Dec. 9, 1863……..
Sec. Of The Treasury S.P. Chase wrote again to the Dir. of the Mint, James Pollock:
I approve your mottos, only suggesting that on that with the Washington obverse, the motto should begin with the word “Our”, so as to read:
“Our God and our Country.” And on that with the shield, it should be changed to read: “In God We Trust.”
On March 3, 1865 Congress of the United States of America approved: IN GOD WE TRUST
Too many Americans do not know the History of this GREAT COUNTRY!!! Too many Americans do not READ ABOUT THIER OWN COUNTRY!!!
“Nearly all men can stand adversity,

Dewey,
I like the new web site so far. I will miss the emails but I can get the information on the site. I have talked to our Pastor about you coming to visit and I have not heard from him so I will remind him again of my inquiry and get back to you.

Please also pray for my husband Bryon as he will be having tests on Thursday for his heart.

Thank you and God Bless you!

Sandy

Dewey, we need to keep praying for this young man. Here’s an update:

MONDAY, AUGUST 04, 2008 09:46 PM, CDT

Monday night

This was a hard day for Paul. He was less responsive than yesterday and seemed to be in a deep place. Our concern is for the brain injury. The doctors and nurses say it could be three months or more for the blood to be absorbed into the body. This is where we need prayer.

The broken bones and contusions will heal sooner but the brain takes time to recover.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalms 46:1

SUNDAY, AUGUST 03, 2008 02:50 PM, CDT

Sunday, August 3

The cat scans on his head have remained unchanged and there are no blood clots for which we are so thankful. They are continuing to monitor it.

For someone who entered the hospital Friday night in a very critical state, he has come a long way. Paul is still heavily sedated and when they lowered the dosage a bit to test his condition his body reacted strongly against the pain. He began to quiver and convulse and they had to quickly increase the pain meds again. However they were able to see that he was able to respond to the command to move his toes. That is a major blessing.

We are so thankful that he is alive and that he is being treated by an excellent staff, but we know he is still in danger and there are many things they do not know yet.

Sunday night. Paul’s temperature and brain pressure are high as his body fights against all the trauma. These first 3 to 5 days are crucial.

Thanks to frank Haley for this update.

Remember that commercial, “I’ve got the power” Well, here is the REAL POWER!!!! This is from Nic………

I’ve Got the Power!
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8 (KJV)
Jesus shares with us that we receive power when the Holy Ghost comes on us. Acts 1:8 puts the emphasis on the power that comes on us to be witnesses first in Jerusalem and then Judea and to the uttermost parts of the earth. You shall receive power! You shall receive an anointing! You shall receive oil! You shall receive courage! When the Holy Ghost comes on you, you shall receive power to be my witnesses!
But, I want to push the envelope a little bit and remind us that this power, of which Jesus speaks, has not only been given to us so that we might be witnesses of the goodness of God and of the grace of God, but that this power has been give to you and I also for the tearing down of strongholds. The power of God has not only been give to you and me so I can witness about the grace of God, but the power of God has been given to me so I can also witness about strongholds in my bloodline that may have destroyed generations above me that I can give witness and say, “It destroyed them, but by the power of God it did not destroy me.”

Pray with me: Father, I thank you that I am free. I thank you that because of the shed blood of your son generational curses have been destroyed. I thank you that I have the power to remain free and whatever demon that might rise up against me, I have power over. I have been made free from the curse of sin. I have power to overcome the world through your son-Jesus. Father, be glorified in my life that I may be an effective witness unto you.

This is from Karen…………

Good Morning!!! It is a wonderful day!!! The LORD has blessed me with something great!!!
“It is about the WORD; NOT about my interpretation of the WORD.” It is about the Word of GOD. I thank HIM for that!!! I am so blessed in HIS presence right now!!!

After prayer and thanks to HIM, I am sharing The WORD of God:

I encourage you to read more, I am only sharing in part…God is in Whole, not in part and we are to love HIM and celebrate HIM in understanding HIS message to us.

John15
1 I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.
3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine (Jesus)
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
14 You are my friends if you do what I command.
17 This is my command: Love each other.
18 If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first
20 …No servant is greater than his master.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
25 …The hated me without reason.
26 …the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. And you also must testify….
John 16
2…a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.
4 I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you.
The Holy Spirit…
8 he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment
12…the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.
23… I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

Thank God for HIS Word to us!!! It is right in front of us and sometimes we put off looking into the Word to see what the matter in our own lives is.
The truth of everything we seek is in the Bible!!!

