Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Please remember that for a full view of the CUP go to FGGAM.ORG!
May God Bless you and yours this day and all days!
It has been a very busy day of ministry.
Me and Buffy and Reno just returned from Edgewood!
The Father’s day Car Show is this Sunday at Wal-Mart in Edgewood and FGGAM is blessed to be one of the sponsors. I will not be able to be there as I will be preaching God’s Word at the Reserve Baptist Church. Our prizes will be awarded by the Founder and Pastor of the show Tony Jaramillo. We are giving away many Charles Stanley books and one of my most popular sermons “Use Your God Given Talents”. I humbly say, that many have told us that this sermon really motivated them in our Lord!
Get you Car Show T-Shirts now for $15.00 at the show $20.00. They are available right now at Tony’s Service Center in Edgwood, there going like hotcakes! The Father’s Day mugs will be given away as prizes and will also be for sale.
We were very busy preparing our prizes today.
I want to stress to all of you that we have too many children not growing up with a Dad in the house. One of the goals we have here at FGGAM is to help keep families together by having our Lord in all homes and hearts. Father’s Day is very hard for many people. Let us remember all those children that don’t have a father in theier life, for whatever reason. For the family of Marv Boone, it will be a hard day, as Marv passed away a few months ago. I talked to the wife of Marv, Shirley, yesterday and she said kids, even thou they are all adults, are already having a hard time with Father’s day upon us.
Tony Dungy, a leading christian man, former NFL coach, says his father taught him never to complain. (I needed those words today!) His father modeled the responsibility of his manhood despite opposition. He taught Tony to take care of business as best as you can with the resources that you have. he never asked Tony or the other students to skip over the reality that segregation and racism were an injustice, but he didn’t want them spending all their time focusing on what they couldn’t change rather that on being responsible for what they could.
Lord Willing more on father’s Day on Friday!
The other day and I had a talk with a young man that said, “I never could bring children into this world.” Today Adrian Rogers addresses that….

Should We Bring Children Into Such A Chaotic World?

This post by one of the most Godly women I know, Shonda Savage, hit a grandslam………..

My friends, I must thank you for your kind words of encouragement, emotional support, and prayers. As I share about our family’s unexpected journey of having a son convicted and sentenced to prison, at times I become emotionally drained. Then the physical exhaustion sets in.
After my son’s sentencing, my world fell apart.
All the months leading up to the trial, our son’s attorney showed us information that he could prove my son did not participate in the horrible tragedy that happened that night. I believed in the justice system. I believed that God would work out all things for good using this system. But there in lies the problem — I placed my faith in the system, not in God.

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life” (Proverbs 13:12 NIV).

My hope was deferred. My heart was sick to the point I could barely function in the months following my son’s conviction and transfer to the state penitentiary. Life became dark for me.
I still loved God. I hid myself away to spend time with Him. I told Him I trusted Him, but I no longer trusted people or systems. Eventually, with passage of time, I started socializing again. A little here and there. The Lord began to build my confidence and hope in who He is. I began to know Him on an intimate level that I had never experienced before.
Two years after the tragedy and one year after the sentencing, the Lord impressed on my heart that it was time to “Let go of the old, take hold of the new, and enjoy the ride.” So my husband and I traded in our SUV and purchased a sports car. I’ve never owned a sports car, and thought of them as frivolous purchases. But rationalized that it will be a while before grandchildren will come into my life. So why not?

