Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear Family of Jesus,

“The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” – Psalm 118:6

Thank you so much for stopping by for a CUP! God Bless you!

As we start out this morning I share these words from Joyce Meyer…….

God is working in you and in your life right now. You may not feel it or see it, but you can believe it!

We don’t have to understand everything that God asks us to do. We just need to do it.

Pastor Jim Montoya was the first to really Preach to me about God working on things we cannot even imagine. Just think of that! God goes before us and paves the way for us.

From the Amplified Bible Deuteronomy 31:8

It is the Lord that goes before you; He will march with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; let let there be no cowardice or flinching, but fear not, neither become broken in spirit depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm.

Oh my friends take God’s Word to heart!

Fear not…….Just picture in your mind God going before you……..be in constant conversation with God each day and seek His direction in your life.

Do not listen to the Nothing Noise of the World……..Do not speak before God gives you the Words to speak.Do not act before God show’s you the way.

All these wonderful blessings, God giving you the words to speak and giving you the way to go comes with a personal relationship with Him. Do you have that?

Let us be a thankful people……..

We only enter a full life with Jesus Christ if our faith gives thanks.

Because how else do we accept His free gift of salvation if not with thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is the evidence of our acceptance of whatever He gives. Thanksgiving is the manifestation of our Yes! to His grace.

Thanksgiving is necessary to live well, whole, fullest life in Jesus Christ!

“If the Church is in Christ, its initial act is always an act of thanksgiving, of returning the world to God,” writes Alexander Schmemann. If I am truly in Christ, mustn’t my initial act, too, always be an act of thanksgiving, returning to Jesus with thanks on the lips?

AMEN! Hallelujah!!

Please be with God this day and all days and stay focused on HIM, be in the Spirit!

WOW! Another wonderful letter………..

Hi, I just wanted to sign up after my dear friend Jeanell Abeyta shared Daily Cup with me…Awesome
Also I want you to know I passed the “letter from God” to my church family who are all reporting great blessings…
As a result of this amazing letter we are passing it on to our friends in Panama who live in the “Darrian jungle” by making banners for their church for all to see.

Thank you and God bless you,
Rina Pelaccio

Thank you to our Dear Friend Jeanell Abeyta for passing along the CUP. We encourage you to pass the CUP along as the Lord shows you! Thank you for the nice letter Rina. God Bless you! We are praying for your friends in Panama!

We are also praying for Sam and her health. Karen did you hear anything from Sam?

We are praying for Ruby who has had two brain surgeries and she is not doing well at this point. Please pray for peace and comfort and pray for her son to seek the comfort of knowing our Lord.

Here is another letter after yesterday’s posting……..

OH, DEWEY!

Jeremy’s story made me cry! LOL! Thank you for sharing that today! It is so good to remember that empty tomb – and that it’s empty FOR US!!!

I am so grateful!

Thanks so much for having Karen post my note about the Freedom In Music Project yesterday! I feel so blessed to have people cross my path who are doing the Lord’s work – just because it needs to get done. I am so humbled and privileged to know them.

Welcome back! I’ll try and pop over between tomorrow and Friday!

Love to you and your family! And God bless!

Grace

God Bless you Grace! Grace and her husband are a wonderful supporter of this Ministry! God Bless you both!

Here is another heart warming story from Godvine……..