By testimony, without the details, I have seen God part the clouds and stop a storm just shy of something because of great faith in HIS ability to do it and far greater faith in HIS love for obedience…God loves us and HE loves obedience…When we do good things for God and carry that light inside of us that shines bright for HIM, HE will do anything we need to honor our request that is made for good purposes.

God is good all the time
And
All the time, God is good.

We are told to have faith by Jesus!!!
By testimony, Faith can part the clouds and Faith has parted the sea…
Because God can do these things!!!

Have a wonderful day in Christ!!!

Love and in Christ’s precious name,
Karen

Thanks Karen and Nic. You guys are a TRUE BLESSING!!!

God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 1 John 4:16

Let us pray……….. God of love, thank YOU for loving me the way You do. It is beyond my understanding. I praise You for Your love. AMEN

God Bless you all, Dewey Sharon and family

Good Morning Friends!

May the Peace of the Lord be with You and Yours!

First of all we have these updates from Amy and her Mother Cheri………and Cheri reminds us to keep praying for Paul Rieth………

Dear Dewey and faithful prayer frien ds,I am home from surgery! It is Saturday evening at 5:40. The surgery was yesterday at 3:30, and went well. It was over quickly, and I have met all of the criteria for coming home. It was a success, and everything looks pretty good! I still have more chemo ahead of me, but it is such a relief to have this step over with. God is good, and ever faithful, and I am so grateful that He is with me through all of this! :0) Amy Schultz Thank you all so very much for your prayers. They help sustain me, and I am sure they are part of my healing! Amy Dewey….I am praying for Paul and his family!Amy had her surgery yesterday and seems to be doing well. She will see the doctor this week. I know she will also write an update soon, but I wanted to thank all of you for the prayers. She was sent home early evening today. Last time I checked the pain was under control. She was up and walking. We are all thankful and grateful as we see how the Lord works in her life as he is getting her through this long and difficult journey. Again, you are all such a vital part of this journey to healing and I feel very blessed to have you love enough and care enough to pray for my daughter! Love in Christ,20Cherie Also friends, please pray for Lynne Buggs as she continues to go through treatment for her cancer. Though I have not been familiar w/Bob Rieth’s ministry, the name caught my eye b/c we share the same last name. It is especially jolting when something happens to our children… how old is Paul? May our Heavenly Father of Grace and Mercy bless this family with Comfort and the warmth of His Presence. May we cast every care on Jesus, and the family know the consolation of His Love. May this be true for each and every hurting one in their place of need.Because of Jesus,Karen Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. James 4:17 Here is a real good one from Mike and Jan………Having grown up in Minnesota and being a Norskie and Swede and being raised in the Lutheran Church this is extra special!!! LUTHERAN AIRLINESWE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE LUTHERAN AIRLINES IS NOW OPERATING IN MINNYSOTA! ALSO SERVING VISCONSIN, NORDERN MITCHIGEN, NORT & SOUT DAKOTAIf you are travelin soon, consider Lutran Air, the no-frills airline. You’re all in da same boat on Lutran Air, here flyin is a upliftin experience. Dair is no first class on any Lutran Air flight.Meals are potluck. Rows 1 tru 6, bring rolls; 7 tru 15, bring a salad; 16 tru 21, a hot dish, and 22-30, a dessert.Basses and tenors please sit in da rear of da aircraft. Everyone is responsible for his or her own baggage. All fares are by free-will offering, and da plane will not land til da budget is met.Pay attention to your flight attendant, who vill acquaint you wit da safety system aboard dis Lutran Air. Okay den, listen up; I’m only gonna say dis vonce: In da event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, I am frankly gonna be real surprised and so vill Captain Olson, because ve fly right around two tousand feet, so loss of cabin pressure would probably mean da Second Coming or someting of dat nature, and I wouldn’t bodder with doze liddle masks on da rubber tubes–you’re gonna have bigger tings to worry about den dat.. Just stuff doze back up in dair liddle holes. Probably da masks fell out because of turbulence which, to be honest wit you, we’re gonna have quite a bit of at two tousand feet, sorta like driving across a plowed field, but after a while you get used to it.In da event of a water landing, I’d say forget it. Start saying da Lord’s Prayer and just hope you get to da part about forgive us our sins as we fo rgive dose who sin against us, which some people say “trespass against us,” which isn’t right, but what can you do?Da use of cell phones on da plane is strictly forbidden, not because day may confuse da plane’s navigation system, which is by da pants all da way. No, it’s because cell phones are a pain in da wazoo, and if God had meant you to use a cell phone, He wudda put your mout on da side of your head.We start lunch right about noon and it’s buffet style wit da coffeepot up front.

