MAX Insurance and IHT Insurance Agency donate to Newly Formed Boy Scout Troop 364

(NELSONVILLE, OH) – Starting a Boy Scout Troop takes time, planning, volunteers and equipment. Thanks to a grant from MutualAid eXchange (“MAX”) Insurance and its agency partner, IHT Insurance Agency of Nelsonville, Boy Scout Troop 364 of First United Methodist Church of Nelsonville can purchase startup supplies necessary for the beginnings of their new troop.

David Loge of IHT Insurance Agency requested funding from MAX Insurance to help purchase some of the supplies Troop 364 needs to become an active troop. “Scouting is an opportunity for youth 5^th grade through age 18 to not only experience the outdoors, but practice good citizenship and learn leadership skills that will help them succeed throughout their life,” Loge said. “Several items are necessary to start a new troop such as tents, flags, a trailer, etc. and this grant will definitely be put to good use to purchase some of these items which will help the troop get off to a good start.”

Loge is an independent insurance agent representing MAX Insurance in his community and surrounding areas. MAX Insurance of Overland Park, KS, is a unique fair, faithful and socially responsible insurance enterprise.

MAX Mindfulness: Which Channel Are You Watching?

by Dave Wine, President & CEO

Life offers up a huge variety pack of experiences, options, challenges, and situations. If we want to experience any sense of peace and contentment within this myriad of “stuff”, we need to find ways to focus on and take responsibility for our thoughts. No thing, no person, no situation has the power in and of themselves/itself to take away our peace – it is our thoughts ABOUT the context that create our emotions. And we own the controls!

One helpful thing for me is imagining I am sitting in front of a TV set watching my life. It has two channels. One is called Love and the other Fear. As my life unfolds I can choose which channel I want to view my life on. Do I want to watch my life through the Fear channel or the Love channel. Regardless of the situation, those are the two channels I can choose, and, in choosing, it makes all the difference in my peace of mind and ability to focus on the moment at hand. I can choose the Fear channel and let all my fears and regrets dominate. And boy, sometimes I am really immersed in that channel. Or I can switch to the Love channel and ask things like, “how would Love see this?” “how would Love depict this scene in my life?” “what would Love do?”, etc.

You can choose to name your channels whatever is most helpful. I use different words – they all can mean the same thing. Love/Fear; God/Ego; Trust/Despair; Christ/Pain. The key is to use the names that will resonate most for you and help remind you in the moment to choose which channel you are going to watch.
