Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

It is Monday and I know many of you could use a perk up……..This one could not wait from our dear friend Linda Barnes with IRN/USA Radio……….

WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE

Barbara Walters, of 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul,
Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict.

She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.

She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind
their husbands. Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the
women now seem to, and are happy to, maintain the old custom.

Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, ‘Why do you now
seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?’

The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation
said, ‘Land Mines.’

Thanks Linda! HA! HA!

God Bless you all, Dewey

Dear KKIM Family,

Please drink this whole cup……….

I want to thank all of those who are guiding me through my life with Christ! I thank all who are helping me become a Pastor! Thanks be to God!

I thank all of you who show so much Love to me and Sharon and family. We Praise God for you all.

“When you are making a difference in someone else’s life, it’s not something you do. It’s God working through you.” Lt. Col. Lisa Tice Chaplin at Kirtland Air Force Base.

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”
whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord will, we shall live and do this or that.” James 4: 13-15

The Lords will….not ours. One of the toughest lessons I have had to learn and still have to work at everyday of my life.

A retired sportswriter with the Rochester, NY newspaper died last week……….in the write up about his death they said he had all sorts of plans! He was just 56. The writer of the article said, “If you want to make God laugh..make plans. There is certainly a lot to be said for that!

We have to make sure that God is at the front of those plans.

Time is short………we must spread the GOOD NEWS……..

The book of James has become such a vital part of my guide for life with Jesus Christ. I think that Chapter 4 is so AWESOME! Read it please, and let me know your thoughts.

What would happen if we all guided our lives by James 4: 13-15?

My 93 year old Uncle Joe says People have got to get back to having the Bible be their guide and not themselves.

Seek The Lord first and foremost………with all your heart and devour His word.

His will……….not ours…….

There never has been a book written with as much wisdom and common sense than the book of life……..The Bible……..because it is from God.

The Lord put James 4 on my heart because of what happened to the family in Rio Rancho.

At the July Fourth fireworks show in Rio Rancho, Jarrod and Jessica Truesdale put a blanket over their heads on their children as they hurried to their car.

Then lightening struck killing Jarrod, 26 and severely injuring his 26 year old wife, Jessica. At last report she was in a coma.

They have four children ranging from 18 months old to 7 years old.

The family is now speaking about this tragedy in public for the first time.

Jarrod was a soldier who served in Iraq, winning a medal for heroism after saving five people.

Jarrod and Jessica were High School sweethearts!

Please keep this family in your prayers……………and we have this note………….

As you may be aware, on July 4th in Rio Rancho a young family was struck by lightning. The father passed away almost instantly, the mother is still in the hospital, and the four children were treated and released. This family is in need of assistance.

There has been an account set up at First Community Bank Albuquerque accepting donations to aid the Lightning Strike Victims.

Please also continue to pray for Lenya Heitzig the wife of Skip Heitzig of Calvary Church in Albuquerque. Lenya underwent surgery to remove a tumor that is malignant. Lenya will be undergoing chemo. Please keep Lenya and the family in your prayers.

Praise Note…….Congrats to John and Desiree Jelso on the birth of their son, Ryan Joseph 8 lbs 11 oz 21 inches! PRAISE GOD!

Also Happy Belated Birthday to Paul Young………long time friend of KKIM!

We have been talking about the down fall of men in high places for weeks now………This is AWESOME from Max Lucado………
My Success is About Him
by Max Lucado
With success comes a problem. Just ask Nadab, Elah, and Omri. Or interview Ahab, Ahaziah, or Jehoram. Ask these men to describe the problem of success. I would, you might be thinking, if I knew who they were. My point, exactly. These are men we should know. They were kings of Israel. They ascended to the throne…but something about the throne brought them down. Their legacies are stained with blood spilling and idol worship. They failed at success. They forgot both the source and purpose of their success.

You won’t be offered a throne, but you might be offered a corner office, a scholarship, an award, a new contract, a pay raise. You won’t be given a kingdom to oversee, but you might be given a home or employees or students or money or resources. You will, to one degree or another, succeed.

And when you do, you might be tempted to forget who helped you do so. Success sabotages the memories of the successful. Kings of the mountain forget who carried them up the trail.

The man who begged for help in medical school ten years ago is too busy to worship today. Back when the family struggled to make ends meet, they leaned on God for daily bread. Now that there is an extra car in the garage and a jingle in the pocket, they haven’t spoken to him in a while. In the early days of the church, the founding members spent hours in prayer. Today the church is large, well attended, well funded. Who needs to pray?