Then we took a road trip to California, through Arizona, New Mexico, and back to Texas. On that trip, the Lord showed me it was time for me enjoy life. To let go and have fun.
It seemed the darkness lifted and dawn arrived. Light began to breakthrough. Following that trip, Ipublished a Bible study that I wrote four years prior and taught it at my local church. I experienced the joy of functioning in my calling of writing and speaking.
Then I wrote another Bible study on prayer and taught it. More joy followed.
Then I began to write about our Unexpected Journey here at FGGAM and as I wrote I revisited the troublesome days. The heaviness came back. I struggled with battle against depression and all the negative emotions as if I were actually reliving those days of two years ago.
I trust God and I trust the promises He has given to me. However, emotions are very powerful and they overtook me. But our God is bigger than any of our emotions!
And I thank God for Dewey Moede’s persistent encouragement and prayers. And for others who share their stories here on FGGAM. I received a significant breakthrough when I read the post “I Wasted Time in Drinking and Partying.”
I wrote Dewey and told him, “There are many things I’ve been struggling with, BUT GOD is at work and delivering me. Though alcohol or drugs do not have me bound, I’ve allowed circumstances to keep me from enjoying life. This message convicted me that I’m wasting time and not enjoying the life God has for me.”
The testimony Dewey shared about the Trujillo’s showed me that I’ve been wasting time. God has moved me fully into the light of His Presence. I have the confident assurance He is with me and that HE really wants me to stop wasting time and to enjoy life.
God’s day begins in the evening, when the sun goes down. But then a few hours later the sun comes up and with it the light. That’s the cycle we experience with our Creator, darkness then light. I spent glorious time with the Lord in the darkest of days, but now it is time to live out in the light! It’s a new day.
My friends, if your life seems dark at the moment, it is only for a little while. Even if our circumstances do not unfold as we desire, God will bring the light.

Dear family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Got an email from Jose Vasquez FGGAM Board Member yesterday, that he could not see the pictures on the CUP….Just a reminder always go to FGGAM.ORG and the CUP is in full view there on the front page with all pictures and etc. Among all the dealings we have going on, we are praying to update the email CUP one day! LOL! Please pray for us.
Happy Birthday to Becca, daughter of FGGAM supporters Grace and Peter! Becca is spending her birthday with her best friend in Texas on the farm! Becca turned 19 today and is a shining light for Jesus Christ! I met her when she was just a baby!!!! God Bless you forever and ever Becca!
Thank you all for your comments on yesterday’s post! It was great to hear from folks like Chris Tomlin, (not the singer!!LOL!!) hand not heard from her and Eric in ages! God Bless you both!
I have been brewing this CUP since 3:30am!
My Dear, Dear friend Sonja sent the Girlfriends in God devotional to me, in fact she sends them everyday.she is a loyal friend. It’s posted below, but first……
A true friend is consistent in his or her friendship.
Sonja is a prime example of consistent Godly friendship.
Are you?
I am blessed with many consistent Godly friendships, I pray I do the same to all.
I included this picture of me and Lars from his graduation from Columbia in Chicago. It is the happiest I have ever seen my son. I want to freeze that picture in my mind. I now pray even more for my son that he finds a job. He is in Chicago looking for work, will you pray for him? I am like all parents, we want our children to be happy, successful, great in what they do. His job at the school ended, so he is having to have cash flow, to pay rent, food, etc….His lead professor encouraged Lars to stay in Chicago because of the opportunity’s and connections. I agree. Lars has a few things in the hopper, he is also seeking work at Target, Starbucks and other places to have money coming in and is also interning, non-paid, at a lighting facility, that could turn into a paid position. I freeze that picture in my mind, of that moment of graduation where nothing else mattered, and carry it in my heart and soul, and pray to the Lord that he watches after Lars and lifts him up into the work he is to do.
It is stories like this that are going into the book I am writing at the encouragement of Sharon and friends called, “Chronicles of Hope”, it will be a series of short stories of what I have seen God do in my life and the lives of others, to give this dark world hope in the light of Jesus Christ. ya know what, the writing has begun this time! No false starts this time, God has clearly said to write this series. Plans are for it to be an E-book, and as Sgt. Shultz would say, “I know nothing, I see nothing,” LOL! I know nothing about E-books, but have folks around me that are going to help this old guy!
What is encouraging is that we continue to reach a young demographic at FGGAM.ORG, so with this book we pray to do the same.
When I wrote to you yesterday, the stories of me and my Dad, those will go in the book. I have so many “frozen moments” from my years in Windom.
Frozen moments: like when the kid’s would push me on a little chair, with gliders, that would run smoothly on the tile floors of the school, when I wore a full leg brace and could not walk. Doctor Meridith from the big city of Mankato telling me and my folks, “I don’t think Dwayne will ever walk and run like the other kids” That’s FROZEN in my mind. I will turn 57 on July 4th and I can run and jump, my Doctor says I have perfect health! FROZEN in my mind of what God has done in my life! What if my Mom and Dad would have taken what the Doctor said and said, “Well, it is what it is and we will live with it.” What if I did the same? Instead we prayed to the Lord and sought treatment for this hip disease, and GOD HEALED me! Thank the Lord for my parents and the Doctor’s. We can be told things by Doctor’s and others, but if we are with God, God will take care of it.
I want to add here that my Dad and Mom were alert to this hip disease when I missed a step going down the stairs at the school and then limped for a week. Dr. Harold Basinger took x-rays and then sent me to the big city hospital. A blessing to have alert parents, an alert Doctor. I have a passion for all children to have good parents like I did, that is why I do what I do.
Now maybe you can see where my passion comes from my roots of my parents and my hometown and what God did for me, and continues to do. I want to continue, Lord Willing, to tell the World about God.
I pray this day that this post will inspire you like it did me……

