Dewey's Daily Cup

Bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado is urging Americans to pray for President-elect Obama on Tuesday as he takes the oath of office. In an open letter on his Website, Lucado, described as “America’s Pastor” by “Christianity Today” magazine said, quote, “I am a pastor, not a politician, so I can only speculate as to what awaits President-elect Barack Obama. The long-lasting benefits of good choices…the fearful consequences of poor ones…complicated social issues and relentless international problems.” Lucado said, “He needs our prayers. And it’s our privilege to pray for him. The Bible says: ‘Pray for rulers and for all who have authority so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives full of worship and respect for God.'” A prayer guide is available on Lucado’s website as well as information about a live prayer event Webcast scheduled for tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. Central Standard Time.

Good Day My Good Friends,

I am finding out it is not always morning when some of you read this………….like is Africa! So Good Day to all!

I prayed for safe travel and a good visits with good friends……..I also read this from Chuck Swindoll on my trip………

Trust him whole-heartedly, in every corner of your life, recognizing that HE is the One in charge.

Now comes the after part. HIS part. “HE will make your path straight.” The word means “smooth,” “straight,” or “even.” In other words, HE will smooth out your path. He’ll take care of each of those obstacles on the trial ahead of you.

Another proverb, later on in that book, reads like a kissing cousin to Proverbs 3:5-6. Solomon writes, “When a man’s ways are pleasing to the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7

Another great promise!!!! When your path is smooth as a result of your walking in obedience, HE will make your enemies to be at peace with you.

WOW!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!

The Lord plowed through snow, ice, and 45 below temps to give me safe travel……….

Got in last night from Indiana……..45 below zero when I reached South Bend and then drove in stormy weather to LaPorte.

It was a HUGE blessing to see Ken and DeEtta Coe(WLOI/WCOE Radio)and speak at Ken’s retirement dinner. I had not been back in Laporte for years………but it was just like yesterday picking up where we left off with old friends……..Crash Miller, Charlie and Lavella Hickman, Marie Landis, Tom Kessler, Norma Sabie and many more…………

Ken was shocked to see me as DeEtta did not tell him I was coming…….both DeEtta and Ken did not recognize me..I told them it was my Col. Sanders look!

What was really neat was picking up with old friends like we never had been separated by miles!
I have to say Ken and I used to laugh so much when working together………we had so much fun! Ken and DeEtta were a blast to work for.

I praise God for all those who have been my boss………and all those who I have worked for and with……..in my nearly 35 years in this biz!!!! I PRAISE GOD for all my friendships all over the WORLD!!!!!

It was so interesting that when I was flying out to Indiana, my other old boss, Ed Moore and Jan from Indiana were in Nevada at a conference and were going to come see me and Sharon when they got done……….but……..

as it says in James 4:14……….

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.

Dewey,

We don’t order our future or our vacations. Friday morning Jan’s mother unexpentantly moved her residency to heaven after 10 years of sickness. We quickly changed our schedule and arrived home Saturday noon. We had looked forward to spending a day or two with an old friend. You came to my neighborhood with -19 degrees and I to Nevada with 65 and sun. Let’s try again in the not too distant future.

Ed

Jan is Ed’s wife and my old bosses at WFRN Radio in South Bend/Elkhart, Indiana www.wfrn.com jan’s mother’s name is Millie……..Please keep the family in your prayers. The Moore family is rejoicing that Millie went home to be with the Lord she was 89.

Got an email this morning from Chris Squires who manages the Christian station in Bakersfield, California for the parent company that owns both………American General Media……..he sent me to this scripture……….

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

AMEN!!!!

In honor Of Dr. Martin Luther King day we bring you this…………..

This from NiK…………

All Things New

One of the greatest needs in our lives is the need for restoration. To restore means, “to bring something back into existence or effect again; to bring back to a former or original condition; to put back in a former place or position; to reinstate; to return.” We talk about restoring relationships, renovating antique furniture, reinstating a political leader and returning something that was stolen or lost. These all demonstrate the idea of restoration. The essential meaning of salvation is restoration. To be saved means that we have experienced the miraculous restoring power of God to make all things new in our lives spiritually, psychologically, emotionally, and relationally.

From Genesis to Revelation, we see the God of restoration. We hear God’s message to the nation of Judah: “I will restore your judges as in days of old, your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City” (Isa 1:26).

The Psalmist prayed, “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me” (Ps 51:12). God promises, “I will restore you to health and heal your wounds” (Jer 30:17a). Paul the Apostle declares, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are new” (2 Cor 5:17).

When the Apostle John received the Revelation on the Isle of Patmos concerning the restoration of all things and the beauty of the new heaven and the new earth, he says, “And he that sat upon the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new'” (Rev 21:5). As you surrender your failures, problems and challenges to your Heavenly Father in faithful prayer, He will make all things new for you.

I missed Sharon, the kids and the dogs when I was gone and I am thankful to be at home! If the Lord will’s I will be going to the NRB convention next month www.nrb.com

Special thanks to Richard Spray, Pastor’s Don and Leonard for filling in for me!

Christ’s Love to you all! Dewey Sharon and family