An Important Winter Lesson Now the man to whom I’m going to introduce you was not a scrooge. He was a kind, decent, mostly good man, generous to his family and upright in his dealings with other men. But he just didn’t believe all that incarnation stuff which the churches proclaim at Christmas time. It just didn’t make sense to him, and he was too honest to pretend otherwise. He just couldn’t swallow the Jesus story, about God coming to earth as a man. “I’m truly sorry to distress you,” he told his wife, “but I’m not going with you to church this Christmas Eve.” He said he’d feel like a hypocrite and that he’d much rather just stay at home, but that he would wait up for them. And so he stayed, and they went to the midnight service. Shortly after the family drove away in the car, snow began to fall. He went to the window to watch the flurries getting heavier and heavier and then went back to his fireside chair and began to read his newspaper. Minutes later, he was startled by a thudding sound. Then another, and then another. Sort of a thump or a thud. At first he thought someone must be throwing snowballs against his living room window. But when he went to the front door to investigate, he found a flock of birds huddled miserably in the snow. They’d been caught in the storm and, in a desperate search for shelter, had tried to fly through his large landscape window. Well, he couldn’t let the poor creatures lie there and freeze, so he remembered the barn where his children stabled their pony. That would provide a warm shelter, if he could direct the birds to it. Quickly he put on a coat and galoshes and tramped through the deepening snow to the barn. He opened the doors wide and turned on a light, but the birds did not come in. He figured food would entice them in. So he hurried back to the house, fetched bread crumbs and sprinkled them on the snow, making a trail to the yellow-lighted, wide-open doorway of the stable. But to his dismay, the birds ignored the bread crumbs and continued to flap around helplessly in the snow. He tried catching them. He tried shooing them into the barn by walking around them waving his arms. Instead, they scattered in every direction, except into the warm, lighted barn. And then, he realized, that they were afraid of him. To them, he reasoned, I am a strange and terrifying creature. If only I could think of someway to let them know that they can trust me – that I am not trying to hurt them, but to help them. But how, because any move he made tended to frighten and confuse them. They just would not follow. They would not be led or shooed because they feared him. “If only I could be a bird,” he thought to himself, “and mingle with them and speak their language. Then I could tell them not to be afraid. Then I could show them the way to the safe, warm . . . . . . . . . to the safe, warm barn. But I would have to be one of them so they could see, and hear and understand.” At that moment, the church bells began to ring. The sound reached his ears above the sounds of the wind. And he stood there listening to the bells – listening to the bells pealing the glad tidings of Christmas. And he sank to his knees in the snow.

Children come home for lunch but there is no food. There was nothing for breakfast either. With your help we are changing that. Thank you for your gifts to feed hungry children. August 23, 2012. Always be ready with the answer of the Lord. Recently, I saw a loving father of a young lady give his best spiritual answer to a problem. He freely quoted “just the right scripture” in his counsel to her. He could do that with accuracy because he is a righteous and informed man of God. Families today should not yield to the ways of the world that so tempt our young ones. Let our parents be loving and full of compassion for their children. At the same time, it is important to use godly discipline both to teach and guide. These are perilous days for families worldwide who want to establish their children and the whole atmosphere in the Christian way. Proverbs 23:12 (NASB) “Apply your heart to discipline and your ears to words of knowledge.” Ras Robinson Subscribe to “What the Lord Is Saying Today” August 23, 2012. There are things you no longer do. You could do them if you pushed through, but you know deep in your soul it would not be good if you did. That is not where you are in life now. Be at peace. Don’t try to do the things you once did. Don’t live in the past. Do what is set before you now. This is a new day. Yes there are things you are to push through and do. Do those. I give you wisdom to know what to do and what not to do. Don’t live in the past and don’t wait for the future. Enjoy the present. Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 (NLT) “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal.” Bev Robinson Scroll down to see “Photo of the Day” from our ministry to children in the Philippines. August 23, 2012. Recently while visiting an Indian reservation, I heard of the positive impact of tribal elders among their people. I have also seen elders in my life seeking You for wisdom and direction for the benefit of people they oversee. God says, “I am the one who establishes My authority through individuals in your life. Whether the results made by decisions they made did or did not have a good outcome, their intentions were for the good of the people they care for. I exhort you to fall in line with Me as your Father. Let me establish your plans and ways by submitting to those I have appointed as leaders among you.” Jeremiah 29:11(NASB) “For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” Kevin Robinson Here’s Doctor Joe……….. Herbal remedies are usually very inexpensive and come with fewer side effects than most prescribed medicines. Here are the must-haves: Eucalyptus essential oil – Purifies the air, and may relieve sinus and lung congestion. I keep a tiny bottle (similar to the sort that department stores sample perfumes) and it’s filled with pure eucalyptus oil. I sniff it before boarding, especially if people are sick around me, and I’ve never gotten sick during or after a flight. You inhale it, do not ingest it. Dilute with a little oil and rub on your sore muscles. Lavender essential oil – Another must have, that you apply to your skin for minor burns, bites, stings, rashes, abrasions, pimples and so forth. You can take a few deep inhalations of this oil for instant relaxation, or to help you sleep. Rub on pulse points. Tea Tree Essential Oil – A powerful anti-fungal and antiseptic. Clean cuts/scrapes with it and apply to discolored fingernails and toenails twice daily. Can dab lightly on pimples. Do not ingest. Neutralizing Cordial – Take this tincture by mouth, it’s great for stomach aches, gas, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn or acid reflux. Echinacea – Boost immunity and enhance the production of white blood cells; great to ward off colds, minimize allergies, prevent infections, and protect from toxins from spider/scorpion or jellyfish bites. Don’t take if you’re allergic to ragweed. Usnea – Usnea tincture is an antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-amoebic. It kills everything so I suggest this for people with serious lung, staph, strep or bladder infections. Of course, do not delay medical treatment if you really need it. Bentonite clay- When taken internally it binds toxins, but too much can cause constipation. Suggest 1/8 or 1/4 teaspoon mixed in water daily, but do not take within 4 hours of important medications because it will inactivate them. Clay can be applied to the skin to draw out poison from stings and bites, and to dry up pimples. Bach Rescue Remedy – An energetic remedy – you take a few drops by mouth. It’s a brilliant combination of flower essences and affects the emotional and spiritual layer of our body. People use it to help manage trauma or shock, convulsions, fainting and even severe stress like a car crash, animal attack, or witnessing death. Visit www.nelsonsnaturalworld.com White Willow Bark or California Poppy – These are used in the same way that you might use ibuprofen, aspirin or Tylenol. I recommend them as herbal tinctures. There’s a whole world out there on herbal medicine. If you’d like more information visit the American Botanical Council’s website at www.herbalgram.org www.DrJoeFawcett.com Thanks so much Dr. Joe!

