Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

It is such a blessing to be with you on this wet Monday in the desert! Praise God it is raining here in New Mexico!

Why do we have a lot of flat roofs in New Mexico? To keep our pocketbooks flat? LOL!!!!

Here is a note from Pastor Leonard………

Hey my brother.

Praying for you, my brother. You are a mighty warrior for the Lord. Satan doesn’t waste his time on those who are weak, lie, deceive and are not willing to take a stand for the Lord Jesus Christ. Only those who have chosen to go to war experience the trials and struggles of battle. Those on their soft sofas and Lazy Boy’s never experience the heat of war or the stench of battle, but they also never experience the joy of the victories in others lives and being able to actually see and experience God’s move of joy and grace in others. What a view my friend, you have, as people tune in to KKIM and tell of how God is touch and moving in their lives because of your willingness to go to war.

“be strong IN THE LORD and in HIS mighty power”. Eph. 6:10

praying for you, love ya,

Leonard

Here’s more from Andrew Murray from his book,

“Again, I say, let us meditate on the divine glory of the salvation God purposes working out in us, until we know the truths it implies. Our heart is the scene of a divine operation more wonderful than Creation. We can do as little towards the work as towards creating the world, except as God works in us to will and to do. God only asks of us to yield, to consent, to wait upon Him, and He will do it all. Let us meditate and be still, until we see how meet and right and blessed it is that God alone do all, and our soul will of itself sink down in deep humility to say: “I have waited for Thy salvation, O Lord.” And the deep blessed background of all our praying and working will be: “Truly my soul waiteth upon God.”
The application of the truth to wider circles, to those we labor among or intercede for, to the Church of Christ around us, or throughout the world, is not difficult. There can be no good but what God works; to wait upon God, and have the heart filled with faith in His working, and in that faith to pray for His mighty power to come down, is our only wisdom. Oh for the eyes of our heart to be opened to see God working in ourselves and in others, and to see how blessed it is to worship and just to wait for His salvation!”

—Waiting on God

Thanks to Pastor Leonard Navarre for sharing! His encouragement is AWESOME!!

Well our friend, Ken, from the National Weather Service who was on NM News and Views last week, Ken’s forecast of liquid sunshine is certainly holding true! Thanks to Ken and his lovely wife Namoi for joining us. Ken plays first base and also is one of our pitchers on the Heights Christian Softball Team. We learned a lot about the national Weather Service, including every tax payer pays JUST 5 dollars a year for the service, WOW! If every Government agency was as efficient as the National Weather Service we would be in great shape. How much is that a day? The National Weather Service protects us…….they work with Homeland Security, Police, Fire, even Insurance companies to confirm weather conditions.

As I study to become a Pastor………A lot of my broadcasting experience of 35 years sure comes in handy. I was taught years ago at Brown to repeat, repeat, till the message sinks in. People need to hear the message 6 to 8 times.

I found this very interesting from the True story “Same kind of Different as me”……..

“Brother Brown, we done heard that message about a hun’erd times,”
one of the older women would say, somebody with gumption like my auntie, Big Mama’s sister. “When you gon’ change the sermon?”

Brother Brown would just gaze up at the holey roof and shake his head, kinda sad. “I work out there in the cotton with y’all, and ever week, the Lord shows me what’s goin on in the congregation so I’ll know what to preach on Sunday. When I start seein some changes out there,” he’d say, pointin toward the plantation, “I’ll be changin what I preach in here.”

WOW! What word’s of wisdom……..Let us not always search for the sermon or message of the week…….let us stay focused on God’s Word..the basic’s of God’s Word. There is a message for all of us in that quote.

Today, I leave you with this quote from one of the greatest Human beings God created……..Coach John Wooden……….

“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” AMEN!!!!!!

No matter how you feel……….If you are feeling down and out and about to give up…….YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL ON GOD!!!!

HE will answer the phone………Will you listen?

