Dear KKIM/KARS family,
May God Bless you and yours this day!
The following brought me to tears……….
As a chubby little Sunday schooler, I used to sit in the musty basement classroom of the Church on Main Street. I sang with my friends,
“O be careful little feet where you go…..
little ears what you hear……….
little eyes what you see……
little hands what you do.”
I smiled as I sang, but had no idea how much of my life on this earth would be about wrestling over what my ears would hear, where my feet would go, what my hands would do.
The words of Greg Swinney in the Feb 19th issue of “The Lookout”
Oh my! How touching and profound…..I wish I would not have walked some places I have walked……..
I encourage us all to sing those word’s of Greg this day and all days……..Child like faith……..too much of the Church has gotten to big for their britches………
Greg said in his write up, “How might things be different if we took seriously the call to be salt and light?”
I thank pastor Leonard Navarre for subscribing to “The Lookout” for me! It is a great publication. I also thank Kevin at Bibles Plus in Albuquerque for his gift of Teaching materials! I also thank Wannel Pate for her gift of oil, you see I am out of anointing oil……..I gave the last of my oil so that Denna could be anointed this morning before her medical procedure.
I thank the Lord for James 5……..The LORD is leading people to me and me to them to anoint with oil……..Thank YOU LORD! For God’s Glory Alone………let us be Salt and Light of the World.
By the way if you can donate oil, teaching supplies, Bibles, videos, we sure could use your help and if you would consider a financial gift we would appreciate it…….we use these materials to minister to many, carrying our the Great Commission being Salt and Light, we try to practice what we Preach! I just very humbly ask you for your support. I don’t think we ask much……..It’s all for God’s Glory Alone!
My life verse which I have shared many times……
My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24
Thank you all who show your love to me and Sharon each day with your prayers…and the prayers for KKIM/KARS! God Bless you all!
I want to share a PRAISE note with you! Buffy who has been under going cancer treatment is coming off CHEMO! She has undergone just about 4 months of Chemo and is doing very well! THANKYOU LORD! Buffy has been a member of our family for almost 12 years.she has given the Moede’s much…….she was right by Sharon’s side 6 years ago when Sharon was very ill. I have always said we have two nurses in the house, Sharon and Buffy! Buffy helped Reno recover from two heart worm treatments. What a God we have, look at HIS creation’s today very clearly!
I had a Pastor call me yesterday for prayer…….I was so blessed by his call………I want us all to prayer for Pastor’s. Many are getting beat up emotionally. This Pastor has the heart of a Superman of JESUS! He has been told by some in his Church if he reads too much of the Bible they will leave, and some have! This Pastor would read Chapter’s or part of Chapter’s during service, now it has been cut down to verses! I encouraged the Pastor to READ CHAPTERS!!! KEEP BEING SALT AND LIGHT, GOD HAS ANOINTED YOU TO BE THE SHEPHERD GO FORTH AND DECLARE HIS WORD AND IF SOME WALK THEY WALK!! AMEN! And he will read Chapters in the love of Jesus Christ!
More later on this paradigm shift that continues in the American Church and in our society overall………wait to you read the paradigm shift going on at West Point! That story is in your CUP as you drink……….
Too much of what I am hearing from Pastor’s and from lay people disturbs me greatly, I always ask them, where is God in what you are doing?
We must pray for the American Church!
I got a kick out of this devotional by Max Lucado, as I finally have been hit by the sickness that has been going around……..I have that bad cold………I wanted to go see little Dom at the Hospital but that will have to wait……..anyhow, this is an excellent message from Max Lucado as usual………
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
I leaned back into my beach chair, interlaced my fingers behind my head, and closed my eyes. That’s when it happened.
No warning. Just bombs away! PLOP!
I looked up just in time to see a seagull giving high feathers to his buddies on the beach!
Count on it—into each day a bird will plop! Traffic will snarl. Friends will forget. Spouses will complain.
Who has a good day on these days? Most don’t—but couldn’t we try?
“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
This day? Rejoice in it? God invites us to!
Could we rejoice smack dab in the midst of this day? Imagine the difference if we could. How’s that for a day changer?
Have a Great Day—Every Day!
And while you’re at it—keep an eye on the seagull with the silly grin!
Please pray for Denna as she goes into the Hospital this morning to have a biopsy of the mass in her bronchial tube.
We also have unspoken prayer requests from folks.
Let us be in prayer.
Here is an update from Pastor Steve Freeman……………..
Good Morning Dewey!
Thank you for your prayers and the prayers of the Saints! Sue and I have felt the Lord all around us over the past week. Peace has come back into our lives, with a strong sense of purpose for our grandchildren and our ministry. The body of Christ has kept us going, holding our hands up in praise to the Lord. The victory is all His!
Would you and your wife host a table for Care Net Banquet that is coming up on April 24th6pm. All it would take is a yes and to invite 8 other couples for this event celebrating life. Or you could sit with Sue and I at our table. It will be held at the Embassy Suite Hotel.

Steve also sent an email about the 10 Commandments that I am excited about!!!!!!!!
Last year when Ryan and Stephanie were still in Albuquerque, he helped me preach on the Ten Commandments, we recorded all our services and have them on file.
AWESOME BRO.can we get a recording? Also would you write on the 10 Commandments for us? God Bless you!
A Letter like this, is like honey to my soul…………We need more Kay’s in the world………By the way Kay is with Cross of Hope Church and School on the Westside in Albuquerque. Everytime I hear from her this verse comes to mind……..
Kind words are like honey
