Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

In our attempt to bring you the latest on the Swine Flu or H1N1 Flu we pass along this news just in from the New Mexico Dept. Of Health. KKIM will continue to follow this story all weekend and Frank Haley will have the latest Monday morning. Stay tuned for the latest. God Bless, Dewey

NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Secretary Alfredo Vigil, MD

May 2, 2009

Number of confirmed cases in NM: 0

Number of probable cases in NM: 9

Valencia County : 18-year-old male, 15-year-old female

Santa Fe County : 1-year-old male

Socorro County : 14-year-old female, 15-year-old male

Eddy County : 17-year-old female, 22-year-old female

Hidalgo County : 17-year-old male

Bernalillo County : 27-year-old male

All cases are recovered or recovering. No new probable cases as of now.

Number of cumulative samples the Scientific Laboratory has received: 180

Number of cumulative samples tested so far: 113

New Mexico update: We are still waiting to hear from the CDC about our first two probable cases that we sent to CDC on Wednesday. We have not identified any relevant exposure to New Mexico among the nine probable cases. Epidemiology and Response Division’s investigation is ongoing for all cases. The investigation includes determining how patients may have gotten sick and who may have been exposed to H1N1. Looking at probable cases’ school attendance is a part of that. We do not have any information yet to conclude that any schools should be closed. If school closures are necessary, we would work with the Public Education Department and local school district to make that decision.

We have 140,000 treatment courses of anti-virals in New Mexico so far. We expect 210,000 additional anti-virals from the CDC. Our priority for giving anti-virals is to sick patients who need treatment. Many people who get sick will not need anti-virals.

National information about H1N1: Disease caused by the H1N1 flu virus in the United States appears to be mild so far. There are 160 confirmed cases in 21 states in the U.S. , one person has died: a toddler from Mexico visiting Texas .

Recommendations: The best thing you can do is wash your hands frequently, cover your cough with a tissue or your arm and stay home when you are sick. If sick with fever and cough or sore throat, call doctor for advice.

Dear KKIM Family,

Many of you know Sam from here at the CUP! She writes such words of wisdom…….we must come together in prayer for Sam…..read on…………

Dear Dewey,
I write this with a heavy heart. At this time my courage and my strength is at an all time low. During the Easter weekend my bad pain in my neck returned. After a few days I knew it was here to stay, the shots worked so well I had forgotten the agony. Yesterday I had more shots, after waiting all this time just knowing I’d be fine afterwards. Well, it is so bad, I can barely sit or stand still. My agony is back full force. As tears ran down my face reading your Cup, and having every fill my heart with joy. I had to write you.
Dewey, please pray that our Savior will have Mercy on me. So often I think I can’t take anymore pain. And then your Cup comes and I see I can handle anything with the Lord in my heart. And His Children Praying For Me! I just have to continue in His Mercy and cry for His strength, I have none left of my own. sam

Pastor Leonard here at the CUP responds to the need………….

Dear Sam,

Dewey sent me the email about your pain and your emptiness. We are praying for you along with hundreds of others. We may not be able to take away the pain but we know the one who is the Great Physician. It is my prayer that your eyes will be opened much like the servant of Elisha in II Kings 6:15 and 16. The servant thought that he and Elisha were all alone. But, Elisha prayed to God to open the servant’s eyes. When the servant opened his eyes he saw that the hills were filled with soldiers and chariots of fire. So I too pray that your eyes will be opened to the hundreds who are praying for you, your pain, your strength and your courage.

God’s Word offers to us much encouragement. God has promised never to leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:9, “this is my command; be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” And in Matthew 28:20, Jesus says, “be sure of this; I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Plus, Romans 8:28 and 29, “and we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.”

I can’t imagine the pain you are suffering but know this fact that God is with you and will give you the courage and strength you need to battle each day and each hour. You are not alone.

Paul writes to the church at Corinth these words in II Corinthians 1:3-7, “all praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then we can patiently endure the same things we suffer. We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.”

Sam, we may not understand your pain and suffering but we are boldly storming God’s throne on your behalf to pray to the Great Physician that He would provide comfort, healing and strength for you and to you. We are praying for you.

Yet another one, of which there are many in God’s Word, Nahum 1:7, “The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him.”

Let us pray…Dear Father in Heaven. I come to you as you have commanded us to, through the name of your son, Jesus Christ. I ask, in His name, that you bring healing, comfort, strength and freedom from pain to Sam. Father God, you know her suffering and the terrible pain she has. So I come before you pleading that you bring healing to her body, freedom from this terrible pain. Nevertheless, Father, I pray your will be done and not ours. Only You oh Father know the reason and purpose so we pray for patience as we wait on you to comfort and heal. I know that You our Father have promised never to leave us nor forsake us. So even in the midst of our pain and suffering, remind us of your presence, strength and peace. I lift up this supplication on behalf of our friend Sam. In the name that is above all names, the Lord of Lords and the Kings of kings, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Sam, our prayers are with you. May God richly bless and heal.

Your friend and brother in Jesus Christ,
Leonard

Dearest Dewey,
I just received an email from Leonard, and am so thankful you did that. His spirit-filled words made me feel so Blessed. I thank our Lord for sending you into my life. He knew I would be needing you Dewey. I could never thank you enough for all the Blessings I have received through the ‘Cup’. And all the ‘family’ around you.
God Keep You. sam

We PRAISE GOD for you Sam! You have blessed so many over the years. Sam is the artist who was commissioned to do the statue of Ken Curtis (Festus in Gunsmoke) in Clovis, California.

I love all of you here at the Cup………I know we all will come together and pray for Sam! I love being part of this GODLY family here at the CUP and KKIM!! PRAISE GOD!!!!