Let us pray………….

Lord, We ask You today for courage to stand up from the crowd with selfless caring..Let us be awesome witnesses for You. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Last night before heading to bed…….I called Uncle Joe to see if he was watching the Twins. We both have been sadden by the teams performance the last couple of months. My 93 Uncle lives and dies with his Twins and now at least the Vikings have started to play to help out the terrible season the Twins have had. Anyhow, Joe asked me to read him scripture before he hit the hay………

I turned my Bible to………For I am not ashamed for the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

Romans 1 16-17

Martin Luther called Romans “the chief part of the New Testament and…..truly the purest gospel.” God used the book to change the lives of Luther, John Wesley, John Calvin, William Tyndale, Saint Augustine, and millions of others.

Then I turned to James………

Come now, you who say, “today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit.”

whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”

James 4 13-15

I think our leaders, or so called leaders need to read James.

At 2:30 yesterday KKIM broke this story…………..

Thanks to all of the KKIM listeners who called and wrote the Dept. of Education!!!! We had State Rep. Nora Espinoza on with us on NM News and Views sharing the good news….Another case where the People let their voices be heard………We need to keep making that happen as we go on……….

SANTA FE, – New Mexico’s state education secretary says she will not make any changes to a rule requiring the Pledge of Allegiance to be recited every day in public schools.

Secretary Veronica Garcia had been considering amending the rule to allow students to opt out of the pledge and tomake clear there would be no retaliation if they did so.
But Garcia said Friday that most school districts already have policies in place to address that. And she said matters related to students’ rights should be handled by local school districts.
Garcia also said changing the state rule could give the mistaken impression that the Pledge of Allegiance is not important in New Mexico’s classrooms.

We need to keep the pressure on the Gov. to address the law and Judges on the DWI issue here in New Mexico……..here is the craziest thing I have seen in awhile………(it seems I am saying that almost everyday)

Sentenced to 48 hours; freed in three

John Higgins’ Thursday booking photoAn Albuquerque DWI defense attorney convicted of DWI himself on Thursday and sentenced to 48 hours in jail served less than three hours before being released.
Higgins was arrested on suspicion of DWI back in January near 12th and Mountain Road after crashing his car into a curb.
He refused a breath test and was charged with aggravated DWI.
Video of the arrest showed Higgins arguing with and threatening officers and was shown during Higgins trial, which ended with a conviction Thursday afternoon.
Judge Sharon Walton immediately sentenced Higgins to 48 hours at the Metropolitan Detention Center, or MDC, followed by a year of probation.
Higgins attorney appealed the sentence to district court requesting that Higgins be allowed to remain free pending an appeal of the verdict.
Jail records show that Higgins was booked at 9:32 Thursday evening and released at midnight.
Heather Lough of MDC says the jail received a second order from District Court Judge Albert “Pat” Murdoch at about 4:00 Thursday afternoon releasing Higgins on his own recognizance under the supervision of the court’s pretrial services pending his appeal.
Walton says that, if Higgins’ appeal is turned down, she will have him serve the remaining 48 hours.

Judge Murdoch is all wet on this one. As we have suggested for months now the Gov. needs to get the Judges all together in a room and clamp down on them or remove them!!!

The President’s Circus tent is starting to come down………….This man’s inexperience is showing so much. He is being exposed……….

Obama’s ‘big bang’ could go bust
By Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei
Politico
Updated: 08/21/2009 02:34:45 PM CDT

