Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

This makes it all worth while having a Ministry when one reaches out like Gwen…….How wonder Gwen! Gwen is asking for prayer for her health and that she finds a Church through prayer. Gwen is not pretending that she need’s to be around God’s people……..Thank you for your note this morning Gwen and we are praying! Your note is a HUGE blessing and encouragement to many!

As it says in Psalm 95:4 In HIS hand are the deepest places of the earth. HIS hand reaches all of us, no matter where we are at in life. We just need to ask for it.

Hi Dewey,
I’d like to be put on your prayer list.
Ever since trying hormones for a couple months this summer, I’ve had a weird urinary/bladder problem going on. None of my doctors know what it is or what to do about it. I’ve been unable to carry on a lot of things in my life and have been staying home. I so much want to get out there and work for the Lord, especially doing something with a food ministry. We’ve also wanted to start attending our local church, but have been unable to. We’ve been away from church for many years, and it’s now my hearts desire to be able to go and get involved. Please pray that this will get resolved, either through God’s miracle, or that me and the doctors will find out what the problem is and be able to fix it.
Thank you and God bless,
Gwen

As just heard on KKIM during “Grace To You” with John Mc Arthur the Church is a hospital,it is not for perfect people..it is for people like you and me. John stated that once God’s people realize this we all will be better off.

Psalm 18:2

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.

Gwen, We have many Pastor’s who are part of the KKIM family………We will be praying for a home Church for you and your family.

I want to thank GOD for the ministry of KKIM and the Cup………I want to PRAISE GOD for all of you! Please pray and make sure now and read in 2nd. Peter before Wed.

Sing unto the Lord a new song………..Psalm 96:1

Love, Dewey Sharon and family

Good Day KKIM Family,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Glad to have you with us today!

I hope people like Merry and Janetta, who never get time off had a wonderful time during this Thanksgiving holiday!!!

In Peter’s Second Epistle he urges believers to keep close watch on their personal lives. The Christian life demands diligence in pursuing moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and selfless love. We are going to talk more about that today and also in our next cup. But pray over what Peter wanted us to do……..keep a close watch on our personal lives. I have to tell you this is why we have the Cup and KKIM..to help each other in our personal lives…in our daily walk with Jesus Christ. My mentor Ed Moore taught me – ago at WFRN. Ed and I always do not agree on things…….but we can be honest with each other and not pretend to agree……….more on pretending in this cup. How many times do you pretend to agree?

I got a call from my dear friend Paul Young of CRI and he wished our family a Happy Thanksgiving and told me he heard a Pastor say we should call it, “Thanksgiving Life” everyday!!!. Because we should be thankful each and everyday for our life! I think that is AWESOME!!!

Thanks to you all who called and emailed greetings to us!

We have these prayer needs……….

Please pray for my Father-In-Law Roger Altman who according to the Doctor’s is now in the final stages of Alzheimer. Please keep Roger, Sharon and her whole family in your prayers.

Please pray for Patty of Elk Grove, California……Her mother Joanne passed away Saturday and Patty has been diagnosed with cancer. Patty is Sharon’s good friend from her High School days.

A Couple of notes on prayer………

Prayer is hunger for God, and having a genuine hunger for God, and having a genuine hunger for God is the beginning of prayer. Our genuine desire to know God us an actual prayer, and genuine prayer makes us hungry for God. Genuine Prayer is GOD-hunger!!!

AMEN!!!

By the way when you have to wait in line or our sitting to be seen at an office………..flip out your cell phone and go to your directory and pray for each person on your cell phone directory.

If your like me, I still don’t have all the names in the cell phone I still use the old fashion address/phone book I carry with me every where.

When I type the cup and see all of your addresses I pray for you!!!!

When you operate in the “carnal corral”, you operate under a cloak of secrecy. You don’t want to be accountable. You don’twant anybody asking. So you cover up. I am sure many of you have seen the true story about the life of Sgt. Alvin York, starring Gary Cooper. Just google Sgt. York and you will get plenty of info.I was watching the movie once again this weekend and it came to me that what a life Sgt. York lived once he gave his life to Jesus Christ.He moved mountains in WW 1. I pray for more men and women like Sgt. York. We are desperately in need of Christian Heroes! Sharon and I would love to travel to Tennessee and view the area where Sgt. York was from. He helped build two schools after his army service in the area where he grew up. He grew up in extreme poverty.What is wrong with this picture?As Bloody scenes from India where shown on TV back here in America…………We had what is called “Black Friday”………People camping out in front of stores all night to buy “STUFF”…………We have a Wal-Mart worker trampled to death by shoppers………..We have two people shot and killed in a Toy store…………In civilized America…….First of all why in America call any day Black Friday at the start of the season when we prepare for our Saviors birthday………..and then we have people hurting each other and spending all night outside to get in line to buy what??? STUFF……..I don’t know about you…… but this makes me physically ill.I know this………..it is a huge statement on the heart and soul condition of America.

