Pax moseyed to the Georgetown Firehouse to complete a Mike Tyson set of 7’s in the back parking lot utilizing a bear crawl to traverse the distance between the station wall and a set of parking bumpers. Pax completed 1 Mike Tyson at the wall and bear crawled across to the parking bumpers to complete 6 Mike Tyson’s, then bear crawled back to the wall for 2 Mike Tyson’s and back to parking bumpers for 5 Mike Tyson’s. Rinse and repeat until the number of evolutions was reversed from where it began.
Pax moseyed back to the County Building Parking Lot.

There I was, digging out the sweaters again, turning up the thermostat, and hoping the weatherman was wrong about snow and ice.
But, I had no right to gripe. That year, some cities ran out of salt for their streets, were “whomped” with storm after storm, and some places even got mountains and mountains of snow.
If you moved to one of those snow-swamped places, it would be easy to say, “It’s always going to be winter. This much snow is never going to melt. It’s just going to keep coming.”
But nope. It won’t always be winter. There’s hope. And hope has a name – spring. No matter how high the snowdrifts are, how endless the parade of winter storms, spring always comes. And that helps me grasp just what that precious word “hope” is all about.
Hope-less means things can never change. But hope means things you’ve never been able to change can change because hope has a name. His name is Jesus. He’s the One of whom the Bible says in Hebrews 6:19, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”
As a follower of Jesus, I can be – for the hope-starved people around me – living proof that He could change what I could never change. Because of Jesus, a parent can change. A husband or wife can change. A family can change. Because of Jesus, a temper can change, a life of depression, or a fear of death. Jesus changes control freaks, chronic worriers, fearful people, and people who have always been defined by their pain.
There’s a magnet in us that attracts people to our Jesus. It’s not our beliefs, the meetings we go to, the bad things we don’t do. It’s our hope. The Bible says folks will want to know “the reason for the hope you have” (1 Peter 3:15).
When you meet Jesus, you experience the ultimate makeover miracle: “If anyone is in Christ,” the Bible says, “he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). So we have hope to give! Hope of Jesus changing our dark side, our fears, our relationships, our eternity.
The most powerful tool I have to open a heart to Jesus is my story – my Hope Story. Because what people want to know about Jesus is, “What difference does He make?” Your Hope Story tells about how your stressful times are different because of Jesus – and your lonely times, your sad times, your wounded times. The difference Jesus makes when there’s bad news from the doctor, when your family’s in chaos, when the one you were counting on walks out the door, or when you stand by the casket of the one you love.
People can argue with your beliefs. They can’t argue with your Hope Story. Once you were “blind.” Now you “can see.” The only explanation is Jesus.
I always want to be looking for natural opportunities to share some part of how my life is different because of Jesus. As you listen to a person’s story, the door opens for you to tell your story. And how His story – His dying for you – has changed your story and could change theirs forever. I am, and all my spiritual brothers and sisters are, living proof that it doesn’t always have to be winter.
Spring comes when Jesus comes. And maybe you’ve never experienced that hope for yourself. Today Jesus stands ready to give you the new beginning that your heart is hungry for. I’d love to introduce you to Him and help you know how to get started with Him. If you’d like to learn more about how to get started with Jesus, I encourage you to head to ANewStory.com. It’s time for spring.

As our kids were growing up, Saturday was always chore day at the Hutchcraft house. It was the day we got our leaves raked and bagged, rooms got cleaned – or hosed out like a monkey cage – it was the day the garage got dug out, the dirty clothes got clean, broken things got fixed, you know. Now it wasn’t that kids jumped out of bed on Saturday morning saying, “What do you have for me to do today, Dad?” No, Saturday mornings often involved some delicate labor negotiations – especially when it came to someone getting a job that meant more time and more dirty work than some of the others. That child might say, “I don’t want to do Job A. I want Job B.” To which I would reply, “I pay the allowances and the bonuses around here. (See, usually there was extra pay for extra work). Don’t forget lesson #1 of working – you don’t pick your jobs. The person who pays you decides the jobs you’ll do.”
Well, I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You about “The Jobs We Don’t Want To Do.”
Now our word for today from the Word of God comes from Acts 10, where Simon Peter is being assigned by His boss to do an unpleasant chore. Peter has been preaching Christ to Jewish audiences who knew the Scriptures and respected God’s laws. Now, God wants Peter to now reach out to go to the house of Cornelius, a Roman military leader, to reach out to this Gentile. Now Peter’s lifelong feeling about Gentiles could be summed up in one word – “yuck!” They didn’t know the Bible; they ate what the Jewish law called unclean foods; they lived outside God’s laws. Well, God sends Peter a vision to prepare him for this job he is not going to want to do. It’s a vision of a sheet with animals that Peter, as a Jew, considers unclean to eat.
Acts 10:13 – “Then a voice told him, ‘Get up, Peter, Kill and eat.’ ‘Surely not, Lord!’ Peter replied. ‘I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.’ The voice spoke to him a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’ This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.” Well, immediately Peter finds at his door men who have come to invite him to the house of Cornelius, the Gentile. The Bible says, “Peter said to the men, ‘I’m the one you’re looking for’…Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests.” And the next day he’s off to meet Cornelius.
God gave Peter a job he really didn’t want to do. But Peter knew who the Boss was, and that the One who pays you decides the job you’ll do. Peter obeyed, and it led to some amazing results. Now maybe God has given you an unpleasant chore, and you’re balking, just like my kids on a Saturday morning.
It could be God is leading you to befriend a person who isn’t very attractive, who may be pretty demanding. Or the assignment may be to share Christ with someone who isn’t much fun to be around or is hard to talk to; or to minister to a group of people that you find irritating or even repulsive; possibly to work closely with someone who is definitely not your type. Whatever the job you don’t feel like doing, tell the Lord your reservations – like Peter. Then go ahead and do it anyway – like Peter. And like Peter, you’ll probably get some important results – in what it will do for them and how it will grow you.
I’m really glad Jesus doesn’t just hang around with people who are His type – you and I wouldn’t stand a chance. No, He will reward you generously for doing the unpleasant chores, the ones that will stretch you. So if your Lord is giving you a job you don’t want to do, will you trust His judgment over yours? Then start on it today without delay. It is an assignment Jesus has been preparing for you long before today. Believe me, doing what the Boss says to do will pay off!