Let us Pray…………

Dear Lord, let us all come together for our Sister in Christ, Sam and we ask for healing for her. Let us always respond Lord, to all those in need! Let us always be there for one another, Let us always put others before ourselves. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!!!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

I PRAISE GOD FOR ALL OF YOU………..I PRAISE GOD THAT I CAN BE WITH YOU THIS DAY!!!!

I was moved yesterday by the words of Mary…….I have not met her but she stopped in at Dearholt Auto Care for an oil change, and told Jim Dearholt to tell me Thanks for making KKIM such a fantastic station. Well, Mary PRAISE GOD for all those who work for God that make KKIM a voice for GOD! I look at my part as the caretaker of KKIM. Anyhow, when I hear words of honey like those of Mary, they encourage me to go on……..We all need encouragement………and I hope that KKIM and the Cup bring you encouragement…….Encouragement in our LORD! PRAISE GOD!!!

Tonight at 8pm and two times this weekend KKIM and Rick Griffin of Albuquerque present Tony Dungy’s One hour Radio Special, “Uncommon”. It is based on Tony’s new book. For more info and more airing times this weekend go to www.mykkim.com

Don’t forget that tonight is Prayer night at Heights Christian Church at 7pm. Please join us as we gather to pray for our nation. All are welcomed!

Today……..I present to us here at the Cup, some things to “chew” on, as we used to say back home………or as Festus said at times on “Gunsmoke” this coffee is so strong you can chew it!!!!” HA! HA!

Did You Ask?

I possess good advice and competence; I have understanding and strength. Proverbs 8:14

BOTTOM LINE:

Take time today to confess your sins fearlessly, then follow up with a time of rejoicing greatly in the grace and forgiveness of God.

Chuck Swindoll, “Laughter belongs in the Church, not in the bar…….if we take laughter out of the Church, the Church will go to the bar.”

The way we tinker with our temptations and tweak our reasons for acting on them are indications that we actually enjoy dancing the tango with the Devil. Albert Haase

From Pastor Jesse, who you hear on KKIM Saturdays at 3pm, Sundays 7am and Tuesdays at 3:30………..

“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” (Romans 1:16-17).

The greatest need we have today is neither money, nor buildings, nor influence, nor tradition, nor protocol; all these though used wisely could increase our effectiveness in the proclamation and dissemination of the gospel; however, what we need is to hear the cry of the lost soul. Some Christians are so busy with crossing the Ts and dotting the Is’ of the theological and doctrinal debate that we seldom hear the cries of the lost souls. We seldom hear the cries of “I need a savior to rescue me from this body of death.”

Let’s continue to pray for each other, for the prayer of the righteous avails much!

From Perry Floyd………

Divorce happens. A bumper sticker I saw recently while driving in my fair city, read;

“Don’t worry, my gay marriage won’t effect your straight divorce.” Ouch!, That hurt.

Because the sentiment behind it is legitimate. While I am not a proponent of gay marriage, we straight Americans (and we Christian Americans) have not “done” marriage in a way as to properly represent what God had in mind when He made and brought Eve.

From Pastor Leonard…….

Someone once told me, “The secret of growing in divine wisdom is to come to God stupid. Tell Him you don’t know a thing. Tell Him you need to know how to think, how to tie your shoes, how to win friends and influence anyone!” With that kind of heart God can and will do His best work.

Found this quote. Thought of you since you are praying, “don’t let me do anything stupid”.

From Arthur Wood…………

I will do more than belong———I will participate.

I will do more than care————I will help.

I will do more than I believe——-I will practice.

I will do more than be fair———I will be kind.

I will do more than forgive———I will forget.

I will do more than dream———I will work.

I will do more than teach———–I will inspire.

I will do more than earn————-I will enrich.

I will do more than give—————I will serve.

I will do more than live—————-I will grow.

I will do more than suffer———-I will triumph.

American Founding Father Thomas Pain wrote in “The America Crises”…….”The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”

From Dewey………

“I miss the “Old Spice” generation………The WWII Generation……….I still get Old Spice from Lars at Christmas because he knows how much I loved my Dad who would use Old Spice aftershave……..Dad was a SGT. In the Marines during WWII.When we smelled Old Spice around the house when I was a kid when know everything was GOOD! Dad was home! The WWII Generation is rapidly passing away and I miss their wisdom……common sense………hard work. PS I still wear Old Spice now and then to remind me of my Dad.

“We cannot talk to God unless we walk with HIM when we are not talking”. Oswald Chambers

25% of all Americans alive at this moment have never known a world without the Internet and Internet access. That represents 75 million Americans who consider going online as natural as turning on the TV or cooking something in the microwave oven.
Boy that makes me feel OLD!!!! Source: harrisinteractive.com

“If Americans can be divorced for “incompatibility of temper” I cannot conceive why they are not all divorced. I have known many happy marriages, but never a compatible one. The whole aim of marriage is to fight through and survive the instant when incompatibility becomes unquestionable. For a man and a women, as such, are incompatible.” THIS WAS SAID IN 1910!!!!! I REPEAT 1910 by G.K. Chesterton “What’s Wrong With the World”

IDLE HANDS, THE DEVILS WORKSHOP………….

Idle hands make one poor; but diligent hands bring riches Proverbs 10:4

Our obsession with whether prayer works is the WRONG question. We know prayer works. The real question is, are we prepared for God’s answer?

If we spend all our effort on our own white-knuckled struggle against a temptation, it grows bigger and bigger. Glen H. Stassen

Here is the mailbag………….Love to get mail!!! Drop us a line of encouragement, okay?