President Barack Obama listens to a question as he speaks about health care during a town hall meeting at Central High School in Grand Junction, Colo. Saturday, Aug. 15, 2009.(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) (AP)
Barack Obama’s “big bang” is beginning to backfire, as his plans for rapid, once-in-a-generation overhauls of energy, financial regulation and health care are running into stiff resistance, both in Washington and around the country.
The Obama theory was simple, though always freighted with risk: Use a season of economic anxiety to enact sweeping changes the public likely wouldn’t stomach in ordinary times. But the abrupt swing in the public’s mood, from optimism about Obama’s possibility to concern he may overreaching, has thrown the White House off its strategy and forced the president to curtail his ambitions.
Some Democrats point to a decision in June as the first vivid sign of trouble for Obama. These Democrats say the White House, in retrospect, made a grievous mistake by muscling conservative Democrats in swing districts to vote for a cap-and-trade energy bill that was very unpopular among their constituents.
Many of those members were pounded back home because Democrats passed a bill Republicans successfully portrayed as a big tax increase on consumers. The result: many conservative Democrats were gun -shy about taking any more risky votes — or going out on a limb on health care.
The other result: The prospects for winning final passage of a cap-and-trade bill this year are greatly diminished. And, while most Democrats still predict a health care bill will pass this year, it is likely to be a shadow of what Obama once had planned.
“The

——————————————————————————–

majority-makers are the freshman and sophomores from conservative districts where there’s this narrative building about giveaways, buyouts and too much change at once,” said a top House Democratic strategist, who requested anonymity to discuss internal politics candidly. “There’s this big snowball building in those districts. That’s why those folks are so scared.”
David Axelrod, Obama’s political architect, said it was “very clear early in the transition” that Obama would have to attack a number of festering issues simultaneously.
“The times demanded it,” he said in an interview. “We didn’t have the luxury of taking things sequentially, year after year, and hoping we got there. That’s the reason that all these major issues had been deferred for decades: Change is hard.”
=0 A
Axelrod said the president is “looking forward to an active fall” when he returns from next week’s vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, and is not as worried about the outlook as the denizens of Washington, where “every day is election day.”
But the “big bang” theory of governance, as some White House insiders called it, is not without risk and consequences.
By doing so much, so fast, Obama gave Republicans the chance to define large swaths of the
The latest from PoliticoGet this widget!
debate. Conservatives successfully portrayed the stimulus bill as being full of pork for Democrats. Then Obama lost control of the health care debate by letting Republicans get away with their bogus claims about “death panels.” The GOP also has successfully raised concerns that the Obama plan is a big-government takeover of health care — and much of Middle America bought the idea, according to polls.
By doi ng so much, so fast, Obama never sufficiently educated the public on the logic behind his policies. He spent little time explaining the biggest bailouts in U.S. history, which he inherited but supported and expanded. And then he lost crucial support on the left by not following up quickly with new and stricter rules for Wall Street.
On Friday, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman echoed a concern widely shared among leading liberals. “I don’t know if administration officials realize just how much damage they’ve done themselves with their kid-gloves treatment of the financial industry, just how badly the spectacle of government-supported institutions paying giant bonuses is playing.”
By doing so much so fast, Obama jammed the circuits on Capitol Hill. Congress has a hard time doing even one big thing well at a time. Congress is good at passing giveaways and tax cuts, but has not enacted a transformative piece of social legislation since President Bill Clinton’s welfare reform of 1996.
“There’s a reason things up here were built to go slowly,” said another Democratic aide.
By doing so doing so much, so fast, he has left voters — especially independents — worried that he got an overblown sense of his mandates and is doing, well, too much too fast. A Washington Post-ABC News poll published Friday found that independents’ confidence in Obama’s ability to make the right decisions had dropped 20 points since the inauguration, from 61 percent to 41 percent.=0 A
Axelrod and others argue Obama had no choice but to tackle all of these issues at once. That might be true for a stimulus bill and the bank and auto bailouts — but that case is harder to make for energy and health care, which have been the focus of intense debate for decades past and probably will be for decades to come.
Go-big-or-go-home isn’t the only theory of the case that a new president can adopt. The most promising alternative is to build public support over time by showing competence and success, then using that to leverage bigger things.
So imagine if Obama had focused on fixing the economy, and chosen presidential power over congressional accommodation and constructed his American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as a true, immediate stimulus without the pork and paybacks.
He then could have pushed through tougher regulation of financial institutions, making it clear people were paying for their sins, and would have a much harder time doing it again. This would have delighted the left and perhaps bought Obama more durable support among independents. Instead, the left thinks he’s beholden to investment banks, and much of the public sees no consequences for the financial mess.
Add in some serious budget cuts, and Obama would have positioned himself as a new kind of liberal with the courage to tame Washington and Wall Street, as promised. Under this scenario, Obama might be getting more credit for the economic recovery that appears to0Abe under way. This would have positioned him to win health care reform starting next year — a mighty achievement, and clear vindication against the doubters. Some White House officials said they are skeptical of moving controversial bills in an election year, when lawmakers are often more timid.
White House officials say they never seriously considered a more incremental approach to the year, though they did privately discuss trying to get regulation of the financial sector done right after the stimulus bill. There was too much disagreement among Democrats at the time over how far to go with regulation to proceed.
If the current strategy fails, the same person who got much of the credit for the crisp first 100 days will get some of the blame: White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. It was Emanuel who has strongly advocated the “big-bang” approach, declaring during the transition: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. Now, what I mean by that, it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do.”
The confidence of Obama’s aides was bolstered by their fresh memory that a similar approach had worked very effectively for then-President George W. Bush after the 9/11 attacks. With the public on edge, Bush was able to enact restrictive policies under the banner of protecting American soil, and build an entire new department of government that voters otherwise might have opposed. The economic meltdown would be Obama’s 9/11 — the predicate for swe eping legislation that he wanted to enact anyway.
Just past halftime in his first year, the president has won passage of a long list of bills that the White House points to as proof of their approach. In addition to the stimulus, Obama signed major bills on tobacco, pay equity, children’s health insurance, national service and the mortgage rescue.
If he gets health care and either energy overhaul or financial regulation this year, it would be hard to argue the “big-bang” plan wasn’t a success.
Former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., now president and director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, cautions that any verdict on Obama would be “kind of like judging a major surgical operation in the middle of the operation.”
With Obama reaching the defining season of his freshman year, Hamilton said the current agenda reminds him of the scale of the Great Society programs Congress was tackling when he came to Congress in 1965. “This president thinks big but I also think he acts pragmatically,” Hamilton said. “So many things in a congressional session come together at the last few hours, the last few weeks.”
But sometimes they just come undone.

