| December 13, 2011. Be prepared for a joy uprising. Life has not been a bed of roses lately. Disappointments and challenges have popped up everywhere it seems. This is not what you have desired. But I tell you to release the joy that is within you. Recall to yourself how the Lord lives within your heart. Quote to yourself and out loud, “The joy of the Lord is my strength!” This a statement of fact, whether you feel like it or not. The joy that will give you daily strength is not your own joy but rather, it is the joy of the Lord. Therefore, release the brakes. Slip into an expression of His joy. Rejoice!

Buying or being involved in things that are not for your best interest will cause much anxiety. Guard against greed. I supply what you need and some of what you want. You ask Me for more when you don’t have enough, but you don’t come to Me for wisdom as readily when you have more than meets your needs. Moderation is the key. You understand My principle that when you give you will be given to, but also spend wisely what you have. Greed, abundance and prosperity are not the same. Luke 12:15 (NLT) “Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” Bev Robinson – This prophetic gospel ministry and helping helpless kids has great needs right now.

We have this note from Pastor Ray Franks….
Thanks Dewey! Becky does need prayer! I will send update soon.
Let us keep Pastor Ray’s lovely wife Becky in our prayers.
Let’s have a Christmas giveaway here!
Good morning, Dewey:
Thank you so very much for requesting my book so you can promote it on your program. I’m so sorry that I could not make it personally that day. I had set an appointment to do a Prayer March that day and I wanted to get the books to you immediately. But I do want you to know how much I appreciate your love and kindness.
Because you sow so much love and kindness, I know that you reap in kind. “For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.” (Hebrews 6:10 NASB)
Thank you for the CUP. It is always so full!
Love and Shalom!
Barbara

