Last year we received so much positive feedback about the comedic relief we were entertained with from The Amish Country Theatre in Walnut Creek, Ohio, that we decided to bring them back. Voted as a top 100 event stop from the American
Tour Bus Association, we are sure to experience some more side splitting laughter once again this year.
This year ’ s comedy will feature “ L ynyrd ” , a spotlight stealing country bumpkin, who is as unpredictable as an Ohio
weather forecast. The Amish Country Theatre receives very high ratings from it ’ s audience. Two quotes from visitors
were:
“ I was expecting an 8 and got a 20 ” ,
“ I haven ’ t laughed like that in years ” .

Well, we have made it through the first half of 2016, and if you are not
careful – the entire year will pass by and you will be at the same place in life
that you are were last year. No change. No improvements. No growth. Blah !
From all the things that I study – the most difficult step in making changes in
your life is the very first step. Most people feel like they just cannot do it. I
have to admit to myself that I was crippled for a large part of my younger

me that sometimes I am asleep within thirty seconds of closing my eyes. She is shocked that I can turn
off my mind and fall asleep so quickly. If falling asleep is an art, then I am most definitely an artist. Here
are some helpful tips that I use to fall asleep quickly.
1. Have a sleep routine. In general, I do not like routines. However, when it comes to going to bed I
love having a routine to fall asleep. Once I lay down, I try to clear my mind. I shut my eyes and count
to ten in my head, taking a deep breath after each number. This helps me turn off my mind from the
daily activities I deal with and focus on falling asleep.
2. Get exercise. I cannot emphasize enough how much exercise has helped me fall asleep faster.
Being active keeps you healthy, but also wears you out. At bedtime, I notice a difference between
days I get exercise and days I do not.
3. Turn off the screens. In a world run by technology, it can be hard to put down your phone or turn off
the television. However, looking at a screen thirty minutes before bedtime can cause problems when
trying to go to bed. I understand how difficult this may be, but I can recall countless times when I
could have gone to bed an hour or two earlier if I just turned off the screens.
4. Stop worrying. This last piece of advice seems to be the simplest, yet for many, the hardest to
follow. Our lives can be consumed with worry, be it in our jobs, family, or finances, but Matthew 6
tells us not to worry about things in our life. God will take care of us and provide for us. We cannot
change what will happen tomorrow at 12 o ’ clock the night before. Let tomorrow worry about itself.
And sleep well tonight!

Do you not know that in a race all the runners
run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a
way as to get the prize. Everyone who
competes in the games goes into strict
training. They do it to get a crown that will
not last, but we do it to get a crown that will
last forever. Therefore I do not run like
someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like
a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to
my body and make it my slave so that after I
have preached to others, I myself will not be
disqualified for the prize.
1 Corinthians 9:24-17