Having been raised in the American Lutheran Church in Windom, Minnesota this story makes me so sad……..Does not the Church read Romans? What Bible are they reading?

Lutherans vote to allow sexually active gays as clergy by 68 percent margin

The nation’s largest Lutheran denomination took openly gay clergy more fully into its fold Friday, as leaders of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America voted to lift a ban that prohibited sexually active gay and lesbian people from serving as ministers.
Under the new policy, individual ELCA congregations will be allowed to hire homosexuals as clergy as long as they are in a committed relationships. Until now, gays and lesbians had to remain celibate to serve as clergy.
The change passed with the support of 68 percent of about 1,000 delegates at the ELCA’s national assembly. It makes the group, with about 4.7 million members in the U.S., one of the largest U.S. Christian denominations yet to take a more gay-friendly stance.
“I have seen these same-gender relationships function in the same way as heterosexual relationships — bringing joy and bl essings as well as trials and hardships,” the Rev. Leslie Williamson, associate pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Des Plaines, Ill., said during the hours of debate. “The same-gender couples I know live in love and faithfulness and are called to proclaim the word of God as are all of us.”
Conservative congregations will not be forced to hire gay clergy. Nevertheless, opponents of the shift decried what they saw as straying from clear Scriptural direction, and warned that it could lead some congregations and individual churchgoers to split off from the ELCA.
“This will cause an ever greater loss in members and

finances. I can’t believe the church I loved and served for 40 years can condone what God condemns,” said the Rev. Richard Mahan, pastor at St. Timothy Lutheran Church in Charleston, W.Va. “Nowhere in Scripture does it say homosexuality and same-sex marriage is acceptable to God. Instead, it says it is immoral and perverted.”

