Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Hello! How are you? We are praying for you all! This is Kelly Snelgrove, bringing you the CUP today at FGGAM.org – For God’s Glory Alone Ministries. If all images do not show please go to www.fggam.org for a full and impacting view of this CUP and for More FGGAM News and Inspiration.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month and my family and I would like to thank the pastors in our lives. Pastor Dewey Moede, Pastor Leonard Navarre, Pastor Brandon Shaffer, Pastor Kyle Worley, Annette Morlando and David Dodge . Thank you for being true to the Word, for reflecting Jesus and for being such a blessing in our lives! You are all appreciated so much! We thank all pastors for their faithfulness!
I am also writing you today of a heartfelt concern I have for the hungry and impoverished. I would like to share with you some statistics, scripture and an outreach my church began in order to address hunger in a new and different way in our community.

“In many ways, America is the land of plenty. But for 1 in 6 people in the United States, hunger is a very real struggle. Many people believe that the problems associated with hunger are confined to small pockets of society, certain areas of the country, or certain neighborhoods, but the reality is much different.
Right now, millions of Americans are at risk of hunger. These are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot always make ends meet and may be forced to go without food.” -Feeding America
According to Patricia Harris, former secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, “If all of America’s 25 million poor people lived in one state, it would be the nation’s largest.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 15.8 million children under 18 in the United States live in households where they are unable to consistently access enough nutritious food necessary for a healthy life.
I would like to specifically address child hunger in our nation today as there is an increased vulnerability and potential for long-term consequences for children who are under-nourished.
Good nutrition, especially in the first three years of life, is very important for establishing a good foundation for physical and mental growth.
What about our school-aged children who are facing hunger?
Many rely on the free/reduced meals available at their school, but when the weekend or a holiday arrives many of these children may have little or no food at home. On Monday mornings, they arrive back at school unable to learn because they are hungry. Their lack of nutritious food impacts their behavior, academic performance and cognitive development. Hunger leaves lasting physical and emotional effects. As a result, hungry children cannot develop into their full potential to become healthy, successful and productive adults and are more likely to face poverty as an adult.
In the Fall of 2012, Brandon Shaffer, Lead Pastor of Valley View Christian Church, Edgewood, NM asked if I would organize and lead a weekend backpack program for hungry children in need. With prayer, support, volunteers and God’s blessing it came together. This is one of many ways our church reaches out to our neighbors and community through Unleash Compassion Ministries, led by Pastor Leonard Navarre.
In January 2013, Pastor Brandon Shaffer sent out an email to our Valley View Christian Church Family. I would like to share a portion of that email with you:
Dear Valley View Family,
You’re Awesome. One of the things I love about our church is that whenever a need is laid out people step up to the plate. A few months ago I presented an idea that God put on my heart. I let you all know through a message that I felt God was leading us as a church to begin addressing hunger in a new and different way. It was just an idea about filling backpacks full of food to send home with kids on Fridays so they will be able to eat on the weekend. There was nothing concrete, no plan, no team, no structure to make anything happen. But something amazing happened that day—people started giving that day. People also started volunteering and dreaming. Backpacks were donated from outside the church. God truly began moving.
Children are identified and selected to participate in Valley View’s Weekend Backpack Program by the school’s social workers, counselors, teachers and school nurses.
The children take the food filled backpack home every Friday and return it to the school on Monday morning to be refilled by our team of dedicated volunteers.
In the backpack are a variety of food items that are child friendly and shelf stable that require no refrigeration. What is unique about Valley View’s Weekend Backpack Program is it provides meals not only for the child but for their family as well.
As we stand in the gap to fill this hunger need we are offering the children a better opportunity and relief for a family struggling to make ends meet.

We receive positive feedback and words of gratefulness from the parents, children, school staff and community. We are receiving requests to expand to additional schools as this program continues to make a community impact.
Last week a thank you note was tucked in the pocket of one of the children’s backpacks. A child’s artwork– a heart, rainbow, sun, flower and a happy face unfolded. And penned inside by a grateful mama were these words:
Dear Valley View Christian Church,
You’re Responsible! For the Stars in My Eyes… How fantastic that you are able to do this for us and so many others! You strengthen our faith and remind us of how important it is to remember that God truly does provide a way for us every day!
Thank you!
God truly does provide a way for of us– each and every day! Thank you Father for your provision! Amen!
It is our love of Christ and his love for us that drives us into action to meet the needs of the poor, hungry, helpless, and the oppressed. It is this action of love and compassion that makes for a powerful witness as we apply his Word to our society.
A Selection of Biblical Summons We Have to Serve the Poor
Galatians 2:10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.
Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Psalm 41:1 Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the LORD delivers them in times of trouble.
Proverbs 14:31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.
Proverbs 21:13 Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered.
Matthew 10:42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”
Matthew 18:5 “And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.
1 Corinthians 13:3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
James 1:27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
James 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
Isaiah 58:10-11 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
Matthew 25:37-40 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
For Him,
Kelly Snelgrove