This letter from JR really says it all!

Brother Dewey;

On behalf of the Lighthouse of Chimayo, I would like to tell you just how much we appreciate your ministry. We were so blessed by your recent visit. In these times where everything has become acceptable and people seem to interpret the Bible for their own personal satisfaction, it is refreshing to hear a voice preaching the Truth. Your willingness to obey the Holy Spirit and your commitment to spread the Word of God are admirable and are always welcome! Your passion to be the salt and light of the earth as we are called to be, is very apparent. Your love for the lost and the hurting is inspirational and heartwarming. Our prayer is that God will continue to use you in this world that grows colder and colder. Let’s keep in touch for any upcoming events. We want to serve right alongside you.

In His strong love,

J.R. Abeyta, Deacon

The Lighthouse of Chimayo

I had been praying or someone to be a witness as to what this Ministry that God has given Sharon and I is all about! AMEN!

My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus Acts 20:24

Joshua 24:15

I wish I could share more right now, but Lord Willing on Thursday!

The Empty Egg

Jeremy was born with a twisted body and a slow mind. At the age of 12 he was still in second grade, seemingly unable to learn. His teacher, Doris Miller, often became exasperated with him. He would squirm in his seat, drool, and make grunting noises. At other times, he spoke clearly and distinctly, as if a spot of light had penetrated the darkness of his brain. Most of the time, however, Jeremy just irritated his teacher.

One day she called his parents and asked them to come in for a consultation. As the Forresters entered the empty classroom, Doris said to them, “Jeremy really belongs in a special school. It isn’t fair to him to be with younger children who don’t have learning problems. Why, there is a five year gap between his age and that of the other students.”

Mrs. Forrester cried softly into a tissue, while her husband spoke. “Miss Miller,” he said, “there is no school of that kind nearby. It would be a terrible shock for Jeremy if we had to take him out of this school. We know he really likes it here.” Doris sat for a long time after they had left, staring at the snow outside the window. Its coldness seemed to seep into her soul. She wanted to sympathize with the Forresters. After all, their only child had a terminal illness. But it wasn’t fair to keep him in her class. She had 18 other youngsters to teach, and Jeremy was a distraction. Furthermore, he would never learn to read and write. Why waste any more time trying?