Girlfriends in God

Dear family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Good day to you all! We are praying for you and yours! Amen!
Picture of my Dad, Wally Moede
Thank you for all the notes that you are praying for Joshua…….
It is wonderful that you respond that you are praying! It is an encouragement to the family and really to all of us!!! AMEN!
In case you missed it, this was our call for urgent prayer on Monday afternoon……..
Dear Friends of our Lord Jesus Christ,
This morning on the Daily CUP I shared with you the passing of Kathy Garcia’s niece, Bernadette, who was 34 years old, she suffered an apparent heart attack. She had a heart attack about a month ago. Kathy has asked for prayer for Bernadette’s 14 year old son, Joshua, who found his Mother dead in the bathroom upon his return from and overnight sleep over. Can you even imagine the trauma this little guy is going through? Kathy would like us to pray that the images of finding his Mother be gone from Joshua’s mind, that he gets rest and sleep. I know the trauma my brother Daryl went through years ago, giving our Dad CPR, and having Dad die, all that is still with Daryl to this day.
Let us come together and pray for Joshua, that the visions of his Mother’s death be gone, that he gets much need rest, Thank YOU Lord for being with Joshua and the whole family during this tough time, we pray Lord for a powerful movement of the Holy Spirit over this young man and family, of peace, strength, and the kind of encouragement that only You can bring! In Jesus name, Amen.
More prayer please……..
Hi Dewey,
Hope all is well. I always come to you and FGGAM for prayer, usually before
anyone else. It’s because I trust you and know your heart is in the right place.
You are walking with The Lord and He is with you. How many people can truly say
that?
Anyhow I have been feeling quite run down and stressed out with work.
Frankly, I feel like I can’t do this job any longer but before I do anything in
my own power I’m asking for prayer for healing and strength and VERY clear
guidance on what I should do with my position and what the next step should be.
I appreciate your help. I would like this to be an ongoing prayer request if
possible.
Thanks much!
Love, Ken
Lord, we come to you to pray for Ken, you know what Ken needs before he asks, we pray for Ken a man who loves you with all his heart. Lord we ask that you show Ken the answer to his prayers, that Ken hears you….We pray for rest for Ken a man who serves many people for You. This man needs rest Lord. We pray for even a brighter light over Ken to bring him peace and strength, in Jesus name, Amen.
Thank you for joining us for prayer time.
God Bless you all.
Once again, thanks for the notes that you are praying for Joshua and the family and for ken!
As Father’s Day comes upon us……..I prepare to Preach in Reserve, NM at the Baptist Church and want to share a bit what I will be Preaching……
I am thankful for the father I have in heaven who awaits me in open arms, I am thankful for my earthly father who raised me up to be a Godly man, he also awaits for me in heaven along with my Mom….I will always remember that one year on Dad’s birthday, Flag Day, he bought me my first brand new bike, up until that time we always had used bikes. But that is the kind of Dad I had, he was always putting others before himself.
He even got one that had “newspaper baskets” on the back so I could put my newspapers in them that I delivered.
I also remember one Sunday when Dad was helping me deliver newspapers, I had almost 100 customers on Sundays, and back them we delivered to the door! I was not feeling good and came to the door, and I still remember this like it was yesterday, I open the screen door to Steve Higley’s house in Windom, Minn, and kind’a threw the paper in the air and with all the Sunday inserts and so on, the paper flew all over the place! UGH!
Dad saw from the car what I had done,. he drove me that day, as I said I was not feeling good, Dad said to me, “Son, when you do a job, you do it right the first time.”
I have carried that with me all my life.
One of the first times I got paid from collecting on my newspaper routes, I had two of them and also mowed lawns, I bought my Dad a fudgesicle at a ball game and he had the biggest smile on his face, that was at a basketball game in Slayton, Minnesota. he had the biggest smile ever!
I have great memories of my growing up! Amen!
My Dad is truly me hero, a man that I will love so much forever and ever and I can’t wait to see him in heaven, him and Mom and all my other loved ones in heaven.
What I learned from my Dad, is one of the main reasons I am in ministry.
I have included a picture of my Dad, Wally Moede, this is one of the last pictures I have of Dad before he died suddenly of a heart attack on Easter Sunday April 19, 1992, the week he retired.
If you do not see the picture of my Dad on your email, the full version of the CUP is at FGGAM.ORG
The picture is of my Dad driving school bus, he loved it so much! One day on KDOM Radio back home the Methodist Preacher doing the days devotion on the radio called my Dad, “God’s angel here on earth to look after His children” Dad was the Windom School’s Transportation Director, back in the day when the school had 30 Bus routes!
Dad was also the towns Assistant Fire Chief for years and years.
He served our Country in WWII, as a SGT. in the United States Marines.
Always serving others, Jesus like, He came to serve, not to be served.
I have tried to carry that with me all my life, put others before yourself. We used to call that one of the “Golden Rules”.
Be God like, have the mind of Jesus Christ, that was my Dad.
I pray I do better at this.
You see in our Country we are in a “fix”, we have become selfish, too many think of themselves first at what is best for them at all costs to others.
The love of Jesus Christ our Lord must be in our homes. The lessons of Jesus Christ must be taught in or homes.
What brings joy to God?
When your wife feels your hand on her back in the morning as you awake.
When you stop to listen to your wife when you normally shift into high gears of routine.
When you hold you wife in the morning and pray over her, Pastor Paul Holt told me to do that everyday…hold Sharon and Hug her, lay your hands over her and pray for her! It has made a tremendous difference in both our lives! I now do that when i get to see the kids!
When you make your wife coffee before she asks.
When you help your child when they cannot seem to get their backpack pulled together.
When you help your next door neighbor lift something from their car. I am always stunned when people tell me that they do not know their neighbors! God wants you to know your neighbors, so you can show the love of Jesus.
When your coworker, the one you see everyday, needs help, you don’t have the time I know, but you do it anyway.
In Ministry work, I am really focused on the needs of others, but I must not take my main focus off my wife, kids, other family and my friends and neighbors.
If I do not have my home in order, I will not have anything else in order for very long.