When we were kid’s we always were pretending to me fireman, or policeman, or army men………..We loved to play! But here isthe question to ponder today………… Are any of us Pretending to be a Christian???I am reading the book Chuck Swindoll wrote about David…………..As usual Swindoll does an AWESOME job………David has his bad times in his life and walks away from God………….Chuck pick’s it up from there………..David Sows the wind………As David opts for this lifestyle, the winds and storms of life begin to increase in a rather rapid movement of events.First of all, a duplicity begins to mark David’s steps. Webster says that duplicity is “deception by pretending.”You pretend to entertain one set of feelings, but you’re operating from another entirely. (Dewey comment:I think this type of behavior can be popular in Christian circles, and it prevents the people of God from moving forward) Deep inside, David is an Israelite. He will always be an Israelite. But he’s trying to make the Philistines think that he is on their side.That’s what happens when you spend your time in what a Pastor friend of mine calls the “carnal corral.” Inside, you’re a believer, buton the outside you want to look like the rest of the world. There’s a lack of absolute allegiance. This miserable dilemma creates theneed to compromise. And that’s precisely what David begins to act out.Dewey’s comments:After committing many sins David does come back to God. Our God is forever forgiving.Are you ever totally at ease with who you are?Are you ever totally in comfort with yourself?I struggle with that at times………and that’s why I pray and read God’s word daily. Like David I seek the Lord’s heart.In our daily walk with Jesus Christ we need the help of others……………surround yourself with Men and Women of God, so that we don’ttake the road that David once took.One final question…..In any parts of your life, are you pretending?

To be so quick to answer ……..Think about it……pray about it.

Here is a letter I did not get to post in our Thanksgiving posting……….it is a HUGE blessing………

Hello Dewey,Just a note to wish you and Sharon and your KKIM family a blessed Thanksgiving celebration. I especially want to thank all the men and women who teach on KKIM and bring God’s Word in faithfulness to your audience. Many are national ministries and teachers, and we so appreciate their expertise and example, but I am especially thankful for the local pastors and teachers who step out in faith to be a blessing to your listeners each day. Unless the LORD builds the house,They labor in vain who build it;Unless the LORD guards the city,The watchman stays awake in vain. — Psm. 127:1These folks do a great job letting the LORD build the house — and so do you! God bless.Pastor Don Kimbro Heights Christian Church
Host of Nuggets of Truth on KKIM weekday mornings at 7:30

Thank you Pastor Don for those words………I will always remember the words of Tom Lewis of Cross International………”It really is Praise worthy what God has done with KKIM…….such a wonderful non-denominational Radio Ministry…so many New Mexico Pastor’s involved”.

With that I will leave you until next time……Grace and Peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord………..Dewey Sharon and family

Please read your Bible Today……..Read in 2nd Peter today………

www.deweysdailycup.com

Dear KKIM Family,
I Praise God that we can come together today!

As we come together to celebrate Thanksgiving, let us reflect on the following………..

Do I have the kind of LOVE that perseveres even though I see no visible results?

How much of my life do I spend engaged in my primary pursuit of glorifying GOD?

WOW!! That will make you think!

Our fathers……cried to YOU, and were delivered, they trusted in YOU, and were not ashamed. Psalm 22: 4-5

It is good for me to draw near to GOD, I have put my trust in the LORD GOD. Psalm 73:28

I pray that if you do not read your Bible daily, that during Thanksgiving you will start to do so, you will be blessed.

Many of you are traveling……..We pray for your safety! I hope you get to read the Cup wherever you are at, and also don’t forget you can listen to KKIM anywhere in the world at http://www.mykkim.com/

Got a call from Glorettia yesterday asking if KKIM is on 24 hours a day…….and yes it is………she was so grateful because she wanted to leave her radio on KKIM as she and her husband left town for thanksgiving and wanted the cats to have KKIM on to keep them company! THAT MADE MY DAY!!!!!! We have more COOL CATS listening to us than any other radio station!!!

Make sure and read all the heart warming stories that we have posted today! Please drink the whole cup today……..