As she pondered the situation, guilt washed over her. Here I am complaining when my problems are nothing compared to that poor family, she thought. Lord, please help me to be more patient with Jeremy. From that day on, she tried hard to ignore Jeremy’s noises and his blank stares. Then one day, he limped to her desk, dragging his bad leg behind him.

“I love you, Miss Miller,” he exclaimed, loud enough for the whole class to hear. The other students snickered, and Doris’ face burned red. She stammered, “Wh-why that’s very nice, Jeremy. N-now please take your seat.”

Spring came, and the children talked excitedly about the coming of Easter. Doris told them the story of Jesus, and then to emphasize the idea of new life springing forth, she gave each of the children a large plastic egg. “Now,” she said to them, “I want you to take this home and bring it back tomorrow with something inside that shows new life. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Miss Miller,” the children responded enthusiastically-all except for Jeremy. He listened intently. His eyes never left her face. He did not even make his usual noises. Had he understood what she had said about Jesus’ death and resurrection? Did he understand the assignment? Perhaps she should call his parents and explain the project to them.

That evening, Doris’ kitchen sink stopped up. She called the landlord and waited an hour for him to come by and unclog it. After that, she still had to shop for groceries, iron a blouse, and prepare a vocabulary test for the next day. She completely forgot about phoning Jeremy’s parents.

The next morning, 19 children came to school, laughing and talking as they placed their eggs in the large wicker basket on Miss Miller’s desk. After they completed their math lesson, it was time to open the eggs. In the first egg, Doris found a flower. “Oh yes, a flower is certainly a sign of new life,” she said. “When plants peek through the ground, we know that spring is here.” A small girl in the first row waved her arm. “That’s my egg, Miss Miller,” she called out. The next egg contained a plastic butterfly, which looked very real. Doris held it up. “We all know that a caterpillar changes and grows into a beautiful butterfly. Yes, that’s new life, too.” Little Judy smiled proudly and said, “Miss Miller, that one is mine.” Next, Doris found a rock with moss on it. She explained that moss, too, showed life. Billy spoke up from the back of the classroom, “My daddy helped me,” he beamed.

Then Doris o pened the fourth egg. She gasped. The egg was empty. Surely it must be Jeremy’s she thought, and of course, he did not understand her instructions. If only she had not forgotten to phone his parents. Because she did not want to embarrass him, she quietly set the egg aside and reached for another. Suddenly, Jeremy spoke up. “Miss Miller, aren’t you going to talk about my egg?” Flustered, Doris replied, “But Jeremy, your egg is empty.” He looked into her eyes and said softly, “Yes, but Jesus’ tomb was empty, too.”

Time stopped. When she could speak again, Doris asked him, “Do you know why the tomb was empty?” “Oh, yes,” Jeremy said, “Jesus was killed and put in there. Then His Father raised Him up.”

The recess bell rang. While the children excitedly ran out to the schoolyard, Doris cried. The cold inside her melted completely away.

Three months later, Jeremy died. Those who paid their respects at the mortuary were surprised to see 19 eggs on top of his casket……. all of them empty.