3rd F The Competitor’s Creed
I am a Christian first and last. I am created in the likeness of God Almighty to bring Him glory. I am a member of Team Jesus Christ. I wear the colors of the cross.
I am a Competitor now and forever. I am made to strive, to strain, to stretch and to succeed in the arena of competition. I am a Christian Competitor and as such, I face my challenger with the face of Christ.
I do not trust in myself. I do not boast in my abilities or believe in my own strength. I rely solely on the power of God. I compete for the pleasure of my Heavenly Father, the honor of Christ and the reputation of the Holy Spirit.
My attitude on and off the field is above reproach – my conduct beyond criticism. Whether I am preparing, practicing or playing; I submit to God’s authority and those He has put over me. I respect my coaches, officials, teammates and competitors out of respect for the Lord.
My body is the temple of Jesus Christ. I protect it from within and without. Nothing enters my body that does not honor the Living God. My sweat is an offering to my Master. My soreness is a sacrifice to my Savior.
I give my all – all of the time. I do not give up. I do not give in. I do not give out. I am the Lord’s warrior – a competitor by conviction and a disciple of determination. I am confident beyond reason because my confidence lies in Christ. The results of my efforts must result in His glory.
LET THE COMPETITION BEGIN. LET THE GLORY BE GOD’S

One of the amusing sides of Christmas is people shopping in departments they never otherwise shop in – generally clueless. Let me give you an example that I can relate to – men shopping in the ladies clothing department. Oh, we’re a mess. Now, if you need a good laugh; you’re feeling a little down, you ought to go to the ladies garment department somewhere; especially the more personal the item is, the funnier it is to watch men shopping. They’re slightly embarrassed, generally incompetent at what they’re doing, and it’s very important if you’re going to go shopping for a woman during the Christmas season that you get the woman’s size: your wife, your mother, your sister, your girlfriend, or whatever. And you trust that the tags are right, of course, on the size. You know that a small had better be a small, because you don’t know anything. A large had better be a large. Now, you want to know how to sow some confusion and have some fun? (Don’t anybody do this, please.) Imagine if someone snuck into that store late one night and just changed the tags around. Well, people would make a lot of wrong choices, all because the sizes were wrong. Now, that doesn’t happen to clothes, but it does happen to people, and it takes the Christmas Story to straighten out small and large.
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “How Christmas Rightsizes the World.”
Our word for today from the Word of God is found in Luke 1:52-53. Mary is pregnant; she’s carrying the baby Jesus, and we get a little idea of the insight God has given her as she prays this prayer, what is often called The Magnificat. She says, “God has brought down rulers from their thrones, but He has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things, but He has sent the rich away empty.”
You know, Mary has the right sizes on the right people. She has the smalls on the small, and the bigs on the big. You see, the world would call these the big people – those people who are called rulers and rich. But she says, “the rulers have been brought down. The rich have been sent away empty.” God’s heroes – the people the world calls small. They’re identified as the humble, who He lifts up, and the hungry, who He fills up.
You see, what is a big deal to men is a little deal to God – big deal like money, gifts, title, fame. That’s a little deal to God. Conversely, what’s a little deal to men: “You don’t have much money. You don’t have much influence. Not many people know you. You’re average.” See, that’s a big deal to God. You hear people say all the time, “Well, I’m just a… I’m just a student. I’m just a mother. I’m just a secretary. I’m just a helper. I’m just a Sunday school teacher. I’m just a laborer. It’s just a small church. It’s just a little class. I’m just a choir member.” With God, there are no “just a’s,” not in God’s value system.
Bethlehem, we’re told, was “little among the villages, but out of you (little village) will come the Prince,” Mary, the peasant but the Mother of God’s Son. Shepherds, the outcasts of their society, the first evangelists. I wonder if you have the two qualifications for God’s heroes: humble, which means you are totally depending on the Lord, and hungry, restless to know and serve Him more. God likes to make folks like that big for Him – the humble and the hungry.
Remember to give attention to the people others ignore. They’re the big people to God – children, the poor, the powerless. Oh, by the way, don’t ever call yourself “just a…” again. God does His biggest things through the smallest instruments. Call big what God calls big. Make sure you’ve got the right size.

