My First Awesome Sermon

Shalom, it is an honor to be speaking to you today! I wouldn’t be up here right now if it was not for God Bringing me here to you 3 years ago on a Wednesday night in the parking lot. I wouldn’t be up here if it Wasn’t for David St. Martin baptizing me at Delano Bay. I wouldn’t be up here if it wasn’t for Arlene Crow handing me the book The 7 habits of highly Effective people and telling me “if I don’t see you Preaching between now and 20 years we have a Problem” something like that I can’t remember exactly What she said. I wouldn’t be up here if it wasn’t for Mark Gilman saying “Hutch I can see you on CNN, You need to have a brand name” I thought he was joking at First and maybe he is still but I took it Serious. These past four months I have been on this Positive self confidant streak it has been totally awesome! I got great positive feedback with the Hutch Tribune which got this whole Encouragement cycle going. I wouldn’t be nation wide if it wasn’t for Rhea and Michele Griffith saying I Should have a blog. You get where I’m going with this…We influence One another! , we encourage one Another! “As Iron sharpens Iron so one man sharpens another” That Comes from Proverbs 27:17.

Let’s go for a walk together.
I don’t care who you are, where you come from, your education background, your position in the workforce. You can’t make it in this life without God, family, friends and prayer. There is no way, if someone can prove me wrong I would like to hear about it. But I have proof that these 4 work, I lived it. Galatians 6:2 says this “Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ”.
I looked up burdens in the dictionary to be a official and it says a source of great worry or stress. February of last year. I went to truck driving school it was a 6 month course. When the 6 month came around it was time for my test. It was a bright Saturday morning I was sitting in my truck I was all alone in a vast open parking lot waiting for the instructor to show up. I was so nervous I could feel my truck shaking. The test was made up of 3 parts, pre trip inspection, the driving test, and backing. If I failed at any one of these I had to take the whole test over. I failed the pre trip inspection I was doing well until I got in the cab and messed up on my air brakes. I had to get a 100 percent on this. I called my parking brake my trailer brake I got my colors messed up… stupid red button. I had to wait another week. I wasn’t a happy camper that day. I told myself I’m giving up. Thursday came along and I went to Bob and Theresa’s for bible study. No one showed up it was just Bob and I. It was a good conversation between friends. I told him can we pray for my test on Saturday. I felt better after we prayed. When I was driving home that night I was motivated, I looked back on my life on how I got to school in the first place. I landed a 5000 dollar scholarship working for the Washington State Conversation Corps for a year. I was put on a crew of 6 working for the Olympic National Park in the mountains. I wanted to quit during the first 3 months but I stuck with it. In the end it taught me character, a better work ethic and what the American Dream is. I worked in the snow, rain, and hiked long miles, almost cut my foot off with a chainsaw. I almost went falling off a mountain, and a tree in Texas. I got lost for 11 hours in the mountains with nothing on me. I was thinking about all of this and I was going to give up just for naming a button wrong. On top of that I might have had to wait until July subtract 5 months from July you get February for you college people.



When I got home I sent out an email for prayers. I showed up Saturday and aced my test. When I felt my license in my hand it was one the coolest days of my life!
At the beginning of this month I took my HAZMAT endorsement for my CDL. In my opinion it is the most intense out of all the other endorsements. There is a lot of boring stuff that I had to study. I finally got focused after putting it off for almost 8 months. I studied everyday for a week and prayed to my Maker. Thursday night I sent out a prayer request for more support for my test. I showed up Sat morning confidant, with a positive attitude and aced it. When I was studying and when I was at work I got my self motivated, I pictured in my mind me passing my HAZMAT and driving a tanker. The test was easy, it was not that hard, actually it was common sense. Almost every question repeated itself. Positive attitude and positive thinking along with God and friends does go along way.
Mark told me that church is like a hospital for our spiritual health I never thought it like that. That’s awesome. These past 3 years I have learned what friendship is all about. I don’t come from a Christian family you guys are my family. Families stick together. It says in Proverbs 28:13. “He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” I was living and telling you a lie for the past 3 years. Most of you know of my confession I’m not going to repeat it because I’m still not at peace with myself. It was eating my soul and I was tired of running. The night before my confession I was having a war with my conscious. I’m going to be talking in the third person I’m not a skitsofrentic. The good Hutch and the bad Hutch were trading jabs. The good Hutch was saying their not going to stone you. I think that they wouldn’t be that upset. Then the bad Hutch started talking mess you need to find another church or leave town. I was looking online at churches… I was a moron. Then the good Hutch said if they are truly your friends they would show compassion and not leave you. So I wrote my confession and went to sleep. I rolled up to church turned my engine off and sat their for a couple of minutes. The Hutch’s were still fighting, the bad Hutch said “you can leave now, or don’t say anything and pretend nothing happen”. I looked out my window and stared at our church steeple the sun was reflecting its rays off of it. I told myself I’m going for it. I got out and walked slowly I handed my note to Mark. Then I broke down in front of a couple of guys. I came back in sat between Bob and Dee my “grandparents”. As Mark was reading my confession I held onto Dees hand actually I think I was squeezing it. I was waiting for people to start jumping like monkeys and start tossing chairs around. They didn’t they gave me hugs. They never left.