Children come home for lunch but there is no food. There was nothing for breakfast either. With your help we are changing that. Thank you for your gifts to feed hungry children. August 22, 2012. You are so amazing. You were created to be My treasure chest of My goodness and righteousness in the earth. This is the time to open My treasure chest and impart to those you and I love. It would be good to start with your immediate family members and increase the circle and circles of love. Look inside yourself and see the gleaming and sparkling treasures you are to give to others in My family. Did you know I depend on you for the blessings from My treasure chest to be given out? As you do, challenge each one to do as you have done with My treasure chest. Amaze Me with your own amazement for others to see and experience. Exodus 35:31 (NASB) “And He has filled him (Bezelel) with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge and in all craftsmanship.” Ras Robinson Subscribe to “What the Lord Is Saying Today” August 22, 2012. There are ideas circling your mind. Which one is the best? Which one is the right one? Which is the one that will portray what I want said? What I say will help people. What I say will change lives. I am teaching you now as you go. Don’t hesitate because you don’t know the end results. Just start and revelation will come as you go. You will see at the end the whole picture. Sometimes I show you the end before the beginning, but don’t let any way become a ritual. That will tend to keep the way you do things in a box. I don’t stay in a box. Deuteronomy 29:29 (NLT) “The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions.” Bev Robinson Scroll down to see “Photo of the Day” from our ministry to children in the Philippines. August 22, 2012. First and foremost, I have spoken to you very clearly about coming to Me with a pure heart. Having done so, I want you to seek Me first in everything you do. Offer to Me a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Offer up your first fruit which I have given to you freely. Humbly and boldly, seek me in the quiet place. Seek Me and My righteousness. Pursue Me on the mountain tops and in the valleys. Look for Me in whatever circumstance you’re encountering. Yield to Me and let Me guide you in every step you take. Search diligently for Me, and let Me shine My light on your ways. Jeremiah 29:12 (NIV) “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Matthew 6:33 (NIV) “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Kevin Robinson

Here’s Dr. Joe and the Medical Bag……….

When it comes to breast health, your weight matters the most. But another important factor is hormone balance.

Let’s start with weight. I do not know your particular size or weight, so I will speak from a general standpoint. Those flabby abs and thighs can increase production of dangerous cancer-causing hormones, including estrogen. Clinical trials will often conclude that ‘estrogen promotes cell proliferation in breast tumors’ which could also be stated this way: Fat causes cancer.
Fat cells hold on to estrogen, and estrogen drives certain cancers. Losing weight helps because doing so, reduces estrogen load in the body, and this may slow growth of tumors (even before you find out they’re in you). Yes, even before diagnosed. Why wait for the cancer to be diagnosed. Remember, tumors don’t grow overnight; it has been growing for years, sometimes 10 to 20 years before it’s picked up by an imaging scan.

Losing weight also works because this lowers serum insulin, and high insulin is a risk factor in the development of cancer as well as other 30 other disabling medical conditions. You see, insulin increases an enzyme in your body called “aromatase enzyme. This is the same enzyme which converts testosterone and androstenedione to estrogen within the cells. Remember, I just told you excessive estrogen fuels cancer growth.

The point is losing weight is critical, and choosing good foods can help you regain your figure while slashing your risk of cancer. I think the best breast food you can eat is broccoli. This vegetable, as well as other crucifers (cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnips) have a positive impact on the way you break down your estrogen. They benefit breast health by reducing 4 and 16 estrogens (considered harmful) while increasing a protective, potent anti-cancer form of estrogen called 2-methoxyestradiol. Supplements which increase production of this 2 estrogen are sold nationwide at health foods stores as “I3C” for indole-3-carbonol, or a related type which is better for people with low stomach acid called “DIM.” Both I3C and DIM are proven to support breast and prostate health. Natural iodine supplements can help this pathway too.

On the no-no list are fried or fast foods, any boxed, processed or heavily refined dinners, anything artificial as well as a diet high in refined sugar. Coconut, olive, avocado and grape seed oil are all wonderful to include in your diet. Spices such as curcumin and saffron are powerful herbs you should eat frequently (or supplement with). And obviously, monitor your hormones with a urine analysis each year.

Dear Dewey’s Daily Cup readers,

I think just 2 more days and we will be blessed to have Dewey back with us @ KKIM and serving us in the Cup! Today the Lord led me to share a short writing from my new book The Train Whistle. This is one of my favorite Chapters in the book, because in this Chapter can be found “the end of the book” in which God promised me in the beginning: God said, “I will give you the beginning, the end and I will be with you through it all.” God was faithful in teaching me for 10 years through the writing of this book and when I heard him say it was finished, it was!

Special Note- I encourage you to listen to KKIM today! NM News & Views 4:25-5:11pm MT with Pastor Charlie Rizzo & Pastor Mark Tross- wrote a book that’s now out of print about a revival at his church in New Milford, NJ, where I was saved 30 years ago. Isn’t that amazing! What a wonderful reminder of God’s power and Grace.

