Dear KKIM Family,
We begin now each edition of New Mexico News and Views with…….”This is the world we live in…………….”
As we face the truth about current events.
Three events that hit me yesterday and this morning that give a prime example as to how far America Society has fallen is………..
But before I do that……..Let me share with you one thing that my Dear Brother Dr. Larry Bates CEO of IRN/USA Radio Network and Co-Host of News and Views has told me over the years…….”We are to be the salt and light of the world. We are to occupy until the Lord comes. We are to spread the good news all over.” That is the calling card for IRN/USA Radio Network and KKIM and the CUP!
That is what we attempt to do everyday here at the CUP and KKIM.
Here is a comment from Nancy M. Thompson who wrote a letter to the Editor of the Albuquerque Journal after gunmen stormed a Duke City Denny’s Restaurant filled with customers in broad day light and killed one of the cook’s………….
Thompson writes…………….
I have come to the conclusion that we must all fight this together as a community. First and foremost, I want to elect leaders that make crime fighting in this city their first priority. We need a city where families could thrive and spend time together on their days off without having fear of being killed.”
Ms. Thompson is right on.
Our daughter Gretchen 22 says, “Dad, we are not safe anywhere in Albuquerque anymore.” The Starbucks she works at has been robbed 3 times in daylight by thugs carrying guns.
I am tired of so called leaders in our Government and Church’s that pretend to be leaders……
We must be the salt and light to the world.
It is a breakdown in American Society………….
How on earth can parents get their child to this point???? to say cheating is okay????
Last night the Albuquerque Triple A Franchise played host to Manny Ramirez as he get’s back into shape since he was suspended for the use of drugs. The stadium was filled to capacity to see this guy who I would not walk across the street to see him play. But what caught my eye was a quote from a little boy in the Albuquerque Journal……..Oh Lord what have we done to our Children…….”Even thou he cheats, I want to see him play.” With all the corruption in our Government, Schools, Church’s, etc..we have taught are youth it is okay to cheat because you will be okay and make much money and be in high places. Fans adored Ramirez last night. WHAT A VERY SAD STATEMENT ON AMERICAN SOCIETY. THE LOCAL TRIPLE A BASEBALL OFFICALS FELL OVER HIM TOO. WOW, Do not under estimate this statement it makes about America.
We are to be the salt and light of the world………we have are work cut out for us…….we must not put on blinders and hide from these problems. Shame on the Isotopes and all of baseball for exploiting our Youth.
When I covered the Cubs for WCOE Radio in Laporte, In. back in the 80’s I got to cover the Cubs in Spring Training in Mesa twice. One of the solid players was Ryne Sandberg.He said this about Sammy Sosa as it was just revealed that Sosa used steroids when he played, “I don’t think he belongs in the Hall-of-Fame, Part of being in the Hall-Of-Fame is that they use the word integrity in describing a Hall of Famer.”
Where is the Integrity in the Ramirez Circus?
Just one more……………
They tell me 10.6 million viewers tuned in to watch this crazy TV show last night, “Jon and Kate Plus 8……..as they announced their divorce. What does that tell us?
We are to be the salt and light of the world.
PS The Journal put the rescue of 5 people from the flooding Arroyo’s all the way to the Metro section……..No front page news at the Journal that our Policeman and Fireman saved lives yesterday.
Let us pray………….
Lord, Thank you Lord for the Boldness to speak up for You and Your people. Lord you tell us to be the salt and light of the world……..Our prayer today is that all those that say they believe in You will receive that Boldness……..that they will not let walls and man’s structure delay or stop them from being Bold in YOU. In the name of Jesus, AMEN.
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
