourselves apart. It is beyond sad – for our country and us as individuals.

We are a nation divided. And, honestly, I’m not sure where we go from here. These times are as serious as murder and a pandemic.

I don’t want to make lightly of those facts.

Still, sometimes, you’ve got to laugh. Because laughter can lighten the load. It is food for the spirit and the soul. We can find something silly or goofy in just about every situation – even COVID. Laughter is something we can all agree on. And we need to do more of that. Find common ground.

Agree to disagree and agree that maybe not all of our own answers are the right answers. Maybe the other side has a point or two to make.

How an integrated life, not a balanced one, is key to work satisfaction

By Michael Sipe THE AVADA PRINCIPLE

In a world where working from home, family, recreation, faith and other factors compete for our time, people speak about the need to seek a “balanced life.”

But maybe “balance” is the wrong goal.

“The concept of being in ‘balance’ has the potential to set us up for immediate failure,” says Michael Sipe, author of The AVADA Principle and founder of the consulting firm 10x Catalyst Groups (www.10xgroups.com).

“We talk about work/life balance as if work and the rest of our lives are separate things. But in reality, work and everything else are all part of one life.”

Instead of balance, Sipe suggests seeking an “integrated life,” where the integral parts of life are combined into a fully functioning whole. He acknowledges that’s easier said than done.

“It’s a challenge to determine what the integral parts of human life are, how to integrate them, and what a fully functioning and completely whole life would be like,” he says.

For Sipe, a major part of that integration involves faith. But his suggestions on how to approach your job so that it is integrated into the rest of your life are

relevant regardless of spiritual views.

In Sipe’s view, work often gets a bad rap. Work is actually a neutral concept, he says, and the larger evaluation is not that we “have” to work, or how much we work. Instead the key is to look at the purposes toward which our work is directed and to be intentional about how we allocate our energy.

In managing your attitude about work, Sipe recommends that you: Focus on purpose. “One definition of work is energy directed toward a purpose,” Sipe says. “If you find yourself holding a detrimental attitude about your work, take a look at your purpose.

Perhaps you simply are not directing

your energy toward a purpose you care about.” If so, he says, consider changing your work so that you can invest your energy toward a purpose that matters to you. Alternatively, perhaps you have not connected your work to your purpose, and thus, your motivation to work is suffering.

Avoid griping. The more you declare that work is hard, bad, unpleasant, a waste of time, and a drag, the more it will be all those things for you, Sipe says. “Reframe work as good, as a joy, a blessing, a challenge, an opportunity, a privilege, an investment,” he says. “Loving your work is a choice – your choice.”

Take responsibility and take charge. If you don’t like your work, Sipe says, then change it. “You are not a tree rooted in place; you can move,” he says. “You are not a victim or a slave. If you are blessed to live in the Western world, and espe-

cially if you are blessed to live in America, you are free to do the work you love toward purposes you desire” Ask yourself better questions. When things aren’t working out as you hoped you might be inclined to ask yourself, “Why me? Why is this so hard? What did I do to deserve this?” Instead, Sipe says, ask yourself: “What am I supposed to learn here?” He says you could also do as the late Jim Rohn, a motivational speaker, instructed: “Don’t ask why things are so hard; ask how you can get better.”

“The concept of work is simple, but we tend to complicate it,” Sipe says.

“And work really does apply to everything we do. Yes, we can work at a job, but we also work on our health, work on our education, work on our marriage, work on our friendships, and work on our faith. It’s all energy applied toward

a purpose.”

About Michael Sipe Michael Sipe, author of The AVADA Principle, is the founder of 10x Catalyst Groups (www.10xgroups.com) which helps entrepreneurs grow profitable and thriving businesses organized on a foundation of Biblical principles. Sipe has also enjoyed a successful 30-plus year career in mergers, acquisitions, and business development as the founder of CrossPointe Capital, a middle market investment-banking firm. In that capacity, he consulted with and evaluated over 5,000 companies and has provided advisory services for approximately a half-billion dollars in business sales involving hundreds of companies. He remains active in transactional work and has been a key advisor in mergers and acquisitions projects covering a multitude of industry sectors.

Fun by the Numbers Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
