Dear KKIM/KARS family,
May God Bless you this day and all days……….
“(The good Samaritan) went to (the injured man) and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. “Look after him.” he said, “and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.”
AMEN! a Great Valentines Day message……..
I am such a blessed man on this Valentines Day to have the love of my wife, Sharon all the kids and doggies and all of you!! PRAISE GOD!
Jesus is the greatest mentor ever! he owned nothing so He could travel light and be totally focused on others.
What is weighing you down? What is preventing you from following in Jesus footsteps?
In this CUP….much, plus Dr. Joe and our Medical bag and Pastor Bill Ruhl and the Financial news you need to know……
“Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?” Words of Thomas Jefferson
“I couldn’t care less about fame and fortune. I want to be famous in my home. That is the greatest fortune.” Pastor Mark Batterson
Men: What are you famous in your home for?
When you pray today……..Let us remember these words from yesterdays CUP……….
Paul gladly announces that we are “co- laborers with God” That is we are working with God to determine the outcome of events (1 Cor. 3:9) It is Stoicism that demands a closed universe not the Bible.
Certain things will happen in history if we pray rightly. We care to change the world by prayer. What more motivation do we need to learn this loftiest human exercise?
Counterfactual Theorists ask the what if questions.
What if the American Revolution had failed?
What if Hitler had been victorious in World War II?
Reading Biblical History turns my attention to the Jericho miracle.
What if the Israelites had stopped circling on the sixth day?
They would have forfeited the miracle right before it happened!
Let us pray on everything………..let us be in constant prayer on all matters in life.
As Paul says we are to be co-laborers with God.
A person told me yesterday they had given up on the United States and that it was all over……..We must not give up! We must be the Salt and Light until the Lord returns.
We must pray for America to turn from it’s wicked ways.
A person asked, me, “But, I don’t know how to pray…..” I said just start a conversation with God, start where you are at…God I really don’t know what to say, but I just want to share with You what’s on my heart, what I am worrying about……….just start…………it will be wonderful!
I constantly talk with God through out my day!
Happy Valentines Day to you all!
I remember back home in Windom when Grandpa Caraway would come into Town from the farm on Valentines Day to deliver a Heart shaped box filled with Candy to my Mom and Sister! Those our treasured memories of my youth, Grandpa showing his love. I am blessed that I had that kind of love of family out in the open. Grandpa Floyd (My Middle Name) set us a Godly example. He would build things in his wood shop and give to the ladies of the Church to sell for funds. Those times seem so far off……….
You could say I want those memories for many……..
What our your memories of Valentines Day?
It seems now that I am at the age where one memory brings on many!!! LOL! LOL!
May the love of Jesus Christ abound you!
This morning I come with a heavy heart to give you an update on Denna and Anita. Denna cancer has spread to her brain and back. For you that have read the CUP for years you then know of Cowboy Clarence, his Mother Anita has breast cancer. The Doctor wants to start Chemo right away.
Yesterday on the phone the Cowboy, as I call him, said that he promised to be strong for his Mother. Clarence relies on his Mother for much, being in a wheelchair.This young man’s resolve to be strong in our Lord is a powerful message to us all.
My Mom Ruth passed away of cancer 17 years ago last month at age 64. It was a roller coaster. never had a case of cancer in Mom’s family. Some say Mom passed on of a broken heart as Dad had just suddenly died of a fatal heart attack at 64 the week he retired. They passed away less than 2 years apart.
Is caner the most feared word?
I am very thankful for the write up’s on preventive health Dr. Joe Fawcett does for us, yesterdays was AWESOME on Cancer prevention and Vitamin D-3.
What are you doing for your health?
Yesterday I was going over to Dr. Hopkins office to pick up a refill for Reno and a lady was just inside the door telling nurse Anna about the death of her doggie. I remembered this lady from a visit awhile back when I had Buffy with me and at that time we talked about Buffy’s cancer surgery. Her dog Charley had been having convulsions . Charley passed on yesterday and I was able to pray over this lovely lady. We talked about how much our doggies mean to us, the comfort they bring to us, their love and passion, their loyalty, their common sense. I said that I wish more people had the common sense of dogs!
In fact if Buffy ran for President I would vote for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL
God call’s us to take care of his creatures.
Proverbs12:10
Good People are good to their animals; the “good-hearted” bad people kick and abuse them.
I am very distressed by the lack of respect in our society for life, life of humans and animals.
I have had more than one Pastor tell me that we live in a society of death.
In America we Abort Babies everyday and apparently that does not bother many.
My friend was telling me that they had a dear friend tell them awhile back that they should just SHOOT Charley……..I had a dear friend tell me that we should PUT DOWN Buffy, no that is not a call for us, God will tell us what to do.
Here in New Mexico in Socorro County there have been about 8 dogs shot to death recently by someone going up to homes and just shooting the dogs.
It is really an UnGodly mindset on how we as a Society look at life God that has given. Let no man take what God has given.
Let man listen for God on what to do on all matters.
How a Society looks at life tells much about it.
When I was a little boy the Doctor said I may never walk and run like the other Kid’s, but Mom and Dad got me the best Medical care and here I am at 56 running around! Cowboy Clarence has been in a wheelchair all his life, but his Mom and Dad have made sure he has had the best care. Everyday Babies are born around our Country with disabilities to loving Parents that will give them the love of God.
When it came time to treat Buffy’s cancer, we prayed to God what to do. God led us down this path where Buffy can enjoy the rest of her life not in pain, as we now continue a maintenance program for her cancer. Buffy has loved us much and we love her back.
Today is Valentines Day……..let us think of the Love of Jesus Christ in all matters.
Many of the problems we have in this Country is because of how we look at life.
I write all this and say to you this is why we need to be the Salt and Light of the World and occupy until the Lord returns.
I was prophesied over last week, and what I am to do is continue to Preach and write the same message over and over until the Lord returns……..be Salt and Light…….read about it in the Bible.
Here’s a nice note from Rick!

Day 14 of our 40 Day Journey! Oh my My prayer is that you never feel how Judas felt……..
Zechariah 11:23 Old testament Prophecy
Eternal One: (to Zachariah): Give my deserved portion of your fee to the potter.
And I did as He told me. I took the 30 shekels of silver—the noble price of my valuable service