Success begets amnesia. Doesn’t have to, however. God offers spiritual ginseng to help your memory. His prescription is simply, “Know the purpose of success.” Why did God help you succeed? So you can make him known.

Why are you good at what you do? For your comfort? For your retirement? For your self-esteem? No. Deem these as bonuses, not as the reason. Why are you good at what you do? For God’s sake. Your success is not about what you do. It’s all about him—his present and future glory.

Let’s check the mailbag…………

Dewey:

The Mesa View United Methodist Church is looking for 4 part time teachers
for their preschool which starts mid August. If anyone is interested, they
can contact Darlene at 898-9364. Thanks!

Sandy Harrington

Thanks Sandy………By the way Sandy had one word to describe the Beth Moore Conference this past weekend that KKIM helped sponsor……….Sandy said it was, “Incredible” PRAISE GOD!

Dearest Dewey, Sharon and family. Gods Peace and Love
Today when I received your email, it started me thinking on my life. It seems that when I get your updates and ‘Food’ through this machine it just makes my day Dewey. I know you are a busy man. And I thank God that you have Sharon as a mate. She no doubt is the bond that holds things together. Our Lord has just made it that way.
But technology has made it where you can reach so many Dewey. And I for one am so very thankful for that.
I just wanted you to know, God has answered prayer with me. I’m feeling just great these days. The last dose of shots in my neck have worked. Last night I realized I had only taken one pain pill during the entire day! For me that is a miracle. When I’m not in pain I don’t’ even think of taken them. So today is a terrific day! I’m actually going fishing with my son. (My favorite thing to do!!)
So all the prayers and all the thoughts of me from all the children that pray for us in need, have been answered! I sure hope I can have the rest of the summer pain-free. What a miracle that would be.
Love, Sam

Always great to hear from you Sam! Would love to hear from you! Please drop us a line.

Gretchen found a coffee mug at Starbucks that had “Daily Cup” written on it…….That got us thinking again about creating “Dewey’s Daily Cup” coffee mugs. Give us your feedback….would you order one?

I am playing catch up here Sunday morning having a cup with you all and praying for you all. I got way behind with the 4th of July and taking sometime off. Please forgive me for being late on some things. I am still working on my daily walk to become a Pastor and also working on our house in Los Alamos. Please keep all this in your prayers. I do not like to disappoint anyone.

“But my life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus.” Acts 20:24

One thing that sadden’s my heart is when people leave KKIM and the Cup when they don’t agree with my stance or answer on Biblical issues. I always seek the Lord’s will and also counsel with other’s on tough questions. My Dad always told me, “Son, if you do not have any enemies in life, that means you don’t stand for anything.” That is what I have to remember.

I even find that too many Christians do not want to be held accountable or they want God to arrange life for them.

But, I think the toughest thing for many is they do not like to be held accountable and many will search years for “something” that fit’s their needs!

Let us pray………………

Lord, We pray today for all the needs that we have listed here on the Cup today………We pray that all will turn to You and Your will! We will pray over James 4: 13-15……..In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and Family

Dear KKIM Family,

If your gift is to encourage others, do it! Romans 12:8

That my friends is what I try to do everyday.

PRAISE GOD! Our house in Los Alamos is now going through a home inspection as the final process to be sold! Thank you so much for your prayers. Please continue your prayers through the sale process.

I am sad to tell you that I am not keeping up with phone calls and emails. I tried to take a couple days off over the 4th and my emails and phone calls built up. I had one person get after me about not answering and I did my best, but I don’t think I pleased her, as I need to pray before I answer certain questions. One of the problems of modern day communication is that many expect an instant answer. (I used to be one of those) What happens in emails is that people in a hurry to get an answer can say something that hurts the other party. I really believe with email, instant messaging, and now this thing they call twittering, the QUALITY of communication is not at it’s best.
I go back to one of my favorite verses that I posted this week………..

Kind words are like honey…….sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. Proverbs 16:24

So I have too tell you that I have started to do something that goes against me grain…..I am not able to respond to every email and phone call right away.(On a daily basis I deal with nearly 1,000 emails, not counting phone calls) I will always respond right away to urgent messages. I want you also to know that I pray for the words to use in my replies………and God does not always give them to me right away. There is something to the phrase that I was told years ago…….Silence is Golden……..