I want to thank you all for being part of the KKIM family. We give thanks to GOD for all of you! Thank you for your support of the KKIM Radio Ministry!!! You all keep us plugging along and your emails and show of support mean so much!!! We have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day and EVERYDAY!!!

The wonders of the LORD……….We have Thanksgiving Greetings from Malaysia!!!
Dear Dewey,Happy Thanksgiving Day to you and Family.Tan Tian in Malaysia
How AWESOME is that!!!!
Our God has made us one…….In HIM our hearts unite.

When we, HIS children, share HIS love, Our joy is HIS delight!!!

AMEN!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Great to hear from you Tan……..we have listeners all over GOD’s world!!!

Please keep all the folks at Immanuel Lutheran Church in your prayers as part of their School was damaged by fire early Tuesday morning. Pastor Randy Walquist told us last night on New Mexico News and Views it looks like the cause of the fire is arson. How sad! The part of the school the burned was the original 1932 school. Please keep this in your prayers.

Today on New Mexico News and Views we are going to have the reporter who first reported shots being fired at the JFK caravan. Frank Haley has collected a lot of radio sound from that day and we will look back 45 years ago at that dark day in American history.

Let’s check the mailbag for your thoughts on Thanksgiving Day…….

I am only a helper in the kitchen (I can cut some mean vegetables, and I am an expert potato peeler). But, my personal favorite is my wife’s stuffing for the turkey. This year, we are going to a friend’s home for the big meal, so my wife promised our family she would make a Turkey on Christmas Eve so we won’t have to go without her special stuffing.

One other treat on Thanksgiving morning is Spingee’s (my spelling is probably wrong) It is an Italian treat of fried bread dough pieces rolled in sugar. Once again, a treat to savor on special occasions….

God’s blessings to everyone!

Dave Meurer
Hi Dewey – I, too, was up at 4:30 this morning. Sometimes it feels good to sit in the dark and think. I usually think about my family and pray they are all ok. Then I can hear Craig snoring (even tho he says he doesn’t snore) and thank God for him. I usually relax after my praying and fall asleep again. We are having Craig’s sister, Patti for dinner. Her daughter Jodi and her family are coming too. Instead of the traditional turkey, we are having chicken and noodles (homemade noodles) with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, salads, a vegetable and of course, pumpkin pie. Lots of starch!!! Wish you were here to help us celebrate!!Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!Anita
Dearest Dewey, and family.
I pray your Thanksgiving is trully the best one ever.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a favorite recipe to send you. You see I love them all!!
Thanksgiving is suppose to be a day of greetings and hugs, family and food. And most of all the thankfulness we share for all that the Lord has done for us.
And this year all of the family of the ‘Cup’ and you Dewey and Sharon, will be part of my Thanksgiving, I am so very thankful to have you in my life,
Sincerely, Sam of ca.

Dewey, I’m thankful for my husband. 22 years ago when we got married I told him I would never stick my hand in a turkey cavity. Soooo, for the last 22 years he has prepared our holiday turkeys while leaving the less “creepy” things, like stuffing and rolls, to me. Dumplings are a big tradition from his side of the family and Warren has prepared them faithfully as well. Now, it’s such a blessing to watch my 19 year-old son stand next to his dad and prepare dumplings with a mix of enjoyment and pride. Although my son, like me, isn’t a big fan of creepy turkey things, I love the “like father, like son” part of the dumplings.Blessings,shona
Hi Dewey!A week or so ago, you played an audio book for several days running chronicling the struggles and victories of the pilgrims as they crossed the sea and then began settling the new world. I would like to buy that audio book but I can’t recall the title or the author’s name: could you help me out?Thanks!!Ray
Hi ray, That was a wonderful series aired on Family Life Today! It was AWESOME, go to http://www.mykkim.com/ and go to the program guide and you can find Family Life Today info by clicking and going to their web site! Thanks for writing!

And now we have some very cool things to share with you this Thanksgiving………

First of all this news item appeared in the Goshen Indiana Newspaper about Kyle Martin who you hear Sundays at 8:30am on KKIM and myself……..

