A FRESH CUP TO START YOUR WEEK KKIM/DDC/Monday, July 21, 2008
Good Morning KKIM Family!
It is such a blessing to be with you all today...........I just treasure this time together! I want to than you all for your prayers for Amy and Lynne. Please also pray for Jerry Torres as he is in the hospital once again because of his autoimmune disease. Jerry and Tina are good friends of KKIM and they are really struggling right now as they have no income coming in.
One of the things that makes me so happy in the Lord is to see many of you send notes to Amy and Lynne. Here is some of those notes...........please keep them coming. I also would like all of you to pray about sending Jerry and Tina a note.
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being a prayer warrior with us. My prayer for you is that you and yours will be filled by the Holy Spirit this day and everyday. I pray for you all everyday! I scan the email list and you are all in my and Sharon's prayers!
After this prayer, the building where they were meeting shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 4:31
Oswald Chambers said this...........
Intercession means that we rouse ourselves up to get the mind of Christ about the one for whom we pray.
Let us pray together...........
Lord, continue my instruction each day. Keep me in proper spiritual focus and empower me for the work to be done. In Jesus' name, AMEN!
It is so important to be instructed by the GREAT PHYSICAN! Follow His compass not ours!
Many of you wrote that you liked this scripture........
But He knows the way I take;
When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
My foot has held fast to His path:
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
I have not departed from the command of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
Job 23:10-12
Please also pray for the family of 23 year old Charles Vargas who was shot to death in a downtown parking garage in Albuquerque by a convicted felon who was out on probation. Charles was an excellent artist and was aiming to be a firefighter.
Please pray for the Lopez family as they head off on a family vacation. May God be with you all.
Also please pray for Merry, Dan, and son Eric as they head off to DISNEY WORLD!!!! May God be with you all!!!
Many families are getting a vacation in before the start of the new school year.
Good Morning, Dewey...
I will start praying right now! I have prayed for Tim and his sister, Lynne Buggs, many times over the years. Please re-assure them that the Lord is Great and Mighty! He can do ALL things! I will pray for total healing...and ask God to comfort them!
May God Bless You,
Teri Mac. (aka Zeni)
Dewey, this is for Lynne.
Lynne I wanted to let you know you are being prayed for. It is never
asking too much to ask for prayer. I know in my heart that this is
very much a part of treatment and healing. Cherie
Thinking of Lynne and her family...
All those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and
He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. Luke 4:40
May there be physical and spiritual strengthening and healing in this time and for Lynne!
Because of Jesus,
Karen in Elkhart
Dearest Lynne, you are definitely in my prayers. I feel the power of GOD for you Lynne. And HE has promised us that HE will always be there for us. What a blessing that is to just concentrate on THAT. To KNOW HE is Always with us, WOW. Even in times when HE is so far from our minds, HE is ALWAYS WITH US.
Bless you Lynne
Dewey, I just read the article of homosexuals, and was informed on so much I didn't know was going on. I want to THANK YOU for that article. It is wonderful to hear the TRUTH that is going on around us. Needless to say, they sure try to hide alot of it.
I can't even imagine a Minister going to jail for speaking the TRUTH, but it has happened alot in our history. Christians MUST speak out MORE and MORE. I would say (We can't let this happen) BUT, the bible tells us it will. So we must do what we can with whoever will listen, especially our children! love, sam
This really hit me about self-responsibility.........sent in by Karen of Elkhart............
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
-------------------------------------------
MODERN (POLITICALLY CORRECT) VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and lay ing up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN,ABC and NPR show up to provide pictures of the shivering
grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of
the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens
to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't
maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house,
now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once
peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2008
Good Morning and I hope this finds you all well. I am thankful for this ministry that allows us to all come together in Christ. I continue to read, pray and rejoice with you all!!Today, I would like to come together again in Praise to God.
Today, I send this as Praise to God in the highest. Our styles of worship may be different, but we are all worshiping the same God for who HE is and all the great that HE does. God is pleased when we praise and love HIM and love each other, as one under Christ.
May we all receive from God as God enables us; As we give God the Glory for all Good things! In the same I must trust God as I send this and I do so for HIS Glory.
When do we praise God the most? By Karen Rowe
Ephesians 5: 19-21
“Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”
God is so great!!! Praise God all the time. Praise HIM in good things and in bad…Boldly praise God out loud and don’t be afraid. God is good and worthy of praise! May we thank Jesus and say HIS name often!
It may take time to get to a point of praise in a bad situation; Jesus understands, but HE is also our strength!