I believe it’s a good idea to share goals with your friends and family. I found out that Goals means Godly objectives assure lasting success. In January I read this book called Over The Top by Zig Ziglar. It changed my life. It got me more motivated at my faith, work and relationships. Basically it was the groundwork for the Hutch Tribune. It talks about being content in what you have. It defines what you think about success not a worldly one. It talks about helping and encouraging people. In January I told my fellowship group and other people that I was going to quit drinking. That I was taking a break. When I say drinking I mean partying. I still have a beer once in awhile. I quit hanging out with my friends who were partying. People checked up on me and asked me how I was doing. They encouraged me. I found out that achieving goals is hard but it is also easy if you have support. Anyways that month I had no alcohol. God, the spirit took over my body, and every thing changed. This wave of positive self confidant energy came over me. I have been riding it ever since. There are days that I stumble and I get negative vibes. God has been blessing me. I got offered a promotion at my work but I turned it down because I would have to transfer stores and I like working with the crew I have now. Plus I’m not going to be at West Bay forever. I moved into a bigger place, I’m no longer living in a 25 foot villa on wheels. I can walk to my bathroom. I have cool friends, an awesome family, clothes on my back and a meal to eat every night. I believe that when I changed things changed for the better. A lot of doors have been opening and God willing I’m looking for the journey ahead.

I will leave you with this awesome poem.

We need each other...
In times of private pain, of fear and stress

We need each other...
to share our joys, our times of happiness

We need each other...
to hold on and be strong, and encourage when things are going wrong

We need each other...
to keep the faith and love, and remind each other of all the things we're dreaming of

We need each other... now and always.
Thank you God Bless you I love you.

Sweet

This week has been totally awesome actually these 2 weeks have been a blast! My new pad is almost done. It is bigger than my 27 foot villa on wheels. I finally passed my HAZMAT for my CDL. I just got offered a job promotion at my work but I turned it down because I would have to transfer to another store. And the new store that I would go to, the management is bad and the people their don't look happy. I like where I'm at right now. I couldn't stand for 9 hrs selling parts. But what is cool about this is that I got noticed by the higher up guys. I always try to smile at work somedays it is hard. But when you smile it confuses people "why is that person smiling about" I will tell you why. This is America the Land Of Opportunity. Immigrants came over and said Gosh! this place is full of opportunity here! I have been blessed with a place over my head, I have clothes on my back, a meal to eat every night, a warm bed to sleep on, and a job that I get to go to every morning. Thats why I smile all the times. Because God has been good to me. I'm wealthier than most people in other parts of the world and I don't make that much. I'm telling you a smile, postive attitude, stay busy at work does go along way. Be obediant to God also comes in handy cause when I obey him he starts opening doors for me. God is awesome even when I'm in darkness of despair. I have so much to be thankful for. Doors are starting to open up for me.

Determination

Vol 5

Shalom, God has blessed us with another beautiful day. To work for the Kingdom we need to have determination. This is a struggle for me just like the other topics I have been writing about.

Let’s go for a walk together…

Determination.

Saturday I woke up and I thought there was woodcutting but I couldn’t get a hold of anyone. So I went out to do some errands for my pad and buy some clothes. I was in Silverdale and just out of JC Penny. I felt like doing something creative to rekindle my youth I went out looking for a model airplane. I first went to Joann’s they had nothing, then I walked over to Rite Aide, I walked in and looked for the aisle but couldn’t find it. The lady at the front asked me if I needed help, I told her I was looking for a model airplane. She had a look of confusion and strangeness to her. She most of thought I was from another place and time. She said she didn’t think so. I looked around anyway found nothing. So then I went to Toys R Us and imagined this place as hell. Awful colors everywhere, kids running around, I got out of their quick. Again I was stopped at the front. The lady asked me “can I help you find something?” “A model airplane” I told her. She was cute and her hair was bright red, she had a look of angels. “We don’t carry those, sorry, good luck with your search” “thanks” I said with a smile. I walked out and stood their trying to think of a reason to go back in there to talk to her. I didn’t I wanted this stupid model airplane. I got in my truck and headed north to Highway 3 to the Super Wal-Mart in Poulsbo. This place had rednecks everywhere! My type of people I tell you what. I went in and found no model airplanes. I walked out by this time I was hungry and I haven’t ate anything. I went to Mc Donald’s to get some grub. The drive threw line was backed up so I went inside. The inside was crowded as well, ahhh! I screamed loud to myself. I ordered me a milkshake to calm my nerves and get me motivated for my quest. I jumped back onto Highway 3 back to Silverdale. My last stop was Michaels and it was getting down to the wire. The parking lot was an obstacle course people parked their rigs out in the middle of the lanes. I parked and got out. I walked in and I found my model airplane. As I was walking out some lady driving a blue mustang almost clipped me. Great I said to myself after all this trouble of getting this I’m going to get hit. It would have been a glorious death.

