F3 Message 10/12/19 – Q spoke about a recent meeting where he had not exercised the best patience and professionalism. In fact, it was quite a flashback to the “old man” that he thought he had left behind. The following word from Ron Hutchcraft Ministries was shared with all attending PAX, but was still ringing in Q’s ear from his recent “Volcanic Eruption”.
Volcano Scars
When you’re angry, you’re probably a lot like a volcano. You erupt, spew out your lava, and often blow away a piece of the other person, if not yourself.
Every one of us carries around parts of us that
have been mortally wounded by something someone said to us in anger. They may
have forgotten it, but we can’t ever forget it because those create volcano
scars. Why do we do this to other people and usually the people we love the
most?
Proverbs 12:18 says, “Reckless words pierce like a sword.”
That’s the awesome power of our angry, irresponsible words. Proverbs 18:21 says that “The tongue has the power of life and
death.” We can say things that make a person feel more alive or that make
them feel dead inside. You’ve had it happen to you, haven’t you?
The Bible pays a high tribute to a person who’s
under control. Proverbs 16:32 says, “Better a patient man than a warrior, a
man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.” That’s real
manhood.
If you’re tired of erupting and leaving volcano
scars on people, maybe it’s time to follow the steps to becoming an extinct
volcano:
Confess your anger and
your reckless words as the sin that they really are. Bring it to Jesus’ cross
and treat it as some of the ugly sin that literally killed our Savior. Then
confess it to the victims of your anger.
Don’t let the lava
build up; deal with issues right away.
Make yourself listen
and ask questions before you speak. James 1:19 says, “Be quick to listen, slow to speak and
slow to become angry.” If you listen, you’ll be slower to have anger.
Don’t say anything at
all until you’re under control.
Make Jesus Christ the
Lord of the raging animal inside you. We’ve all got one. That’s the
uncontrollable parts of us that are constant reminders that we need a Savior.
Give it to Him for this new day. If volcanoes could think, maybe they’d think twice about blowing their top. The volcano might reason, “You know, maybe I’ll feel better for a while, but is it worth blowing away a part of myself? Is it worth blowing away a part of a person I love?” Well, when we think about it, we know it’s not worth it. The tongue has the power of life and death and “reckless words pierce like a sword.” Haven’t we left enough volcano scars?