We are only as strong as the closeness we seek in God, but nothing is so bad that God is not above…God gives us HIS grace that we need.
We know we receive His grace when we sense HIS peace and we offer God thanksgiving in Praise.
James 1:3-4
“…because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
…Something bad may get us down, but God can pick us up if we reach for and take HIS hand and what better way than praising God…
Praise to God unleashes the power in God to overcome anything …That is FAITH giving honor God!!! Through praise, we are enabled to gracefully get through difficult struggles.
Seek to praise HIM when tired or weak. Praise HIM with sincerity. The truth in praise is felt from the heart and is intended to glorify, thank and respect God and to show God our love for HIM.
If I am tired and feel that I have nothing to offer God, I can sit quietly with God until I overflow in Praise for HIM.
Time with God is fully received when HIS love overflows in praise from us...
I am not just writing words!
“Time with God” “HIS love overflows”…Actual time with Our Almighty God!
…And Praising God is from what we have already received! What a privilege!!!
Praise HIM in simple, quiet moments. HE comes to us and we can receive HIM in joy as we sit quietly in HIS presence, acknowledging HIM with a thankful heart.
Excited praise comes out easily on a perfectly wonderful day full of easily found blessings. Humble praise comes up out of us when God has rescued us.
A heart who believes HIS every Word and loves HIS commands will praise God automatically as HIS very Spirit fills our soul.
Praise God for HIS wonders and works that are done by HIS powerful hand. Praise God when we read HIS Word. Praise God when we sing to HIM. Praise God in prayer with our words and praise God in the stillness of the morning in the quietness of our hearts. Speak to HIM words of Praise!!! Meditate words of Praise to God all of the time and a closeness can be found in God that is real.
Exalting praise comes from complete trust in our God for who HE is!
God’s Spirit we cannot see; our spirit we cannot see, but just as the wind blows that we cannot see, we can know that the breeze blows by, just as we can know that God is with us…
Praise sent to God completes us as we are filled with the Spirit!
Praise acknowledges to God that we believe and know that He is the absolute creator of all things and giver of all good things.
The mornings are alive with HIS glory!
…so simple, but magnificently, the miracle of all life is newly unwrapped daily. My tired and weary soul can merely sit in God’s presence in silence and just bask in all that HE created and HE makes my soul soar.
To some, it may be different, I am told, but maybe only because the silence is not received in praise to God. To some the city is all one knows, but God is there too. We are created with different passions and talents for God's good purpose, but together we seek to do what is pleasing to God.
The day is what God created and the gift is how it is received.
So together, in our place on this earth, we can come together in Spirit and Praise our God, for HE is here with us all. How amazing is HIS Power, Grace and Glory!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise HIM Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
When do we praise God the most? When we acknowledge that we know that HE is here!
I was reading Psalms and the thought came to me to wonder what had occurred in the writer’s life that motivated him to write with such passion so many words of High, exalting praise to God.
Honestly, it is so simple…God is God, and HE is worthy of Praise!!!
In the Psalms we can read and feel the tremendous call on God for help; a total dependence and need that can only be met by trust in God.
The intensity of the need >>> given to the high praise of trust in God’s hand>>>and expressed by a passion in thanking God…
Our prayer life is intended to be passionate and full of trust. God is worthy of receiving thanksgiving in praise.
Think about that in your own prayer life.
I thought of my own prayer life. I praise GOD high when “I know that HE is here”…I have always known that God Is God and HE is here, but it took spending time with God for me to understand that praises are given to God as expressions of belief; Praise is worship to HIM, acknowledging HIM and all that HE IS and all that HE does.
To God is the Glory forever and ever!!!
The other thought is I praise God intensely when I am humbled by my weakness and acknowledge that I need God.
Praise God while waiting and Praise God upon receiving…God has power to do all things…Praise God for the gift of FAITH!
There is freedom in a humbled heart, humbled mouth and humbled actions. Praise flows so much more freely…when we are humbled to know that we need God in all things.
Let us find that place of peace in God daily; let us experience God with a humbled heart every day! Not just because we have a need, but because we love HIM and have a desire to please God. Then, we can clearly see our all of our blessings that HE so freely gives!!!
"I" am weak, but HE is strong…and HE promises to be "my" God…
Praise God! HE loves us and we can live a simple Spiritual life with God…Praise God and Thank Jesus!
A fleshly heart cannot passionately praise God because it is too busy worrying and complicating life seeking praise for self…We need humble hearts for God…
Crucify our flesh daily and look to serve God in all things for God’s will and purpose; not for our own comfort or recognition.