By Monica JosephTHE GOSHEN NEWS
Middlebury native Kyle Martin said he believes God “opened amazing doors” out of the “trials and tribulations” of his week-long revival in Sante Fe, N.M. — including one door that offered him his own radio program on Sunday mornings.Dewey Moede, the former marketing manager for Elkhart’s WFRN , is now station manager at KKIM AM and FM Christian radio in Albuquerque and Sante Fe. He interviewed Martin twice on the air promoting the revival. After the media began reporting on a quote on Martin’s Revive Sante Fe Web site regarding homosexuality, Moede called and offered Martin air time to do a press conference on the media reports. A group of Santa Fe pastors joined with Martin “to take a stance with me that this message is of Jesus Christ and of love,” Martin said.Moede said of the press conference: “It was cool. I had never seen anything like this. Ten different churches were represented. It was a good discussion. It helped the media understand what it (the revival) was all about.”On Martin’s last day in Santa Fe, Moede called and asked if he would be willing to have his own radio spot, Reviving the Church, on Sunday mornings. The station reaches the whole state and localsouthern Colorado, Moede said, and is available via Web stream across the world. People in this area can listen to Kyle through a Web stream at mykkim.com at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern time) Sundays, Moede said.The first seven Sundays of the radio show were devoted to playing recorded messages from the revival. After that, Martin will record his messages in Dallas and send them to Moede to play each week. “When you step out on faith, you have no idea how God is going to bless you,” Martin said.Moede said it was Martin’s “passion for the Lord, word of God,” that prompted his offer of a radio spot. “Christian radio is in need young people like Kyle to replace God’s people who are passing on,” Moede said.
AMEN!!! We are thankful for that story and my prayer it will lead more folks to the KKIM family of God.
Our buddy Nik sent this in……it is AWESOME!!!

Good morning…

As we turn the corner towards “Thanksgiving” I believe this message will be a blessing to most of us. Because I have Christ, I have life and am so thankful that each of you are a part of it.

A Moment of ThanksDr. David Jeremiah

Life is hard, and every day is challenging. You may be wondering just now if you can go on. Perhaps another person is vexing you. Perhaps you’ve been maligned or criticized. You’re discouraged with unanswered prayer. Maybe you’re feeling like Elijah under the broom tree, wanting to die.
Try praying with thanksgiving. A thankful attitude is the cure for many emotional ailments. Take depression, for example. What is depression or discouragement except the total collapse of thanksgiving in our lives?
Thanksgiving is also the opposite of discontent. It’s easy for us to become disgruntled with various factors in our lives; but let’s be like one man who was thankful…

* For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.* For all the complaining I hear about the government because it means that I have freedom of speech.* For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am alive.* For the teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching TV because that means he is at home and not on the streets.* For the taxes that I pay because it means that I’m employed.* For the lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.* For weariness at the end of the day because it means I have been capable of working hard.* For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.

Thanksgiving is the opposite of anxiety. Philippians 4:6: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Worship and worry cannot live in the same heart. They are mutually exclusive, according to Ruth Graham.
Thanksgiving is also the corrective for sadness and even grief. While working on a message from Psalm 100, my phone rang. It was from a family dear to me. Our children were about the same age and had played together growing up.

The caller told me there had been an accident in the woods, and a portion of a tree had fallen on one of the boys. He’d been pinned for over an hour before the ambulance arrived, and it appeared the young man would be paralyzed from the waist down. His spinal cord had been crushed.

Well, that just destroyed my afternoon. I couldn’t get it out of my mind. This was a blond-headed kid, very athletic, full of life; and in one moment, his life was shattered and changed. I wrestled with my own thoughts and emotions until evening, then I placed a call to the intensive care unit of the hospital. Frankly, I didn’t know what to say; but I didn’t have to say much at all. The boy’s father ended up comforting me.

He said, “Pastor, I want you to know that my wife and I are, first of all, thankful that our son is alive. Second, we’re thanking God that it wasn’t the upper part of his body that was paralyzed. And thirdly, though we don’t understand why, we know God is good and that somehow in the midst of this, He has a plan for our son’s life that must go beyond anything we can imagine. Though it’s hard and we wish it hadn’t happened, we have committed it to our God, for He is good.”