Right now I’ll say Grace:”Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest and let deze gifts to us be blessed. Fader, Son, and Holy Ghost, May we land in Dulut or pretty close.” THAT IS SO GOOD!!!! Thanks Mike and Jan……..I think Sandy at the Windom paper should put that in the Citizen!!! This from Merry………. This is nice… Click here: Rain On The Windshield Friday night at Heights Christian Church we held a prayer service for our Military Men and Women. Saturday I spoke to a group of volunteers who go into the prisons to share G od’s word. Then I spoke to a group of Sr’s at Paradise Hills Methodist. They have such a large eating area and kitchen at Paradise Hills they host many events. Anyhow as I was finishing up my presentation I took questions. One very nice lady says to me, “You are creating fear about China.” I said not I was just sharing the truth and If folks want to be fearful that is there choice. What I was sharing about China was that with the new energy bill we will can only get those new light bulbs from China, I shared about there building a HUGE war machine, Industrial Revolution, Pollution, and how funny it is that we are having the Olympics in China when the air quality is so poor and many are talking about having to wear masks, and it is like we are masking the truth as to what is going on in that country. For heaven sakes they have to shut down many factories and stop people from using cars to help clean up the air during the Olympics. I also talked about the push that is going on in New Mexico to pass same sex marriage. This same lady along with four others said we should not worry about that and leave that alone. We had a good discussion on these topics and like I told the group this is America and we are all free to express our opinions. Polls show that well over 70% of New Mexicans are opposed to same sex marriage. The question I then ask, is why then did HB9 just fail by one vote in the last session. I will not argue about same sex marriage I just refer to the Bible and God’s word on this. Here are two items that tie in with all this……………. US says it understated number of new HIV infections each year, raises estimate to 56,000By MIKE STOBBE, Associated Press August 3, 2008ATLANTA – The number of Americans infected by the AIDS virus each year is much higher than the government has been estimating, U.S. health officials reported, acknowledging that their numbers have understated the level of the epidemic.The country had roughly 56,300 new HIV infections in 2006 — about a 40 percent increase from the 40,000 annual estimate used for the past dozen years. The new figure is due to a better blood test and new statistical methods, and not a worsening of the epidemic, officials said.But it likely will refocus U.S. attention from the effect of AIDS overseas to what the disease is doing to this country, said public health researchers and officials.”This is the biggest news for public health and HIV/AIDS that we’ve had in a while,” said Julie Scofield, executive director of the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors.Experts in the field, advocates and a former surgeon general called for m ore aggressive testing and other prevention efforts, noting that spending on preventing HIV has been flat for seven years.The revised estimate by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the methodology behind it were to be presented Sunday, the opening day of the international AIDS conference in Mexico City.Since AIDS surfaced in 1981, health officials have struggled to estimate how many people are infected each year. It can take a decade or more for an infection to cause symptoms and illness.One expert likened the new estimate to adding a good speedometer to a car. Scientists had a good general idea of where the epidemic was going; this provides a better understanding of how fast it’s moving right now.”This puts a key part of the dashboard in place,” said the expert, David Holtgrave of Johns Hopkins University.Judging by the new calculations, officials believe annual HIV infections have been hovering around 55,000 for several years.”This is the most reliable estimate we’ve had since the beginning of the epidemic,” said Dr. Julie Gerberding, the CDC’s director. She said other countries may adopt the agency’s methodology.According to current estimates, around 1.1 million Americans are living with the AIDS virus. Officials plan to update that number with the new calculations but don’t think it will change dramatically, a CDC spokeswoman said.