“I don’t need to make a million dollars,”… I only want to serve the ONE who already given it all! The gifts that Jesus gave us and the gifts that God so freely gives are humbling…God has given us so much already and He continues to bless us!
Praise God for HE really does know best in all things.
Although it may not make “logical sense” to a mere human mind, in a world bent on selfish motivation …
A spiritual heart understands that
A humble heart praising God makes a joyful heart.
We are filled with God’s Spirit and made Spiritual in God…
WE are NOT God, but God is in us…That is a real statement worthy of praise to God!
Praising God is a Spiritual action between each of us and God.
There is unity in each of us and closeness in Spirit that is shared in Jesus and in Praise…
…It is good and God designed.
Only Jesus can exact the perfection of HIS joy, peace, love and happiness in our heart, mind, body and soul!
May we turn all of our self toward praising and serving HIM, who does all great and wonderful things…May we always look to a higher vision!
God IS … still… and forever will be God!
I will close in Psalms:
Psalm 146:1-10
“Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
Do no put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.
When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them - the LORD, who remains faithful forever.
He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free, the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous.
The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the LORD.”
Psalm 147:1-7
“Praise the LORD.
How good it is to sing praises to our God,
How pleasant and fitting to praise him!
The LORD builds up Jerusalem ; he gathers the exiles of Israel .
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.
The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;”
I encourage to us to continue reading in the Bible…
Ephesians 5:18
Study notes: “be filled with the Spirit”… “Indicates the filling of the Spirit is not a once-for-all experience. Repeatedly, as the occasion requires, the Spirit empowers for worship, service and testimony.”
May we all enjoy a blessed day!
A blessing is a gift from God
that is received with praise and thanksgiving!
Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe
Thanks so much Karen! What a Blessing! Dr. James Dobson can be heard on KKIM weekdays at 6am and 1pm and here is some HUGE NEWS on Dr. Dobson.........
Focus Daily Radio Show Wins Place in Hall of Fame
Dr. Dobson’s fans propelled him to victory through online votes
Colorado Springs, Colo. — Dr. James Dobson’s more than 30 years of broadcasting have been honored with induction to the National Radio Hall of Fame. The 2008 Class was the first selected through national online voting, and the “Focus on the Family” broadcast is the first religious program to receive such an honor.
"I've made a living putting thoughts into words throughout my adult life, but it is difficult to express how I feel about this honor," said Dr. James Dobson today at a staff assembly. "I am especially pleased because the wonderful people at Focus on the Family deserve it. Our radio program has not been a solo effort. It has been a symphony performed by more than 10,000 people over the past 32 years. I am indebted to them all."
"Particularly, I want to thank the Broadcast Team, past and present. They get a big 'tip of the hat' for all their hard work and dedication. They have earned the accolades this honor recognizes. I also want to thank all the friends across the nation who cast their votes for me. I love and appreciate them all."
Focus on the Family President and CEO Jim Daly added: "To have 'Focus on the Family' honored in this manner means we've made a difference in families all over the world. That Dr. Dobson’s listeners recognized the excellence and relevance of the content of the daily broadcast and voted to give him a much-deserved win shows Dr. Dobson's influence is as strong as ever in the hearts of his fans, as well as in the culture."
As host of the daily broadcast, Dr. Dobson joins the ranks of radio luminaries such as Orson Wells, Paul Harvey, Gene Autry, Bing Cosby, Kate Smith, Jack Benny, Walter Winchell, Dick Clark and Rush Limbaugh, while "Focus on the Family" is featured alongside shows like "The Shadow" and "Your Hit Parade."
Dr. Dobson didn't anticipate the overwhelming and immediate success of the broadcast. Soon after his program went on the air in 1977, however, Dr. Dobson received an avalanche of mail from people across the cou ntry asking him for help and advice. Today, Dr. Dobson's internationally syndicated radio programs are heard daily on more than 3,000 radio outlets across North America. They also air in 27 languages in more than 160 countries.
The Hall of Fame's 2008 steering committee nominated Dr. Dobson in the "national active" category, alongside Bob Costas, Dr. Laura Schlessinger and the notorious Howard Stern. To qualify, a broadcaster must have contributed to the radio industry on a national level for at least 10 years.
May Christ be with you always, Love, Dewey Sharon and family

Dearest Lynne, you are definitely in my prayers. I feel the power of GOD for you Lynne. And HE has promised us that HE will always be there for us.