Is the race of life wearing you down?
Try a moment of thanks.
What a Christmas Story sent in by Tory Blomberg……..How WONDERFUL!!!
Puppy SizeThis is one of the neatest stories you will ever hear. You will knowprecisely what this little girl is talking about at the end (you’llwant to share this one with your loved ones and special friends)!’Danielle keeps repeating it over and over again. We’ve been back toThis animal shelter at least five times. It has been weeks now sincewe started all of this,’ the mother told the volunteer.’What is it she keeps asking for?’ the volunteer asked.’Puppy size!’ replied the mother.’Well, we have plenty of puppies, if that’s what she’s looking for.”I know… we have seen most of them, ‘ the mom said in frustration…Just then Danielle came walking into the office’Well, did you find one?’ asked her mom. ‘No, not this time,’Danielle said with sadness in her voice. ‘Can we come back on theweekend?’The two women looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed’You never know when we will get more dogs. Unfortunately, there’salways a supply,’ the volunteer said.Danielle took her mother by the hand and headed to the door. ‘Don’tworry, I’ll find one this weekend,’ she said.Over the next few days both Mom and Dad had long conversations with her.They both felt she was being too particular. ‘It’s this weekend orwe’re not looking any more,’ Dad finally said in frustration.’We don’t want to hear anything more about puppy size, either,’ Mom added.Sure enough, they were the first ones in the shelter on Saturdaymorning. By now Danielle knew her way around, so she ran right for thesection that housed the smaller dogs.Tired of the routine, mom sat in the small waiting room at the end ofthe first row of cages. There was an observation window so you couldsee the animals during times when visitors weren’t permitted.Danielle walked slowly from cage to cage, kneeling periodically totake a closer look. One by one the dogs were brought out and she heldeach one.One by one she said, ‘Sorry, but you’re not the one.’It was the last cage on this last day in search of the perfect pup.The volunteer opened the cage door and the child carefully picked upthe dog and held it closely. This time she took a little longer.’Mom, that’s it! I found the right puppy! He’s the one! I know it!’She screamed with joy. ‘It’s the puppy size!”But it’s the same size as all the other puppies you held over thelast few weeks,’ Mom said.’No not size… The sighs. When I held him in my arms, he sighed,’ she said.’Don’t you remember? When I asked you one day what love is, you told me love depends on the sighs of your heart. The more you love, the bigger the sigh!’The two women looked at each other for a moment. Mom didn’t knowwhether to laugh or cry. As she stooped down to hug the child, she dida little of both.’Mom, every time you hold me, I sigh. When you and Daddy come homefrom work and hug each other, you both sigh. I knew I would find theright puppy if it sighed when I held it in my arms,’ she said.Then, holding the puppy up close to her face, she said, ‘Mom, he lovesme. I heard the sighs of his heart!’Close your eyes for a moment and think about the love that makes yousigh. I not only find it in the arms of my loved ones, but in thecaress of a sunset, the kiss of the moonlight and the gentle brush ofcool air on a hot day.They are the sighs of God Take the time to stop and listen; you willbe surprised at what you hear. ‘Life is not measured by the breaths wetake, but by the moments that take our breath away.’I hope your life is filled with Sighs!!!

MAILBAG………..
from TAN IN MAYLAYSIA……

Hi Dewey,Take a look from the internet weather report ofAlbuquerque and my city (Kuala Lumpur) at the time Iam writing this email.Its wonderful the world isgetting smaller, information can be obtained by just amouse click.The weather here is about the same all the year round,unlike your city is getting cooler now.All the best and you have a good day.Regards,Tan

Tan also sent this heart warming story to us…………

Dear Dewey,Thanks for the message about the Saudi’s show theirmoney, I will like to share with you a story about aboy and puppies.PuppiesA farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. Hepainted a sign advertising the 4 pups. And set aboutnailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As hewas driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tugon his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of alittle boy. “Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of yourpuppies.” “Well,” said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat of theback off his neck, “These puppies come from fineparents and cost a good deal of money.” The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reachingdeep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful ofchange and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve gotthirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?” “Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he let out awhistle. Here, Dolly!” he called. Out from thedoghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly; followed by fourlittle balls of fur. The little boy pressed his faceagainst the chain link fence. His eyes danced withdelight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, thelittle boy noticed something else stirring inside thedoghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared, thisone noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then ina somewhat awkward manner, the little pup beganhobbling toward the others, doing its best to catchup…. “I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing tothe runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said,”Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be ableto run and play with you like these other dogs would. “With that the little boy stepped back from the fence,reached down, and began rolling up one leg of histrousers. In doing so he revealed a steel bracerunning down both sides of his leg attaching itself toa specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer,he said, “You see sir, I don’t run too well myself,and he will need someone who understands. “With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down andpicked up the little pup. Holding it carefully hehanded it to the little boy. “How much?” asked the little boy. “No charge,” answered the farmer. “There’s no chargefor love.” Love,Tan Tian

Love to you all………Over the last year the KKIM family has grown into Egypt, Taiwan, South Africa, and now Malaysia!!! God has made this happen. Your support of the KKIM Radio Ministry and the Cup is so much appreciated! We are going to try to take some time off now……God Bless you all, Dewey Sharon and family.
