This document discusses how Gideon was stuck threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from invaders, representing a state of being stuck. It notes that getting stuck and unstuck are both messy processes. When the angel of God appears to Gideon, he calls Gideon a "mighty warrior", addressing him by who he truly is rather than what he is currently doing. However, Gideon responds with doubts and excuses, representing how people often have "buts" when God calls them to their true purpose. The document encourages readers to get up and move forward despite their own doubts or fears.

Editor's Notes
- #3: Chevy chase in vacation only able to turn left´Groundhog day
- #11: Threshing is where you take the wheat you have harvested and you separate the heads from the straw, then you break the heads apart till you have the Kernal and husks then now listen this is important´ here what you do you take the wheat husks and grain and toss it up in the air and the wind blows the chaff away and the kernel which is heavier falls to the ground.You do it so the wind will carry always the Chaff´ There is something fundamentally wrong with what Gideon is doing here´. He is threshing the wheat in a hole!!! He throws it up and there is not wind down there so It fall right back down´ Throw wheat in the air and wheat and husk (repeat 3X)