Good Morning and I hope this finds you all well. I am thankful for this ministry that allows us to all come together in Christ. I continue to read, pray and rejoice with you all!!Today, I would like to come together again in Praise to God.
Today, I send this as Praise to God in the highest. Our styles of worship may be different, but we are all worshiping the same God for who HE is and all the great that HE does. God is pleased when we praise and love HIM and love each other, as one under Christ.
May we all receive from God as God enables us; As we give God the Glory for all Good things! In the same I must trust God as I send this and I do so for HIS Glory.
When do we praise God the most? By Karen Rowe

“Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”
God is so great!!! Praise God all the time. Praise HIM in good things and in bad…Boldly praise God out loud and don’t be afraid. God is good and worthy of praise! May we thank Jesus and say HIS name often!
It may take time to get to a point of praise in a bad situation; Jesus understands, but HE is also our strength!
We are only as strong as the closeness we seek in God, but nothing is so bad that God is not above…God gives us HIS grace that we need.
We know we receive His grace when we sense HIS peace and we offer God thanksgiving in Praise.

“…because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
…Something bad may get us down, but God can pick us up if we reach for and take HIS hand and what better way than praising God…

I am not just writing words!
“Time with God” “HIS love overflows”…Actual time with Our Almighty God!
…And Praising God is from what we have already received! What a privilege!!!
Praise HIM in simple, quiet moments. HE comes to us and we can receive HIM in joy as we sit quietly in HIS presence, acknowledging HIM with a thankful heart.
Excited praise comes out easily on a perfectly wonderful day full of easily found blessings. Humble praise comes up out of us when God has rescued us.
A heart who believes HIS every Word and loves HIS commands will praise God automatically as HIS very Spirit fills our soul.
Praise God for HIS wonders and works that are done by HIS powerful hand. Praise God when we read HIS Word. Praise God when we sing to HIM. Praise God in prayer with our words and praise God in the stillness of the morning in the quietness of our hearts. Speak to HIM words of Praise!!! Meditate words of Praise to God all of the time and a closeness can be found in God that is real.
Exalting praise comes from complete trust in our God for who HE is!
God’s Spirit we cannot see; our spirit we cannot see, but just as the wind blows that we cannot see, we can know that the breeze blows by, just as we can know that God is with us…
Praise sent to God completes us as we are filled with the Spirit!
Praise acknowledges to God that we believe and know that He is the absolute creator of all things and giver of all good things.

To some, it may be different, I am told, but maybe only because the silence is not received in praise to God. To some the city is all one knows, but God is there too. We are created with different passions and talents for God's good purpose, but together we seek to do what is pleasing to God.
The day is what God created and the gift is how it is received.
So together, in our place on this earth, we can come together in Spirit and Praise our God, for HE is here with us all. How amazing is HIS Power, Grace and Glory!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise HIM Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
When do we praise God the most? When we acknowledge that we know that HE is here!
I was reading Psalms and the thought came to me to wonder what had occurred in the writer’s life that motivated him to write with such passion so many words of High, exalting praise to God.
Honestly, it is so simple…God is God, and HE is worthy of Praise!!!
In the Psalms we can read and feel the tremendous call on God for help; a total dependence and need that can only be met by trust in God.
The intensity of the need >>> given to the high praise of trust in God’s hand>>>and expressed by a passion in thanking God…
Our prayer life is intended to be passionate and full of trust. God is worthy of receiving thanksgiving in praise.
Think about that in your own prayer life.
I thought of my own prayer life. I praise GOD high when “I know that HE is here”…I have always known that God Is God and HE is here, but it took spending time with God for me to understand that praises are given to God as expressions of belief; Praise is worship to HIM, acknowledging HIM and all that HE IS and all that HE does.
To God is the Glory forever and ever!!!
The other thought is I praise God intensely when I am humbled by my weakness and acknowledge that I need God.
Praise God while waiting and Praise God upon receiving…God has power to do all things…Praise God for the gift of FAITH!
There is freedom in a humbled heart, humbled mouth and humbled actions. Praise flows so much more freely…when we are humbled to know that we need God in all things.
Let us find that place of peace in God daily; let us experience God with a humbled heart every day! Not just because we have a need, but because we love HIM and have a desire to please God. Then, we can clearly see our all of our blessings that HE so freely gives!!!
"I" am weak, but HE is strong…and HE promises to be "my" God…
Praise God! HE loves us and we can live a simple Spiritual life with God…Praise God and Thank Jesus!
