Incline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am godly;
save Your servant, who trusts in You
—You are my God.
Psalm 86:1-2
“…………..that through endurance and through
the encouragement of the Scriptures,
we might have hope.”
Romans 15:4
My Dear friends also surround your self with other believers like I did today for prayer and wise Biblical counsel.
Dear KKIM family,
In this Cup: A great, great heart warming story that Shauna sent us on KEEP YOUR FORK!
Clyde is thankful for the CUP! Matthew 5 style:
And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.
Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
Matt: 5: 1-2
So wonderful to hear from you Clyde! Love having a Cup with you everyday, or almost everyday!
I want to thank Pastor Steve Somtherman and Pastor Derek Smith of Legacy Church for being with me yesterday on The Radio version of Dewey’s Daily Cup and New Mexico News and Views. They have dissected about 300 pages of the Same Sex marriage bill(This yrs bill is over 800 pgs, last yrs bill just 11 pages!) and they were able to relay many of the awful things in this bill. You can hear a major portion of this interview again at 5:05pm Saturday, 6:15am and 5:20pm Sunday.
The Domestic Partnership bill is a Same Sex marriage Bill, don’t be fooled!
I give Praise and Thanks to the Lord for people like Pastor Steve and Derek! I give Praise and Thanks to the Lord for KKIM and the CUP, where we can give out solid Biblical information…..more than a 30 sec sound bite.
Where else are you going to hear the info that was put out yesterday?
Dissecting of this bill??? This unGodly bill!!!
Please keep KKIM and the CUP in your prayers as we go forth in the Truth of Jesus Christ!
By the way go to www.mykkim.com for info on how you can help defeat this unGodly bill.
I got a Tweet from Pastor Leonard that he is back home safely from India! PRAISE GOD!
Please keep Sharon and I and the kids in your prayers.
From Oswald Chambers………
The Bible not only explains God, it explains the world in which we live in; it explains not only things that are right, but things that are wrong.If we can start out with the idea that everything is going well and all is bright and happy and then there is an earthquake, or someone is killed by lightning, or there are tremendous floods, or a shocking murder, or worse crime, the idea with which we started out will be flatly contradicted by the world outside, that is, by the facts we see and know. The Bible and the outside world agree, but both the Bible and the outside world are an absolute puzzle to us until we receive the Spirit of God.
Here is a wonderful story for us all today from Shauna…very heart warming…….encouraging……..
Young woman and her fork
There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things ‘in order,’ she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes.
She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.
Everything was in order and the Pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. ‘There’s one more thing,’ she said excitedly.
‘What’s that?’ came the Pastor’s reply.
‘This is very important,’ the young woman continued. ‘I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.’
The Pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
‘That surprises you, doesn’t it?’ the young woman asked.
‘Well, to be honest, I’m puzzled by the request,’ said the Pastor.
The young woman explained. ‘My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, ‘Keep your fork.’ It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming…like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!’
So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder ‘What’s with the fork?’ Then I want you to tell them: ‘Keep your fork ..the best is yet to come.’
The Pastor’s eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. She KNEW that something better was coming.
At the funeral people were walking by the young woman’s casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the Pastor heard the question, ‘What’s with the fork?’ And over and over he smiled.
During his message, the Pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her. He told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.
He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork let it remind you, ever so gently, that the best is yet to come. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. Cherish the time you have, and the memories you share.
Being friends with someone is not an opportunity but a sweet responsibility.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND even if it means sending back to the person who sent it to you……
Oh, and keep your fork.
Thank you so much Shauna for sharing..God Bless you!
Let’s go to the mailbag……….
Hi Dewey,
Thanks for the Cup today,
There are many mornings that we drink together.
Blessings (Matt 5 style),
Clyde Moore
Dearest Dewey and Family,
I was so blessed this morning by the ‘Cup. I needed to hear those words. Yes, Hear. Even though they are written words, they are ‘Alive. And seep into your soul. Only Gods Children has that ability to write ‘His words and have them touch you so.
Dewey, Please remember me in your prayers. This wet weather we have had is taking its toll. I can’t even lift a gallon of milk, or it brings on Agony on my neck. I can’t even put on my socks. I keep thinking it will get better, with the weather, but looks like I will have to go in for more shots in my neck. Pain really brings you to your knees. I’ve heard it is a disease all of its own. And I believe that. It can control your life, when its all you feel. BBBUT…. God Knows! God Cares! and God is With Me through it all, so what else can I ask for. Other than for His Children to remember me in Prayer.
You spoke of losing people sometime when you are on fire for the Lord. They can’t take it apparently. Do Not Worry Dewey, they have heard YOU. They will not forget No matter how hard they try. The Word sticks like glue. And always returns when we need it most.
Dewey, Sharon was given to you. Listen when she says you are spreading yourself too thin. Slow down a bit, and you will be rewarded. Some times we all need someone to intervein when we are ‘over doing. I can hear you now, “How can we over do for the Lord”?. Well, sometimes we just need to sit still and listen. Sharon is the one that sees you all the time, and for your GOOD, she is the one God has assigned to tell you “its time to sit still and meditate on His Goodness”..:) We all love you and cherish you and want you to stay healthy!! sincerely, sam
Thanks for the kind words, Clyde and Sam!
Let us pray………….
Lord we thank you for all those that share your Word, Pastor Steve, Pastor Derek, Shauna, Clyde, Sam, Pastor Leonard…….in the name of Jesus, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

There is nothing like it!!!!!!!!!!