Just a special note about The Train Whistle, Sounding the Call of God’s Love, by Karen Rowe
· The Beginning of “The Train Whistle, Sounding the Call of God’s Love” [is found on pages
79-81] These

are the 1st 2 pages ever written for this book and I knew they were God inspired that very day!
· The End of “The Train Whistle” [is found on pages 146-148] and entitled: How Far Is It from the East to the West? This was actually written during the last editing phase just days before the final submittal to the publisher to begin the actual publication process!

· “The end” of the book is located in mist of the middle of the book and submerged in the Chapter on Hope, entitled, “Hope is Authentic and Living [Pages 145-171];” and leads in to one of my favorite parts of The Train Whistle, “Hope Like Daniel and His Three Friends.”

So, Just to share what was on my heart to say about this Chapter in the book, but Today, The Lord has lead me to share from this “hope chapter” in The Train Whistle: The Great Reveal (Page 153).
I hope this is a blessing to you!
The Great Reveal

Every year I watch for my peony’s great reveal in the spring. This year, I took pictures of its birth, so to speak. First, my family and I watched the red stems pop out of the ground at just the right time in such a way that Christ comes in our life at just the right time. Then we watched the stems grow as they uncurled from a root that had been hidden all of this time. Christ is with us in a similar way. Jesus is with you, waiting for you to look toward the root of God’s love to find him. God purposed Jesus to be our vine who connects us to life with God. From Jesus, we branch and reveal the blooms of God’s love in our life as we reveal the fruit of the spirit, “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23), in our lives.

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

John 15:4

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-23
We can see the power of God best working in our lives when love overpowers our sinful nature that many times wants to oppose kindness, patience, gentleness, and self-control, which are the fruit of God’s pure and perfect love. It is a miracle to watch a peony defy the odds and burst out of the ground, and it is a miracle to experience peace and joy in the midst of a conflict.
Connected to Jesus with our minds, bodies, and spirits, God will transform our lives like God raises that buried peony bulb from the ground to grow into a beautiful plant. A peony does not think about it—it just performs in the midst of the miracle that it is made to be. We too need to quit thinking so much and just perform as the miracle that God made us to be. What if the peony thought, Today is a little too cold, and put off today for what may be easier tomorrow? What if the peony thought, The ground is awfully hard, and I am buried so deep? If the peony looked at its odds, it would never burst through the surface of the earth to shine for God’s glory alone. However, when we see what God has done with his creative hand, it is a beautiful miracle to experience. You are wonderfully and fearfully made by God to live well with God.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Psalm 139:14

Nothing is too hard for God, and he has had you on his mind all this time. As God leads by his righteousness, we can follow Jesus and “remain in step with the spirit” (Galatians 5:25) with peace from God that assures us that we are near to God

We too, like the peony, will go through dormant times in which we are being prepared for the next season. Don’t give up. Never tire of doing the right thing and always trust and remain in your faith. Stay focused on performing for God in all things. God has already supplied our enrichment and strength inside of us. Remain in Jesus. We are more equipped than that peony to flourish for God. We are never alone, God is always near, and even when it feels like God is taking a nap, he never sleeps. Rest in the Lord until you can see what God already knows. Praise God to experience his peace.
Even if life appears grim, praise God, who knows what his root in you can do. God is preparing you for something great and something better than you have ever known. In the dormant season, we only have the hope to see the peony that we know is there. In the dormant season of our lives, remain in your hope with Jesus expecting to see great things from God.
As we watched my peony erupt from the ground, we were literally watching a miracle from God. Just like we believe that God gives the sun, rain, soil, and nourishment to transform a bulb and grow it into a plant, we must believe that God has given us Jesus, The Holy Spirit, and the holy written Word to transform a believer who will apply his word to our life. Love does not control—love gives us the freedom to choose. We must mix our faith with God’s Word so it will be a benefit to us.
My peony is in full bloom at the time that I write this. Through scripture, believe you have new life available to you when you just turn to him and learn the truth that God loves you so much and has sent you his Son so that you shall not perish but have everlasting life:

The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall but the word of our God stands forever.
Isaiah 40:7-8

Like closing your eyes and not seeing the stars, then walking away from the majestic beauty and truth in your hope; Ignoring the truth is like swimming away from your one rescue boat because you don’t understand it is there to save you. Fearing the truth is like remaining in captivity for fear of the unknown in freedom. The truth gives us knowledge from God that is greater than all the stars in heaven.
Someone without knowledge can look at the ground of my winter brown yard and tell me there is no life left for the spring; however, I know all the life I will see in the spring because I have knowledge of what is hidden in my ground. The life that I know exists is multiplied and growing, even when I cannot see it, but by faith I know. Never give up hope. God is at work doing great things for you, even when you cannot see.
If there was no hope for us, God would not bother with us. If there was no danger in sin, God would leave us alone. Get to know God and find out how faithful he is. Perseverance is vital and is a necessary path to reach higher virtues in our lives with God.
Perseverance is not the end—it is the beginning of something new and better.

Throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles; run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right (powerful) hand of God; taking his rightful, called and authorized position with God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Hebrews 12:1-3 (see also Hebrews 12:7-11)

The peony does not talk back, sin, or deny the truth about God, but we do. God cares for us with the same tender hand with which he cares for all living things. The truth is, God knows who we are, but he sees us through Jesus. God remembers that we are wonderfully made, and he sees us with his forgiving and loving eyes because of who God is, not because of who we are. God just loves us, pure and simple. How can we deny Jesus and ignore God’s love notes to us that we find in the written Word of God?
I have nothing to gain by manipulating your belief, and that is not the goal of this book. The Train Whistle is a book pointing to a greater book and one great God who sent his one and only Son for us. The truth needs no manipulation because it has nothing to hide. The truth is hidden in Jesus for us to find for our own benefit. We should not run in fear of the truth that is intended to bring us knowledge of life and love with God.
God is molding our hard hearts to learn that his way really works better than our own ideas of how to best suit ourselves. I once asked God,“I couldn’t handle knowing tomorrow, could I?”But God can. God knows all our tomorrows and sees us in our today. By the time that we get tomorrow, we will see what God knows today. Trust God, for he is faithful, all-knowing, powerful, and wise.

Revelation knowledge: Don’t worry about yesterday, Shed guilt & simply repent and learn from your mistakes; don’t fret about tomorrow, God’s got that covered! Today is a good day to enjoy a brand New day that God has called Today!
Be blessed in all you do in your comings and your goings … Jesus smiles to you, so smile, because Jesus loves you too! In Jesus’ precious name, amen.

Love in Christ,

Prayer request-

Dearest Dewey…

Phil and Linda Oliveira have founded The Freedom In Music Project, which ministers to, andprovides musical instruments for, the 15 or so long-term youth detention centers in Abq.

Phil, a minister and long-time musician himself, has made it his mission to use music to help these kids find hope, a higher purpose and, through Phil and Linda’s generous ministry, these kids can build a more Christ-centered life for themselves – especially after leaving the detention centers.

To fund their ministry, Phil and Linda have organized a fun benefit concert featuring local musicians this Saturday, August 25th, at the Kimo Theater. The Freedom In Music Project is finalizing their non-profit 501c3 status, so my company is helping promote their benefit concert free of charge as a Community Affairs event. But despite this and Phil and Linda’s diligent efforts, ticket sales are moving slowly. As such, I thought perhaps I could offer yet one more lifeline of support – the power of prayer.

It is my hope that in sharing their story with your blessed band of powerful Prayer Warriors, we can together, appeal for Divine Assistance for this very worthy cause to help troubled youth right here in New Mexico.

It occurred to me that we might ask our generous community to support Phil and Linda’s mission with a prayer for a successful event on Saturday so they may continue to bless the kids they are fighting so hard to save, and continue to raise awareness within the community.