A fleshly heart cannot passionately praise God because it is too busy worrying and complicating life seeking praise for self…We need humble hearts for God…
Crucify our flesh daily and look to serve God in all things for God’s will and purpose; not for our own comfort or recognition.
“I don’t need to make a million dollars,”… I only want to serve the ONE who already given it all! The gifts that Jesus gave us and the gifts that God so freely gives are humbling…God has given us so much already and He continues to bless us!
Praise God for HE really does know best in all things.
Although it may not make “logical sense” to a mere human mind, in a world bent on selfish motivation …
A spiritual heart understands that
A humble heart praising God makes a joyful heart.
We are filled with God’s Spirit and made Spiritual in God…
WE are NOT God, but God is in us…That is a real statement worthy of praise to God!
Praising God is a Spiritual action between each of us and God.
There is unity in each of us and closeness in Spirit that is shared in Jesus and in Praise…
…It is good and God designed.
Only Jesus can exact the perfection of HIS joy, peace, love and happiness in our heart, mind, body and soul!
May we turn all of our self toward praising and serving HIM, who does all great and wonderful things…May we always look to a higher vision!
God IS … still… and forever will be God!
I will close in Psalms:
Psalm 146:1-10
“Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
Do no put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.
When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them - the LORD, who remains faithful forever.
He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free, the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous.
The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the LORD.”
Psalm 147:1-7
“Praise the LORD.
How good it is to sing praises to our God,
How pleasant and fitting to praise him!
The LORD builds up Jerusalem ; he gathers the exiles of Israel .
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.
The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;”
I encourage to us to continue reading in the Bible…
Ephesians 5:18
Study notes: “be filled with the Spirit”… “Indicates the filling of the Spirit is not a once-for-all experience. Repeatedly, as the occasion requires, the Spirit empowers for worship, service and testimony.”
May we all enjoy a blessed day!
A blessing is a gift from God
that is received with praise and thanksgiving!
Love in Christ,

Thanks so much Karen! What a Blessing! Dr. James Dobson can be heard on KKIM weekdays at 6am and 1pm and here is some HUGE NEWS on Dr. Dobson.........
Focus Daily Radio Show Wins Place in Hall of Fame
Dr. Dobson’s fans propelled him to victory through online votes
Colorado Springs, Colo. — Dr. James Dobson’s more than 30 years of broadcasting have been honored with induction to the National Radio Hall of Fame. The 2008 Class was the first selected through national online voting, and the “Focus on the Family” broadcast is the first religious program to receive such an honor.
"I've made a living putting thoughts into words throughout my adult life, but it is difficult to express how I feel about this honor," said Dr. James Dobson today at a staff assembly. "I am especially pleased because the wonderful people at Focus on the Family deserve it. Our radio program has not been a solo effort. It has been a symphony performed by more than 10,000 people over the past 32 years. I am indebted to them all."
"Particularly, I want to thank the Broadcast Team, past and present. They get a big 'tip of the hat' for all their hard work and dedication. They have earned the accolades this honor recognizes. I also want to thank all the friends across the nation who cast their votes for me. I love and appreciate them all."
Focus on the Family President and CEO Jim Daly added: "To have 'Focus on the Family' honored in this manner means we've made a difference in families all over the world. That Dr. Dobson’s listeners recognized the excellence and relevance of the content of the daily broadcast and voted to give him a much-deserved win shows Dr. Dobson's influence is as strong as ever in the hearts of his fans, as well as in the culture."
As host of the daily broadcast, Dr. Dobson joins the ranks of radio luminaries such as Orson Wells, Paul Harvey, Gene Autry, Bing Cosby, Kate Smith, Jack Benny, Walter Winchell, Dick Clark and Rush Limbaugh, while "Focus on the Family" is featured alongside shows like "The Shadow" and "Your Hit Parade."
Dr. Dobson didn't anticipate the overwhelming and immediate success of the broadcast. Soon after his program went on the air in 1977, however, Dr. Dobson received an avalanche of mail from people across the cou ntry asking him for help and advice. Today, Dr. Dobson's internationally syndicated radio programs are heard daily on more than 3,000 radio outlets across North America. They also air in 27 languages in more than 160 countries.
The Hall of Fame's 2008 steering committee nominated Dr. Dobson in the "national active" category, alongside Bob Costas, Dr. Laura Schlessinger and the notorious Howard Stern. To qualify, a broadcaster must have contributed to the radio industry on a national level for at least 10 years.
May Christ be with you always, Love, Dewey Sharon and family