David Keck, a delegate from the Southern Ohio Synod, said he feared that by embracing partnered gays as clergy that the ELCA was heading down a road that would ultimately

lead to “the blessing of same-sex unions as the policy of this church,” he said.

Mahan said he believed a majority of his congregation would want to now break off from the ELCA.
Other leaders indicated they might leave as well; the Rev. Tim Housholder, pastor of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Cottage Grove described himself during the debate as a rostered ELCA pastor “at least for a few more hours.” The Rev. Marshall Hahn, pastor at St. Olaf Lutheran Parish in Dubuque, Iowa, said he’d need to talk to his bishop “to discuss what this means for my future with this church.”
In September, Lutheran CORE — the group that led the fight against the changes — is holding a convention in Indianapolis to discuss the next steps. It also encouraged ELCA members and congregations to direct finances away from ELCA church-wid e organizations and toward “faithful ministries within and outside of the ELCA.”
Other Christian denominations in the United States have struggled to remain united in the face of such debates. In 2003, the 2 million-member Episcopal Church of the United States consecrated its first openly gay bishop, a move that alienated American Episcopalians from its worldwide parent church, the Anglican Communion. The divide has led to the formation of the more conservative Anglican Church in North America, which claims 100,000 members.
But ELCA supporters of its change said that failure to ratify it ran just as great a risk of alienating large portions of the membership, particularly those from younger generations.
The Rev. Katrina Foster, pastor at Fordham Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Bronx, said that Lutherans heard similar warnings about flouting Scripture when they made past changes that are now seen as successful — chiefly, the ordination of women.
“We can learn not to define ourselves by negation,” said Foster, who is a lesbian. “By not only saying what we are against, which always seems to be the same — against gay people. We should be against poverty. I wish we were as zealous about that.”
Tim Mumm, a gay man and an assembly delegate from Whitewater, Wis., said the Scripture that guides opponents of the more liberal policy was written by mortals, at a much earlier time, and doesn’t reflect what many Christians now believe.
“I b elieve for me to marry a woman would be wrong — even sinful,” Mumm said. “I don’t believe God intended to put me and others in a no-win situation.”
Some ELCA congregations had already been flouting the ban on noncelibate gay priests by hiring pastors in gay relationships. Some synods looked the other way, while others removed such priests from their rosters.
It was such divisions and inconsistencies in enforcement that an ELCA task force aimed to finesse when it began several years ago to draw up the ministry recommendations and a broader social statement on human sexuality, which passed earlier this week.
Under the new policy, heterosexual clergy and professional lay workers will still have to abstain from sex outside marriage. The proposed change would cover those in “lifelong, monogamous, same-gender relationships.”

How have we come to this??????

(CNN) — A controversial bill that California legislators say would allow the early release of more than 27,000 inmates from crowded prisons will be taken up by the state Assembly on Monday.

Inmates at Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, California, interact in a gym modified to house them in August 2007.

The Senate on Thursday passed the corrections package 21-19, after Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, assured senators the changes would protect the public from the most violent offenders.
The legislation also would direct more resources toward parolees, he said.
Senate Republicans say the bill would undermine public safety. All 15 Senate Republicans voted against the measure.
Both houses of the legislature are controlled by Democrats.
Consideration of the bill comes as California faces a mid-September deadline for reducing its prison population by about 40,000 inmates. A special panel of three federal judges issued the order, contending the crowded prison system violates prisoners’ constitutional rights.
The judges said they will make the reductions themselves if the state fails to act.
The measure would save the financially strapped state $524.5 million, according to a statement from Steinberg’s office.
When coupled with budget revisions that lawmakers made in July, the total corrections savings would be $1.2 billion, he said. That is the amount that Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants as part of his efforts to cut state spending and balance the budget.