3rd F “Getting the Edge” “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.” — 1 Corinthians 9:24 Opening Thought Jim Berkman, Salisbury University’s Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach, is the winningest men’s lacrosse coach of all time. His program’s foundation is built on one defining idea: “We are going to out-compete you from the first whistle to the last.” To achieve that level of sustained excellence, Coach Berkman emphasizes “Getting the Edge.” It’s not just about how hard you work during practice, but how committed you are outside of it. The edge comes from the unseen hours — the early mornings, the extra reps, the personal discipline that fuels greatness. Coach Berkman’s players know that when everyone commits to “getting the edge” on their own, the team becomes sharper, stronger, and more competitive together. That’s how practices start to feel like games — because everyone shows up prepared to give their best. Faith Application Now, think about this through the lens of your Christian faith. What if we approached our spiritual life with the same drive to “get the edge”? • Are we putting in the work outside of Sunday morning? • Are we studying God’s Word daily, not just when it’s convenient? • Are we praying regularly, not just when we need something? • Are we training our hearts to respond with grace, truth, and love in every situation? When we do this — when we “get the edge” in our faith — we are better prepared to live boldly for Christ. We become stronger disciples, able to compete for Christ at the highest level when the moment comes to share the gospel or to lead with integrity under pressure. “Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.” — Romans 12:11 “Train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way.” — 1 Timothy 4:7–8 Just like an athlete who trains beyond practice, our faith requires personal investment. The more time we spend with God in private, the more powerful our witness becomes in public. Reflection Questions • What does “getting the edge” look like in your walk with Christ? • How can you invest in your faith outside of Sunday or team devotionals? • Are there “drills” you can commit to daily — prayer, Scripture reading, journaling, or serving others — that sharpen your spiritual edge?

Joshua 6:4-5,20-21 New King James Version (NKJV)
4 And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5 It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.” 20 So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
I had just finished speaking. I was talking with two men, and the subject was manhood and what it really means. In the course of our solving many of the world’s problems, I learned that one of the men had a black belt or its equivalent in three different forms of martial arts. I hired him as my bodyguard. Well, almost. The man has the ability to take control of most any hostile situation – except for one. He told me there is only one position in which a person is totally powerless, no matter how strong or how skilled they are: lying face down on the ground. You’re absolutely powerless there.
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “The Power of Powerlessness.”
When Mr. Black Belt told me about the total vulnerability of being face down on the ground, General Joshua flashed into my mind. That’s Joshua as in the Book of Joshua in the Bible. In fact, there’s a wonderful blueprint for winning life’s unwinnable battles in the account of Joshua’s most powerless moment. It’s recorded in Joshua 5, beginning with verse 13, and it’s our word for today from the Word of God.
Joshua is leading the Jews into the Promised Land that God has said He would give to them. But immediately, they come upon this massive, seemingly impregnable city; the walls are looming toward the sky. It’s the world’s oldest city, Jericho. There’s no way Joshua’s going to breach those walls with anything he knows how to do. You know what? You may be facing one of those “Jerichos” in your life right now, where the size of the challenge is a lot greater than the resources you have.
So, this one’s for you. Joshua 5 says, “When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and he saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword. Joshua went up to him and asked, ‘Are you for us or for our enemies?’ ‘Neither,’ he replied, ‘but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.’ Then Joshua fell face down to the ground in reverence, and asked him, ‘What message does my Lord have for His servant?'”
Here’s Joshua, the man who has never lost a battle, going face down on the ground in the most powerless position a man can be in. I don’t think Joshua ever surrendered to anyone. But standing before the Commander of the Army of the Lord, he falls down in total surrender. Most Bible scholars believe this “Commander” is actually the Son of God making one of His pre-Bethlehem appearances in the Old Testament.
Face down before Jesus. Could that be where He wants you right now? Maybe that’s the only way you’re ever going to conquer your Jericho; the only way you’re ever going to have peace. When Joshua surrendered, God gave him the miracle plan that pulverized the walls of Jericho. The issue wasn’t really the conquest of Jericho; it was the conquest of Joshua. The issue in your life really isn’t the conquest of your impossible challenge; it’s the conquest of you. It sometimes takes a “Jericho” to level some of us Joshuas.
It could be that you’ve given Jesus everything: your talent, your time, your money, your service; everything but one thing. Control. It’s still my way, my will, my agenda, my plans, my timing. There’s someone or something that you’re still holding tightly in your hands, and you’re afraid or you’re unwilling to surrender control. And, consequently, your Jerichos will remain standing.
The most powerful position in the world is powerlessness. The secret of peace; the secret of the release of God’s power into your situation is total surrender. At that point, He will commit all His forces to the battles in front of you. To finally surrender is to finally win.