For easy reference, The Freedom In Music Project Benefit Concert and silent auction are scheduled for this Saturday, August 25th at 6:30 starting with The Memphis P. Tails followed by brief presentations by members and supporters of the organization. Then the show closes with a great Classic Rock jam session with Big Moe And The Philtones, (including Phil) and several great local musicians! Phil and Linda have secured some amazing prizes for the auction and raffle, including a guitar autographed by Kenny Wayne Shepherd, a Fender ‘Squire’ Stratocaster Guitar, ‘Breaking Bad’ memorabilia autographed by the cast and a variety of other items!

You can find more info on their website at http://www.thefreedominmusicproject.com/index.html (select ‘Fund Raising Events And Announcements’ from menu at top of page).

Dewey, if it’s not too much trouble, I would humbly request a prayer for assistance and support for these lovely people and their ministry. I had no idea how serious and far reaching drug abuse is amongst our community’s teens. Phil and Linda are trying to do something about that while seeking out local solutions. If anyone is interested in purchasing tickets to this event, they may do so online at the Kimo website, www.cabq.gov/culturalservices/kimo . Tickets are only $12.

However, a simple, heart-felt prayer for the success of Saturday’s benefit concert would be so humbly and gratefully welcome. After all, Phil and Linda have undertaken the most honorable of Christian missions, the saving of lost souls.

The least we can do is bolster and support them with earnest prayer on their behalf.

Dewey, thank you in advance for whatever wisdom you can offer. I do know God works so powerfully through you. I am grateful for your influence on my life and that of my family. God bless you and your own ministry, Dewey, now and always. I am here to support you as well, so please stay in touch. (Call/email me with questions.)

In the meantime, thanks again and God bless.

From Dr. Joe’s Medical Bag

Iodine is so important and you may run low if you swim in chlorinated swimming pools, drink certain beverages or brush your teeth with typical toothpaste.

Iodine is one of the components that helps make thyroid hormone. It starts out as thyroxine or T4 for short. The “4” refers to the number of iodine molecules bound on to the “T” which stands for tyrosine. Thyroid hormone is just iodine and tyrosine glued together. At some point, one of the iodine molecules leave, and you’re left with T3 which is your body’s fuel. T3 wakes you up and burns fat, it makes you pretty. Doctors can’t agree on what the best range is. I think you’ll feel well if your T3 is between 3.5 – 4.2.

The thyroid gland is the only part of the body that has cells capable of absorbing iodine, which it gets from food, iodized salt, seaweed but it doesn’t get nearly enough. The American Thyroid Association reported that approximately 40% of the world’s population remains at risk for iodine deficiency. Part of the problem is that foods grown in mineral-deficient soils are far less nutritious. Bring in chemicals called halides such as fluorine, chlorine and bromine which are annoying bullies and race for the same spot on the cell that iodine does, the bullies win.

Who are the bullies? For example, a very popular sports electrolyte drink contains bromine, your pool and Jacuzzi contain chlorine and most toothpaste contains fluoride. It’s not any one punch, it’s the cumulative effect. You know how you love that new car smell? Some of it is off-gassing of bromine, and you’re breathing it in. Your thyroid gets upset.

These bully halides are drug muggers of your iodine; they could cause deficiency. This increases your risk for becoming hypothyroid: Hair loss, depression, always feeling cold, weight gain, brittle fingernails, constipation, pale, dry skin and fatigue which is constant and you seem to wake up only after that triple latte caffeine shot.

Iodine deficiency is not always the only cause for hypothyroidism. Your doctor can test you so don’t take iodine indiscriminately because it can cause hyperthyroidism and nodules. I only recommend supplements that contain both “iodine” and “iodide” because different tissues of the body respond better to certain forms of Iodine. The thyroid gland loves iodide while the breasts and prostate crave iodine. That’s why I recommend either I-throid (not misspelled) capsules, or Iodoral tablets (these tablets contain pharmaceutical glaze in case you’re sensitive). Health food stores usually have them or they can order either of these for you, or you can buy online. I don’t like liquid iodine supplements, they usually taste unpleasant and I’m never sure of consistency from drop to drop.