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Oh how we love you so!!!
If all images do not show please go to FGGAM.ORG www.fggam.org
I took the picture above yesterday here in Albuquerque.
My heart sank yesterday when I saw this on Facebook………….
My mom Marilyn Kelly went home to be with her Lord and Savior at 1:15 pm today October 15th.
Earth’s loss is Heaven’s gain. Thank you to all who prayed for her and held her up in prayer.
Her visitation will be at Lacanne Funeral home in Windom, Minnesota on Friday October 17th from 4-8pm and her funeral will be at Windom Evangelical Free Church beginning at 1:15pm on Saturday October 18th.
When I read this I felt like a piece of Windom had died, I am thankful I got to talk to Marilyn awhile back. The Kelly family has been a foundation in the Windom area, a legacy that forever will stand for God’s Glory Alone! Love to all of the Kelly family! We are praying for you all.
Marilyn’s husband, Jack was the basketball and baseball coach at the school in Windom, He also was the Shop teacher and a Fireman and Rescue Squad member. For years they also were part owners of the Pine Inn my favorite all-time drive in!!! WOW! ROOT BEER and a HAMBURGER with the works! AMEN! What food! Its been nearly 36 years since I left Windom. I remember Marilyn and Jack as being very busy with their own family but helping many others and being a foundation for Windom.
Yesterday before I knew that Marilyn had passed onto heaven, I drove by the sign I have posted here: “Life is a temporary assignment” Well, I am here today to ask you what are you doing with this assignment? WOW! If we all could impact a community like Marilyn and Jack have. There assignment was to serve others and they did so in such an AWESOME way!
I have to say here it is impossible to know your assignment, your true calling, without a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Amen! Many people think they are on the right track with their life, but not the track God wants them to be on, they do not hear HIM!
As many of you know, Acts 20:24 is my life verse…..My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus. Amen! Marilyn and Jack knew the work that was assigned them by the Lord, to serve others. You can’t mention Jack without mentioning Marilyn or Marilyn without Jack as they were a Godly team.
I am in mourning for the Kelly family……..it is good to take time to mourn. In this fast paced world we, I believe forget to mourn properly, we forget that others may be mourning.
Matthew 5:4
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted”

The above picture is from a few years ago at a wedding of Jack, Marilyn and grandson Jack and bride Kaley. Look at those happy faces! Praise God!
The last time I talked to Marilyn a few months ago, she told me, “We loved your Wally and your Mom” You see my Dad and Jack were best friends, they worked together at the school, Dad would drive the team bus wherever the team was playing, and Dad and jack swerved together on the Fire Dept.
There is nothing like love, friends and community!
God commands us to love:
Matthew 22:37-40
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Jack and Marilyn are role models for me and thousands of others on how to live a life full of love for others.
So, as we know life is temporary here on earth, what are you doing with the life our Lord Jesus Christ gave you?
This CUP means so much to me in my walk with Jesus Christ, it has been 17 years of the Lord directing me to pour you a CUP everyday possible. It is my way of paying all those folks who have shown me so much love over the years like the Kelly family. Yes, I am from a small town, many tell me I am from Mayberry, Lol! Well so be it, there is nothing like a small town!
As I close this part of the CUP, I want you to realize that there are many people like Marilyn and Jack in this great country, America! I have met many of them in my 36 years in radio/TV and now in ministry. That is a great blessing to us all, let us duplicate their efforts!
I pray that headline grabbed you! With all the news about Islamic State and Chemical weapons, Ebola and the Houston Mayor stomping on Pastors…..KKIM newsman Frank Haley sent us this “FUNNY BONE” to brighten your day!
THREE CONTRACTORS BID TO REPAIR WHITE HOUSE FENCE (more truth than fiction!!)