Republicans said the bill would lead to the release of about 27,000 prisoners, while Democrats estimated it would reduce the prison population by 27,300 in the 2009-10 fiscal year and 37,000 during fiscal year 2010-11.
“It is undeniable that the real failure of our criminal justice system is that it fails to distinguish between violent offenders and nonviolent offenders,” Steinberg said.
“Of course, we want to keep violent criminals off our streets and out of our communities, and this reform package is a necessary step to do that because it concentrates our incarceration efforts on the violent criminals and ensures that nonviolent offenders have more contact with parole officers,” he said.
Some nonviolent offenders could serve shorter sentences.
According to Steinberg, each parole officer in California is responsible for about 70 parolees, many of whom recommit crimes and go back to jail. If the legislation is passed, the ratio would be reduced to 45 to 1, he said.
“They [parole officers] cannot adequately supervise those who are the most at risk and those who are the most risk to the public safety,” Steinberg said. With a lesser workload, the officers also can make more home visits and arrange more meetings with the people they supervise, the lawmaker said.
Senate Republicans called the legislation a threat to public safety.
“Among the inmates who could be eligible for early release under the Democrat plan include felons convicted of human trafficking, stalking, identity theft, violent child abuse and threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction,” the Republican Caucus said in a written statement.
“Unfortunately, this proposal exploits a fiscal crisis in order to advance a dangerous liberal agenda that seeks to undo successful anti-crime laws,” said Senate Republican Leader Dennis Hollingsworth of Murrieta.
GOP lawmakers in the Senate also strongly opposed the creation of what they described as “an unelected and unaccountable sentencing commission that would be given broad authority to alter important public safety laws.”
The legislation would establish a 16-member Sentencing Commission that would put in place new sentencing guidelines by July 1, 2012. Unless vetoed by the legislature and governor, the guidelines would become effective January 1, 2013.
The 13 voting members of the commission would include the chief justice of the California Supreme Court, a judge appointed by the chief justice, the state public defender and the secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. A crime victim would be among the three ex-officio members.
California Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles, issued a statement early Friday morning, explaining that the assembly recessed around midnight and will reconvene Monday.
On Thursday and into Friday morning, she said in the statement, “we have been taking into account many of the concerns raised by law enforcement, and are working toward a bill that the people of California can agree makes sense,” and that process will continue through the weekend.
“Our target remains a responsible approach that will achieve our public safety and budgetary goals, and allow us to prevent the wholesale release of prisoners by federal judges.”
“Relieving prison overcrowding and reducing recidivism are monumental challenges, but they are challenges that we will not retreat from,” Schwarzenegger told an audience of prosecutors in June.
And if they don’t want to live in the United States………..so be it……….

HONOLULU – Hawaii welcomed its entry as the 50th state with a new postage stamp Friday but independence supporters marked the day with passionate protest — including an effigy of Uncle Sam being beaten and Hawaii’s star cut out from the U.S. flag.
State leaders called Friday’s events a “commemoration” of Hawaii’s 50 years of statehood rather than a “celebration” out of respect to Native Hawaiians and their unresolved claims since the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom.
A few hundred Native Hawaiians marched through the street of downtown Honolulu with an effigy of a 15-foot Uncle Sam holding machine guns and riding in a tank made of cardboard. They chanted in Hawaiian, blew on conch shells, waved ti leaves, carried upside-down Hawaii state flags and yelled, “We are not Americans! We want our country back!”
“Genocide” and “imperialist” were written across the cardboard machine guns.
At the end of the march, protesters knocked off Uncle Sam’s hat, which contained a U.S. flag from which they cut out a star that represented Hawaii. They lit the star on fire and held it up to a crowd yelling “freedom.”
“We were never the 50th state,” said Kaleo Farias, one of protesters that cut the U.S. flag. “It was an illusion, fabrication, something that was told to us that never happened. … We’re not part of the United States.”
The events commemorating Hawaii’s 1959 admission into the union have been light on flag-waving and para des. Instead, they have focused on the state’s economic future with panel discussions on tourism, alternative energy and Hawaiian rights.