=0 A The new infection estimate is based on a blood test that for the first time can tell how recently an HIV infection occurred.Past tests could detect20only the presence of HIV, so determining which year an infection took place was guesswork — guesswork upon which the old 40,000 estimate was based.The new estimate relies on blood tests from 22 states where health officials have been using a new HIV testing method that can distinguish infections that occurred within the past five months from those that were older.The improved science will allow more real-time monitoring of HIV infections. Now, CDC officials say, the estimate will likely be updated every year.Yearly estimates allow better recognition of trends in the U.S. epidemic. For example, the new report found that infections are falling among heterosexuals and injection drug users.Some experts celebrated that finding, saying it’s a tribute to prevention efforts, including nearly 200 syringe exchange programs now operating in 36 states despite a federal ban on funding for such projects.But they also lamented the CDC’s finding that infections continue to increase in gay and bisexual men, who accounted for more than half of HIV infections in 2006. Also, more than a third of those with HIV are younger than 30.Some advocates say that suggests a need for more prevention efforts, particularly targeting younger gay and bisexual men.For yea rs, AIDS was considered a terrifying death sentence, and since 1981, more than half a million Americans have died. But medicines that became available in the 1990s turned it into a mana geable chronic condition for many Americans, and attention shifted to Africa and other parts of the world.Last week, President Bush signed a $48 billion global AIDS bill to continue a program that he called “the largest commitment by any nation to combat a single disease in human history.”But some advocates complain that CDC’s annual spending on HIV prevention in the United States has been held to roughly $700 million since 2001, while costs have risen. (That’s about 3 percent of what the federal government spends on AIDS; much of the rest is on medicines, health care and research.)The new estimate is “evidence of a failure by government and society to do what it takes to control the epidemic,” said Julie Davids, executive director of the Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project.Whether more funding comes or not, the revised estimate clearly is a “wake-up call to scale things up,” said Dr. Kevin Fenton, who oversees CDC’s prevention efforts for HIV/AIDS.Some said more attention needs to focus on prevention among blacks, who account for nearly half of annual HIV infections, according to the new CDC report.A recent report by the Black AIDS Institute concluded that if black Americans were t heir own nation, they would rank 16th in the world in the number of people living with HIV.”We have been inadequately funding this epidemic all along. We need to step it up,” sa id former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher, who is now an administrator at Atlanta’s Morehouse School of Medicine.The new estimate has been anticipated for a long time. The CDC began working on the new methods nearly seven years ago.Late last year, advocates said they had heard the figure was about 55,000 and pressed the CDC to release it. Agency officials declined, saying they were submitting their research for medical journal review.”These are extremely complicated statistical methods,” and CDC officials wanted the work to be thoroughly reviewed by outside experts, Gerberding said. The CDC’s findings are being published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.Until 1992, the number of diagnosed AIDS cases was used to predict how many people were newly infected each year. That method produced an estimate of 40,000 to 80,000. More recently, the CDC focused on infections among men who have sex with men, who account for about half of new HIV diagnoses.___On the Net:CDC HIV fact sheets: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/factsheets/JAMA: http://jama.ama-assn.org
Hawaii man accused of helping China design missile