And this my friends is exactly how it works!

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.
One is from Chicago, another is from Kentucky, and the third is from New Orleans.
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.
The New Orleans contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
“Well,” he says, “I figure the job will run about $9,000. That’s $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me.”
The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $7,000. That’s $3,000 for materials
$3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me.”
The Chicago contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, “$27,000.”
The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?
“The Chicago contractor whispers back, “$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Kentucky to fix the fence.”
“Done!” replies the government official.
And that, my friends, is how the Government Stimulus plan works.

Remember… Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.
LOL! LOL! Thanks Frank!

Tell me who you’re running with and I’ll tell you who you’re becoming………
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
Proverbs 16:28
A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.
How do you start your day?
I love starting my day in prayer with my soul mate Sharon……..is their anything better than that! NO, starting your day with the Lord, then your spouse, and loving on the doggys! PRAISE GOD! Giving thanks to God for everything! There is something to be said for a man to lay his hands on his wife and pray over her. Pastor Paul Holt suggested that to me years ago and I will always be thankful to him for that! Amen! Men you will find that it will bring you closer to your wife in a Godly way.the marriage will become stronger! It is more important than ever to pray for our families and friends and this world we live in.
Man loves to complicate this world, and God’s Word, man waters it down and does bad things to God’s Word. God made His Word simple for us! Maybe it is to simple for this secular, high tech world! No wonder it is going to hell in a hand basket!
We are just so thankful for you all that visit the CUP daily! I was telling Dave Fjeld in Windom, Minnesota yesterday that I would love to sit down and have a CUP with him…but Dave said, “I do very morning in the CUP!” LOL!
Over the years, there have been many books written on Church disputes and how to resolve them.
It is a terrible shame that a single book ever needed to be written on that subject! Amen?
The fact is, God intended for his church to be a family that is so peaceful and loving that other people desire to be part of it! Amen!
Not like this:

Pastor Who Has AIDS and Had Affairs With Church Members Refuses to Leave The world is spinning out of control and the church is part of that mess. We are to be Christ like in everything we do and say. Amen!

Jesus says, “The only way that people will really know if you are followers of me is if they see you love one another!” What are you showing the world? It’s not always what you say, but how you walk, how your wealk with Jesus is going? What is your walk showing the world?
God intends for his church to be a community of healthy fellowship!
Why is that so important?
Because our relationships in life have an effect on our relationship with Christ!……….let that soak in for a second or two..or like my Daddy would say, “Chew on that for awhile!”
Every relationship you have on this earth will either help you grow closer to Jesus Christ or it will draw you farther away from Him! Think about that! Please!
Sharon has helped me grow closer to God…as have Buffy and Reno….showing me everyday the uniqueness in His creation! Amen!
Tell me who you’re running with and I’ll tell you who you’re becoming!
We must be careful that we don’t allow the lives of others to influence us away from Christ and His church.
If you don’t balance your “NON-CHRISTIAN RELATIONSHIPS” with relationships of people who DO FOLLOW GOD, you will soon find yourself growing apart from HIM!
That’s why the church needs to be a place of positive reinforcement and encouragement instead of a place of negativity!
God intended for his church to be a healthy fellowship!
That is why I love the CUP! and FGGAM.ORG HEALTHY FELLOWSHIP AMEN! For 17 years! Praise God!!!!
By the way what you just read is from my latest sermon and we will have the audio posted this week! Thank you Lord.
I also want to thank Pastor Robert Lewis who is one of my main mentor’s, he is helping me become a better preacher for God. Pastor Robert serves the Smithfield Christian Church in Carl Junction, Missouri.
If you have drank the CUP over the years, you know I love to learn and reach out to others to learn. I have been so blessed by so many men and women of God to help me become a better person of God. THANK YOU LORD!
I LOVE PEOPLE!!!! I LOVE TO LEARN!!! THE LORD HAS GIVEN ME MANY FRIENDS LIKE YOU! THANK YOU LORD! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
Here is a love note:
We are so blessed by the Cup. God has really used your ministry to spread the good news of our Lord and Savior to all people. You are a true disciple of the Lord, and the Cup helps to keep us fed in our walk with Christ. We pray God continues to bless you and your ministry!! We love and miss you and Sharon! George and Brandi Greene in Clarksville, Maryland
Thank you George and Brandi for you love note!