Here is a note from Dr. Deb………..

Dear Listeners,

In Ephesians 5:22-32, the Apostle Paul speaks to wives and husbands. He tells wives to submit to their husbands, as to the Lord. He tells husbands to love their wives, just as Christ also loved the church. At the end of this passage, Paul says that the wife is to respect her husband. Ever wondered what this really means? Dianne Christianson, wife, mother, and Women Ministry Director at Hoffmantown Baptist Church will be my guest. She calls this the R Factor and will be letting us know what in truth it means to respect our husbands. All women, and men, married or single, will want to hear what Dianne has to tell us about the R Factor.

The show airs from 8:05 to 9:00 AM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) this Saturday August 22 on KKIM-AM1000 or FM94.7 in the Santa Fe /northern NM area. The show is also audio streamed live on http://www.mykkim.com/. If you have a question or comment, please give us a call. In the Albuquerque area the phone number is 998-0021. You can also call toll-free at 1-866-523-5008. I am looking forward to being with you this Saturday morning.

In obedience to Him,

Dr. Deb

Hello everyone,
I received this email from Pastor Philip Saa’d today. Thank you for your prayers for him and the church in Haifa, especially as they step out in faith to renovate their building, that it might be a glorious place of worship for our Lord for all to see. If any of you would like to help in this project, please contact me and I will explain how it may be done. – Pastor Don

There you go…….Enjoy your weekend in the Lord and see ya on the radio at 4:30 with NM News and Views!

Dear brother Don and Sister Dorothy,
We send you our warmest greetings and hope you are well. Thank you for your gift of offering and for Nasrine’s offering.

Isaiah 55:10:11

I am sure you remember Elaine Najjar and her husband Shaker. Elaine and her children were always faithful in the church ministry, in music and worship in Sunday school and other things. Shaker was a key and promising member in our church, but unfortunately he backslid and quit coming to the church. We kept visiting and encouraging him but always heard from him excuses and excuses. Praise God that he joined his family for the conference.
Shaker repented and rededicated his life to Jesus and to the church ministry. He is now on fire for Jesus, attends all meetings, helps with the youth meetings and brings coffee for all for the Bible studies and prayer meetings. Almost every meeting, Shaker shares about you and how God spoke to him through you. He and his wife like many others were indeed blessed by your ministry and fellowship. Please pray for Shaker and his family members they all are gifted and have great potentials for the Lord and for His church.

Allow me brother Don to keep sharing with you all our urgent prayer requests, I know you are serious and diligent about prayer, you and I know that we have a great and almighty God and savior, nothing is too big and too much for him
Please start praying for our center building in 38 Haganeem St. In few days we will start in faith to renovate our Center. We want to demolish walls and make a big enough hall, fix bathrooms, toilets, kitchen, youth activity room, Sunday School classes and a small guest house for people like you that would like to visit and minister in our community. People in the church are excited about this project. I believe there are some who are able to give money and they will give sacrificially, others will offer hours of work. I expect that God will use this project to strengthen the unity and belonging of the church people. Please pray that God will remove all kind of obstacles and will provide all what we need to complete this project before the winter, pray as we keep worshiping and praising our almighty God the walls which need to be demolished will fall easily by the power of prayer and praise.

Pray during Ramadan, the month of Muslim fasting, that God will use the satellite Christian channels, use our witness and the Christian literature we are distributing to break through this darkness of Islam, and many will see dreams visions of Jesus, Joel 2:28, 29 and many will know the Holy One of Israel. Keep praying for Rawan and for her family.

In all these things let God be magnified
In His Love
Philip & Violet Saa’d