Pax completed the Hindenburg BLIMPS routine from the Exicon. Q had brought this routine in the past during a weekly 45 minute workout, and time did not allow us to finish. So….we started all over….We modified the sprint portion to a straight line between four light poles that were approx. .02 miles apart. Sprint to pole #1, perform exercise at pole #1, sprint to pole #2, perform exercise, sprint to pole #3, perform exercise. Then to pole #4, perform exercise. Plank it up until all PAX are in. That completes one round. Reverse directions and perform the second exercise working back through the 4 poles. Round #1 – 10 Burpees. Round #2 – 20 Lunges (10 each leg). Round #3 – 30 Imperial Walkers. Round #4 – 40 Merkins. Round #5 – 50 Plank Jacks. Round #6 – 60 Squats. We modified the merkin round down to 20 at each pole, but picked them back up at 4 waypoints as we moseyed the .47 miles back to the Aegis.
Excellent cherry pie and fellowship (2nd F) was enjoyed at the coffeteria at Baxter Farms immediately following the beatdown. We all love Quattro’s Grandmother, and hope that we get invited back…….Quattro isn’t so bad either as he cuts a very generous slice….:)….
F3 message 09/28/19 –The 3rd F was shared from Ron Hutchcraft Ministries after completing round #4.
Good Wood – #6657
Now,
if I said I was going to give you the great secrets of hitting a baseball, I
don’t think you’re going to go right out and try them. You’re going to be
skeptical, and you should be. But if one of the game’s greatest hitters were to
tell you the secret of hitting a baseball, well now you should pay attention.
Pete
Rose actually was one of those, and he was once interviewed for an article in
Sports Illustrated, and I like the title. It’s called Good Wood. And he said
that he liked a heat-treated bat. Now, I didn’t realize this, but he said that
you put the bat through an intense heat and that the heat would seal the pores
and it actually made the bat hit harder. Well, it worked for him! I guess it’s
true, heat-treated bats hit harder. Well, you know something? So do
heat-treated people.
I’m
Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Good
Wood.”
Now,
our word for today from the Word of God is found in Romans 5:3-4, and it talks about, well, heat treating. Here we go. “We,
also, rejoice in our sufferings because we know suffering produces
perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope.” Those are
curious words. “We rejoice in our suffering?” This doesn’t mean that
Christian suffering feels any better than non-Christian suffering. It doesn’t.
It feels about the same, whether you’re a Christian or not. But if you’re a
believer, pain is just as painful, unemployment is just as demoralizing, and
pressure is just as stressful.
But
you rejoice, not because it feels better, you rejoice because in Christ, pain
has a point. A minus can be made into a plus. Suffering can be made into
perseverance, character and hope. Just ask Pete Rose’s bat. He said that heat
heals up the holes in the bat and makes it more solid. Well, could it be that
the heat that you’re undergoing right now is heat-treating you and the holes in
your life are being healed up by it and you’re becoming more solid because of
it? The heat you’re feeling is not to burn you up, even though it feels like
you might not make it through it. It’s to make you strong; to build into you
great perseverance, great character, great hope.
Right
now you are in a position to learn more about the resources of God than any
person who’s in a comfortable setting. Sure you’d like to be comfortable again.
I hope you will be. Sure you’d like this insecurity, this pain to pass. But
right now you have a chance to know the resources, and the power, and the grace
of God more deeply than you and those around you perhaps have ever known. You
are learning, or you can learn, how to wait, how to overcome, how to really,
urgently, desperately pray.
Perhaps
you’re being forced to close up some of the holes in your life; weaknesses,
un-confessed sin, broken relationships that have been called to your attention
by this hard time. Things you might not have given attention to any other way.
And you can, because of the fire, be forced to deal with the weaknesses that
you might otherwise still tolerate. And when you do, you have added a new kind
of strength.
The
fire turns spiritual wimps into spiritual warriors. So, rejoice as you see what
you are becoming or can become through heat-treating, and only through
heat-treating. You are becoming a heavy hitter in the hands of Almighty God.

Third F: I shared with the PAX my FEELINGS. The M and I have been going through some home dynamics changes in a very short period of time. Empty Nesting BIG TIME!! Our two oldest 2.0s have been engaged. They both just bought their first houses with their Fiancés. Seeing the empty room at our house has been bitter sweet. These are steps we prepared them for as best we could; but I don’t think we prepared ourselves. It’s been a crazy emotion month for my M and I. A lot of laughs, memories, tears………I’ve been staying strong for the family. I’ve been that shoulder a HIM needs to be for his M and 2.0s. But it hasn’t allowed me to release emotion that I’ve had bottled. Saturday PAX was that outlet for me and I thank you!!!!!

WHETSTONE (Q1.8) March 31, 2019 by Dancing Idiot.
A man must be sharpened like a knife blade. Both a man and a knife are made to cut, but neither can be effective until properly honed. A knife is sharpened by a whetstone. While water is used to lubricant the whetstone prior to sharpening, that is not where the “whet” part comes from. To whet actually means to sharpen, like with a man’s appetite and curiosity. In other words, to whet both blade and man is to put on an edge, with a result that is sharp, dynamic, and ready to cut. The unsharpened man is dull and lethargic, in-effective as a leader and I’ll-prepared for the obstacles he will face in his life.
Just as a man’s appetite for pure food must be whetted, so must his appetite for the heavy responsibility that comes with leadership. The HIM acts as the stone to the younger man’s blade, providing the hard surface against which he becomes sharper and whetting his appetite for greater responsibility.
Through the whetstone, the blade receives something he lacked before, a honed edge to his life that he must posses to be effective and have impact on his community. But the stone gets something as well. In fulfilling his natural desire to pour into younger men he accelerates his own pursuit of proper personal alignment.