Silence gives us the opportunity to hear God. That is why sometimes after someone says something to me on the radio like yesterday……..there was a bit of dead air………because what she said was so profound……….I felt that her words needed to sink in……..to the heart and souls of us all.

With all our modern technology in communications, I don’t think the quality and love has improved………I actually think it has gone down hill, people want quick replies……..How would we have functioned when we only could write letters and use the phone?

Something to chew on and pray on for awhile.

I have never seen it so busy……………here is a look at upcoming KKIM events……..

I just love seeing and feeling the love between children and their Parents. Lars told me the other day, “Dad I love you so much thanks for listening to me and helping me, most dad’s don’t do that anymore.” Lars get’s that from his friends that a lot of dad’s are disconnected from their kids.

I love to see Pastor Leonard Navarre around his grand kids………Lot’s of love there!!!

After talking to my buddy Chris who manages KKIM’s Sister station in Bakersfield, California….when his Mom passed away…..I could feel the love through the phone between this Son and Mother. Chris has sent us the obituary of his Mom, Henrietta. Let us give Praise to God for the life of Henrietta!

Henrietta Louise Squires (1921 – 2009)

E-mail Visit Guest Book
Henrietta Louise Squires 1921 – 2009 Greenlawn Mortuary To some she was known as Detta, “Henny Penny,” the Rufners cosmetics lady, the costume lady, but to family she was “Mom,” and “Granny.” Henrietta Louise Squires went to be with the Lord on July 2, 2009 after leading a full life. She enjoyed her gardening, her antiques and visiting with her treasured friends. The loving daughter of Roy and Anna Gillespie, she grew up in San Bernardino with her sister Gloria and brother Bill. She often shared memories of her childhood and it was clear to all of us how important her family was to her. Detta married Victor Squires and was a war bride while Vic was flying missions for his country. After the war, they lived in San Bernardino and Canoga Park before settling in Bakersfield. Although she worked several places during her life, she loved the people she served at Rufners and considered them friends. We would often be out around town and people would come up and tell her how much they missed her and the store. She so enjoyed seeing and visiting with them. After Detta retired, she kept busy helping to sew and dress the cast of many local theatre presentations. A woman of many talents, she was a quilter, seamstress, oil painter and gardener. Although she was homebound the last few years, she had dear friends who called, wrote and came by to spend time with her. Her church family at First Presbyterian was so faithful to bring her flowers and communion on a regular basis. Thank you to you all as she so cherished your visits. Detta is survived by her son Chris, her daughter Vicki and husband Gary Witcher, her grandchildren Michelle, Jason, Christine, Gary Jr., Josh, Angie and 8 great grandchildren. We will miss the conversations, the Saturday trips to Farmers Market, arguing politics, and her presence in our lives. We love you Mom! Services will be held Friday, July 10, 2009, at 9:30AM at Greenlawn Mortuary and Cemetery (River Blvd. and Panorama Drive).

Let’s see what Dr. Deb is up too!!!

Dear Listeners,

Caring for and nurturing our children is the role of parents. However, when the parents are not there, for whatever reason, who cares for the children? Everett White and Sharon Roberson will be my guests to tell us about one way children are cared for through the Albuquerque Christian Children’s Home. This is a wonderful example of the church caring for the needy in our community. Find out how they serve our children and what you can do to help.

The show airs from 8:05 to 9:00 AM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) this Saturday July 11 on KKIM-AM1000 or FM94.7 in the Santa Fe /northern NM area. The show is also audio streamed live on http://www.mykkim.com/. If you have a question or comment, please give us a call. In the Albuquerque area the phone number is 998-0021. You can also call toll-free at 1-866-523-5008. I am looking forward to being with you this Saturday morning.

In obedience to Him,

Dr. Deb

Let me leave this note with you………….

It is no surprise that the stimulus package has failed……….State Rep. Janice E. Arnold Jones who announced on Wed. that she is going to run for Governor of New Mexico, says that her information show’s that only 10% of the stimulus money has been released the rest is tied up in grants and red tape.

Will the President realize that his plan has failed? Then what will he do? I think there is a good chance that he will do what he should have done in the first place give every tax payer a check! But is it too late? We are so far in debt now!

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14

That is what the United States of America needs to do……….that is the best stimulus plan available!!!!!!!!!

Let us pray………….

Lord, “Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, “Woe to those who call evil good”, but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We confess that. Forgive us Father. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