Three Ways to Destroy a Relationship

This is a true story sent to us my Marcie May…………great message here!
Sad news from yesterday: We lost our apple tree to the wind.
Noah and I had actually worked on it last week because it was invaded by, what we deemed, “Demon weed roots.” After coming home from being out of town, the apple tree’s growth was soooo stunted. We began to dig out other weed trees around it and found noduled weed roots wrapping and embedding themselves into the apple tree. I told him, “Son, come here, we’ve got some amazing pastoral lessons to learn from this.” For 2 days, we talked about the implications of lies left unchecked in our lives and how they affect us, just as these tree demon roots attacked the tree.
Every thing we “plant” in our lives will bear some kind of fruit. We must be diligent to get rid of things that attack what God is really wanting to grow. This tree had been soo overtaken by the weed roots, that its own roots didn’t flourish. When the 40+mph winds came, it was taken out.
Establish a firm root system in the word of God, so that when the winds and rain come, you can stand. Get the junk out, because it not only affects you, but the fruit that feeds others.
That was just some of the main stuff. No wonder Jesus used plants and everyday things to teach principles of the Word of God – it’s rich stuff!
True Story by Marcie May of Albuquerque
God Bless you Marcie.
Stand strong on the word of God, plant your self in His way and word.
Plant yourself in the Lord so that the “demon weed roots” as Marcie states, don’t strangle your life.
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 3:11
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. Luke 6:48