The prophet Hosea had a weird calling. Gomer his wife, left him to become a prostitute, God commanded Hosea to love and watch over her as she pursued her heathen desires. Hosea had to suffer the humiliation of his wife getting busy with other men. She even ended up selling herself into slavery. Still Hosea followed his wife around, secretly taking care of her, paying for her needs from behind the scenes; he even bought her back after she became a slave. Hosea’s life became a reflection of God’s undying and self-sacrificing love to Israel, and ultimately to us. The prophet’s determination to love no matter the cost demonstrates just shows how endless God’s love is for you and me. God gave him the strength to rise above their circumstances and he will do the same for us. We need only trust in Him for true power, resolve, and grace.

Well there you have it, I believe that these walks that we went on will benefit your works with God and help you as a person. I’m moving on to other things which I don’t have a clue. God willing, I’m going to wander threw the wilderness to see what He has in store for me. It is going to be a long trip full of sorrow, pain, death, happiness, love, honor… redemption. God bless you, I love you and may he bless you in whatever you do. 08 is looking great!

Shalom,

Hutcharooski

Awesome creation baby!

I took these cool pictures when I was trying be pro picture guy at Pac Beach last weekend, I didn't even realized that the bird was in the picture!

Real men cry and if you don't your a wuss.

Last weekend I went to a men's fellowship that Charles Summers hosted. Only a certain few were selected. The topic was about evangelising to benefit the Kingdom. It was deep and you could feel the bond that each of us had. I could feel it deep in my soul. On Saturday night we had prayer requests and everyone shared what was on their heart. A couple of men cried an opened up and shared their thoughts. These men were tough guys too, it was awesome. Real men cry and if you don't then your a wuss. I was in shock because some of these guys were really strong warriors. I broke down before my confession to the church was said. I cried in front of some strong dudes. David and Jesus cried.

"As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes."-Luke 19:41-42. Our Maker of Heaven and Earth who made the rushing rivers of life, cried! A Man who was crucified on the cross and washed our sins in blood, cried! The reason Jesus wept was that his patience was no more. He would bless them no more. He would destroy everything and pick people off. It was death upon death all because they did not know that this was the True Messiah. What a bunch of fools! They would not receive Him. They rejected Him. They crucified Him.

Just Work, Just Work

"All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty."-Proverbs 14:23

"He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty."-Proverbs 28:19

I love my job, I get paid to sit on my butt to deliver parts to businesses. I get to talk to people everyday and BS. I don't sit in a cubicle all day, I love it! I don't make that much, I thank God every night for blessing me with work. I bust my hump at work, I'm always staying busy. I try to have a Christ like attitude at work but I struggle. My co-workers like working me with me, I get a lot of compliments about my performance. My co-workers are cool (besides a couple) they make work fun! One of my managers told me that I could work hard as long as I want to but it wouldn't matter because they wouldn't pay me more. He didn't mean anything wrong with that all he was saying was that our company is tight with their money. I'm not in it for the money I'm just their to support myself.

Montgomery Gentry says in their song "something To Be Proud Of" you don't have to make million just be thankful to be working. 2 years ago when I was working for the Conservation Corps in the Olympic National Park. I was making not that much, I was doing hard manual labor but it had benefits to it. My crew and I made some cool stuff and did some traveling. I made some close bonds. This job was only for a year and it was the coolest! In the beginning I was lazy and in the end my character and work ethic was stronger. I believe that if you work hard you will be a success. Colin Powell started sweeping floors and later became Sectary of State! I have a co-worker who is a slacker and everyone notices it. I want to cuss him out and put my foot in his you know what. But I just ignore it. I always try to put myself first at my job, and people are starting to rely on me more which is cool, I learned something new today at work! It was just a small easy topic but it was awesome to me!

So I remind myself every morning it is all meaningless in the end, I don't need to make million, a big house, drive a Ferrari, and order a latte cream non-fat mocha french vallina coffe black grande. I just need to work to survive. And God willing I want to make a sucessful life for myself.

Hello, I'm a sinner.

I have stolen things, deceived people, snorted cocaine, been drunk way too many times, committed adultery, been to strip clubs, and walked out on people. All of this when I'm saved, How about you?



"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. Because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace."-Romans 6:1-14.

I stand in awe of God right their. This scripture means more to me, now more than ever. God's love for us is amazeing, we die and given another chance at life. Everyday is a new day, yesterday is history. On 3/2/08 I died and started living finally! We are going to be found out sooner or later. Me, I was tired of running, I confessed to the church, the only friends that I have. I thought they would not want anything to do with me. The night before I was looking at churches. I'm a moron! With open arms they loved me and they never left. This sin of deception that I was living was tearing my soul. I had enough, I risked it all and asked God's mercy on me as I told my confession. Eveyday is a beautifal day my friends. 08 is looking great!