Karen Rowe said this after reading the write up below on Tim Tebow……
Karen Rowe I saved this to my favorites and may print. Tebow makes me want to watch football! Also a bit sad at some of the comments … some people really don’t believe there is a God … makes me pray for them. Thanks for sharing this Dewey.
Karen I am not really a football fan, but like you, Tebow makes me want to watch. I watched the end of the Denver/Chicago game.WOW! The sports announcer that interviewed him at the end of the game, was really bothered by Tebow’s answers and when Tebow ended by saying God Bless you….did you see the disgust in the sports announcer’s face? The announcer turned quickly and left.
Tim Tebow is such Salt and Light! What a testimony! Let us all be Salt and Light!
Here’s a Secular news write up on Tim Tebow……..
Tim Tebow’s Gospel of Optimism
By FRANK BRUNI
CAN God take credit for the victories of a thick-set N.F.L. quarterback who scrambles in a weirdly jittery fashion, throws one of the ugliest balls in the game, completes fewer than half of his passes and has somehow won six of his team’s last seven games?
That’s a question that actually hovers over the miraculous success of the Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, and at this blessed juncture it’s a silly one, because the answer is unequivocal: Yes. Tebow is powered by conviction and operating on faith, and so are the teammates he’s leading. And you needn’t be an evangelical Christian (as he is), a seriously religious person or even a football fan to be transfixed and enlightened by his example. I speak as a football fan only when I say the following, which I never expected to: The mile-high messiah has a gospel for us all.
You’re most likely familiar with his story, but just in case: the Broncos were 1-4 when the coaches benched the first-string quarterback and started Tebow, and there was a sense that they did so because they’d lost hope for the season and figured that they might as well silence his pesky, persistent advocates by letting him try and watching him fail. Although he had been a superstar at the University of Florida, his physique and style of play weren’t supposed to translate to the pros. That, at least, was the conventional wisdom. And as a lifelong Broncos loyalist with a knot in my stomach, I shared it.
Tebow won his first game, despite a 15-point deficit with three minutes to go. He won all but one of the next six, often in squeaker finishes involving late comebacks. The Broncos are now 7-5 and have a good shot at the playoffs, especially if they knock off the Chicago Bears this weekend. They’re favored to do precisely that, partly because the Bears’ starting quarterback, Jay Cutler, is out with a bum thumb. During a conference call with reporters last week, Tebow was actually asked by a Chicago scribe to pray for the woebegone digit.
Which brings us back to religion. With Tebow there’s no getting away from it. He uses the microphones thrust in front of him to mention his personal savior, Jesus Christ, and has said that heaven is reserved for devout Christians. He genuflects so publicly and frequently that to drop to one knee in the precise way he does has been given its own word, along with its own Web site, where you can see photographs of people Tebowing inside St. Peter’s, in front of the Taj Mahal, on sand, on ice and even underwater.
That zeal doesn’t go over so well with many football enthusiasts, me included. Tebow performs a sort of self-righteous bait-and-switch — you come for scrimmages and he subjects you to scriptures — and the displeasure with that is also writ colorfully on the Web, in Tebow-ridiculing Twitter feeds and Facebook pages, one devoted entirely to snapshots through time of Tebow in tears. An emotional man, he has traveled a weepy path to this point.
But the intensity of the derision strikes me as unwarranted, in that it outdoes anything directed at, say, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, accused repeatedly of sexual assault, or other players actually convicted of burglary, gun possession and other crimes. In a league full of blithe felons, Tebow and his oppressive piety don’t seem like such horrendous affronts at all.
Besides which, to get lost in the nature of his Christianity is to miss the ecumenical, secular epiphanies in his — and the Broncos’ — extraordinary season. Their sudden turnaround isn’t just thrilling. It illustrates the limits of logic and the shortcomings of the most quickly made measurements and widely cited metrics.
In sports as in politics, business and so much else, we like to think that we’ve broken down the components of achievement and that, looking at those components, we can predict who (and what) will prevail. But if any football analyst at the start of this season had said that a quarterback averaging under 140 yards of passing a game — that’s Tebow’s sorry statistic — would have a 6-1 record as a starter and be considered the linchpin of his team, few people would have bought it.
BUT Tebow tends to have his worst 45 minutes of play when it matters least and his best 15 when it matters most. And while he makes many mistakes, their cost is seldom exorbitant. These aren’t so much skills as tendencies — inclinations — that prove to be every bit as consequential as the stuff of rankings and record books. He reminds us that strength comes in many forms and some people have what can be described only as a gift for winning, which isn’t synonymous with any spreadsheet inventory of what it supposedly takes to win.
This gift usually involves hope, confidence and a special composure, all of which keep a person in the game long enough, with enough energy and stability, so that a fickle entity known as luck might break his or her way. For Tebow that state of mind comes from his particular relationship with his chosen God and is a matter of religion. For someone else it might be understood and experienced as the power of positive thinking, and is a matter of psychology. Either way it boils down to stubborn optimism and bequeaths a spark. A swagger. An edge.
It’s easy to be pessimistic about optimism. When peddled generically by unctuous politicians, it can seem the ultimate opiate, a cop-out and fallback when there’s nothing more substantive to sustain you. But optimism can have an impact. It’s what radiates from Tebow and fires up the Broncos. And therein lies a lesson about leadership with a resonance beyond football.
After Tebow took over, the Broncos didn’t add a whole, half or even quarter roster of better players. But he told his teammates, “Believe in me.” And he must have done so with a persuasive charisma. They clearly have a renewed belief in themselves — and are performing better than before.
The Broncos are the talk of the league. More and more people are watching. And you could indeed say they’re tuning in to find out how far God can take a team. Because that’s just another way of saying how far grit can.
Let us keep Tim Tebow in our prayers!
Let’s Check in with Dr. Joe for our Medical Bag………
Ladies, here’s how to get rid of that notorious “jiggle arm fat”.
Of all my years of being in the health care industry, the arm area (shoulders, triceps, and biceps) has proven to be a hotspot of attention for most women.
So why do a lot of ladies find their arms so “unbearable” in the first place?
The answer lies in the fact that like your hips and thighs, the back of the upper arm is a spot where women typically store fat.
Without healthy diet and exercise, the fat storage combined with flabby triceps muscles can leave you with the “jiggly” appearance most women “hate”. The good news is that upper-arm exercises with hand weights can provide some pretty quick gratification.
I have to say, though, that beyond looking good in whatever outfit you want to wear, having strong arms is a very good thing! If you regularly do upper body exercises, I guarantee you’ll get a kick out of how much stronger and self-reliant you’ll feel…instead of asking for help with those stubborn jars, you’ll be able to open them yourself…garbage bags and laundry baskets will feel lighter…picking up your toddlers or grandchildren will feel better, look better and be better.
If you start today and are consistent, you’ll feel stronger and look sleeker in 4 to 6 weeks.
Here are a few exercises to get you started…
Four Exercises for Sleeker, Stronger Arms
*For all four moves below, choose hand weights that are heavy enough to fatigue somewhere between 12-15 repetitions. If you can do 15 reps and feel like it is easy, try something a little heavier…but don’t overdo it either!
1. Front Shoulder Raise: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding weights down in front of your thighs, palms facing you. Keeping your elbows slightly bent, raise your arms up in front of you until they are parallel to the floor. Don’t shrug—keep shoulders relaxed and don’t raise your arms above shoulder level. Lower back to starting position.
2. Lateral Shoulder Raise: Standing with your feet hip-width apart, hold weights at your sides this time, palms facing each other. Keeping elbows slightly bent, raise arms straight out to the sides until they are parallel to the floor. Again do not go higher than your shoulder level. Lower back to starting position.
3. Biceps Curl: This is a classic. With feet hip to shoulder width apart and knees bent slightly, hold a weight in each hand with your arms down by your sides, palms facing forward. Bend your elbows to lift the weights toward your shoulders, stopping when they are at chest height, palms facing your body. Slowly lower back to the starting position.
4. Triceps Overhead Press: Stand with feet hip-width apart (or sit in a chair). Clasp one weight with both hands. Extend your arms straight overhead, elbows close to your ears. Bend your elbows to slowly lower the weight behind you. Keep your elbows close to your ears. Contract your triceps and straighten your elbows to return to the starting position.
Body Weight Exercises can also be very Effective:
Push-ups: Stretch out on the mat or floor, or if you are a beginner, start on your knees instead of your toes. Keep your hands under your shoulders and a little wider than shoulder-width. Bend your elbows to a 90-degree angle and lower your body, keeping your abs tight. Don’t sag in the low back – keep a neutral spine. This is also a great exercise to strengthen your abs and lose fat weight there, too.
Triceps dips: Sit on a bench, with your hands next to your thighs. Lift your butt off the seat and move your body so it’s slightly in front of the seat. Keep your knees slightly bent. Bend at the elbows and lower your body several inches. Keep your shoulders relaxed and elbows pointed back. Push back up to starting position.
