Dear KKIM Family,
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. ~ Proverbs 27:17
A Good thing to ask ourselves………..
If my holiness is not drawing others to Him, it is not the right kind of holiness Oswald Chambers
Are you and I helping others come to Christ?
Worry is a down payment on a problem you may never have. Joyce Meyer
Amen to that……..
Years ago when I started in radio at KGCX in Sidney, Montana……I was adopted by Craig and Anita Price a young man heads west and the Price’s brought me into their family and the community! When I got sick and spent 3 weeks in the hospital Anita helped bring me back to health, so after she read I have the gunk….she writes……
]You need to come to our house so I can take care of you like I did many years ago!!! I’ll be praying for you and those who are ill.
Also these dogs and cats are a part of the family – we have a dog named Hunter-Craig’s best friend. He is getting old (Hunter & Craig).
God Bless You…..Anita
Love you and Craig!! Franchesca also helped me during that time of illness.
Maybe like some of you…..I was so blessed at times in my life and did not know how much the Lord loves me and looks after me. I am very thankful for all of you!
Got this note from Andi (short for Andrea) with Dr. Larry Crabbs office. Have you read any of his books? They are AWESOME! Andi sent me 66 Love Letters, a new book by Dr. Crabb. Andi also sent me Real Church also by Dr. Crabb. Andi reads the Cup and enjoys it! We love iot that we have her with us!
Sounds like you got the books. Great. Enjoy the read. And I appreciate all that you do for His kingdom. The way you connect us is a blessing to me everyday. Thanks for the time you invest in us,
Andi (short for Andrea)-Just fyi-no harm! Not the first time someone thought I was a guy!

Amish Grace Movie……….
Grace Hill is promoting a Lifetime Movie Network original film called AMISH GRACE, which airs this Sunday night, March 28. Being a male, I am not likely part of LMN’s target demographic. And out of the hundreds of films Grace Hill has marketed, we’ve done just a couple of TV movies. So you may ask, “Why this one?” Though I will not likely admit this to my wife, the movie is actually very good (in my opinion). Not only is it based on a true story, but it’s compelling and very well acted.
AMISH GRACE is also an interesting story about forgiveness. Not just, “hey, we’re called to forgive” type of story. It’s one in which a character can forgive someone of a horrific tragedy, yet struggles to forgive others on a significantly smaller matter.
I wanted to put it on your radar, and hope you would share with your audience.
Sincerely,
Ted Gartner

copes with the tragic loss of her daughter during the shooting and subsequent
questioning of her faith.

We’re not the only ones that like it. Critics are fans too:
“Riveting, emotionally stirring, a powerful TV experience.”
Phil Boatwright, Preview On Line
“Amish Grace is a powerful television production that belies its simplicity. The performances are strong, unadorned, and credible. The filmmakers avoid explicit violence by suggesting it instead. They chose to make a movie about, and with, grace and they have succeeded. As I watched the film, I just let the story wash over me and I could not stop crying.”
Sister Rose Pacatte
Catholic Exchange
“It was harrowing, exhausting, and amazing to watch this story unfold…It will move you to understand how faith and forgiveness go hand in hand to help people move beyond the most difficult and heart wrenching experiences…It’s forever changed my views of how to have faith and how to forgive whenever I feel forgiveness isn’t an option.”
Nicole Smith
Lifetime Moms
“Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Ida gives a terrific performance”…”The story is well written and moves along quickly”…”Amish Grace is a gripping story that is profoundly touching and contains a message of grace that is sure to inspire.” “It will bring many to tears and many more to a deeper understanding of God’s amazing grace in Jesus Christ.”
Dr. Ted Baehr and Jeff Holder
MovieGuide.com
“This is a gentle, well-crafted, made-for-TV movie about a difficult subject done with dignity, insight, and yes, grace.”
Christian Science Monitor
“Amish Grace is a portrayal of how forgiveness can overcome tragedy. Emotions are shown as very real but something that can be guided by Christian teaching if one has the desire. It’s a movie both simple and complex in Bible teachings.”
Patti Maguire Armstrong
Catholic Exchange
We will be watching this movie, Lord Willing………
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