(AP) HAIKU, Hawaii – Cheryl Gowadia couldn’t figure out why FBI agents in riot gear, guns drawn, were storming her home on Maui’s tranquil North Shore.At first, she thought they might be after the man building a pond in her backyard. Instead, she was stunned to learn they wanted to question her husband, a former B-2 stealth bomber engineer.”This came out of nowhere,” Gowadia said.A week later, on Oct. 13, 2005, agents arrested Noshir Gowadia, a native of India who received a Ph.D. at 15, on suspicion he sold military secrets to China.Maui is an unlikely place for a spy saga., a mostly rural island of 140,000 known more for big-wave surfing and five-star resorts.But prosecutors say Noshir Gowadia used Maui as a base to design a stealth cruise m issile for China. He was indicted on 21 counts of conspiracy, money-laundering and falsifying tax returns.Despite the seriousness of the charges, the case has received scant public attention.The20defendant has been out of sight since a judge determined he was a flight risk and denied him bail.And, adding to his obscurity, Gowadia’s trial date has been repeatedly postponed as both prosecution and defense lawyers have sought more time to review thousands of pages of classified evidence.The trial is now due to begin on Jan. 21. Gowadia has pleaded not guilty.The case comes amid growing U.S. concern about Chinese spying and enhanced prosecution efforts across the country.Last year, a jury convicted Chi Mak, an engineer for a California-based defense contractor, of conspiring to export U.S. submarine propulsion technology to China. He was sentenced to 24 1/2 years in prison. In June, a Chinese national with Canadian citizenship was sentenced to 24 months for selling fighter pilot training software to the Chinese navy.Dan Blumenthal, a former China country director at the Pentagon and a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, said Beijing is after technologies that would help it counter the U.S.”It’s not necessarily James Bond-like spying where you have some super spy penetrating the deepest U.S. secrets,” Bl umenthal=2 0said. “It’s trying relentlessly to get defense related technology from U.S. companies, U.S. engineers and the U.S. military.”Cheryl Gowadia says that FBI raid nearly three years ago was her first indication her husband was suspected of anything illegal.=0 A Agents scoured every corner of the couple’s two-story home, and left with boxes of papers and family photos, including wedding pictures. Officers interrogated her husband in the vacant maid’s apartment in the back of the house for six hours.”They’re claiming that we built this house with money he earned illegally,” Cheryl Gowadia said, sitting in her living room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Uaoa Bay. “There’s isn’t a shred of truth in it, not one dime.”Although the house is valued at $4 million, Cheryl Gowadia must live frugally because the couple spent most of their savings hiring a Washington law firm to defend Gowadia. The money ran out a year after his arrest and they’re now relying on a court-appointed attorney.They can’t sell the house to raise money because prosecutors have a lien on it, saying Gowadia will have to forfeit the property if he’s convicted. The couple’s son has been paying the mortgage, but there isn’t enough left over for hot water or to maintain the yard.Gowadia’s new attorney, David Klein, declined to20make the engineer available for comment .Gowadia moved to the U.S. from India in the 1960s for postgraduate work. In 1968 he joined defense contractor Northrop Corp., now Northrop Grumman Corp., where he designed elements of the B-2.He became a U.S. citizen in the 1970s and retired from Northrop in 1986, two=2 0years before the B-2 made its public debut.Cheryl Gowadia said he’s honest and, in a way, naive. He didn’t bother calling a lawyer when agents showed up at his home and started questioning him.”He is totally unable to lie. It is not his nature. He’s as honest and truthful and trusting as they come,” Cheryl Gowadia said.The indictment alleges he made six trips to China from 2003 to 2005, conspiring to conceal some of his visits by getting border agents to leave immigration stamps off his passport.In Chengdu in 2003, Gowadia allegedly gave Chinese engineers and officials classified information about missile exhaust systems that emit little heat and thus are hard to detect. The city is home to the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute, which created the J-10, a state-of-the-art fighter plane China unveiled last year.Prosecutors allege Gowadia pocketed $110,000 over two years for his exhaust nozzle design.He’s also accused of attempting to sell classified stealth technology to the Swiss governm ent and to businesses in Israel and Germany.The defendant ’s son, Ashton Gowadia, said it doesn’t make sense that someone with a distinguished career like his father’s would sell military secrets. He also questioned why anyone living a comfortable life would sell classified material for so little money.”We want this thing in court,” Ashton Gowadia said. “He wants to show the world that he’s innocent and he wants to clear his name.”

One other thing that I have been talking about for months and now this………………

The current Congress has enacted less legislation than any within the last decade, according to a new analysis from the nonpartisan Tax-payers for Common Sense.

The 100th Congress has passed just 260 laws—–and 74 of those were RENAMING POST OFFICES!!!!

But they passed hundreds of resolutions, including one to RECONGNIZE SOIL AS AN “ESSENTIAL RESOURCE”. Rep. John Shimkus introduced a resolution to recognize June 30th as NATIONAL CORVETTE DAY!!!! “It’s probably not the best use of our time,” he says, “but we have to do something. These resolutions make it look like we’re working.” HE ACTUALLY SAID THAT!!!!!

Washington DC is so out of touch with the American people!

May God Bless you and Yours, Dewey Sharon and family

Goood Mooooooooooorning KKIM Family!

May the Peace of the Lord be with You and Yours!!!

“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith,
who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning it’s shame,
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men,
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
Hebrews 12: 2-3

Salina, How wonderful to hear from you! It has been ages! I need some humor here and Salina provided it……….

Clean joke:

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one
house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote ‘Revelation 3:20’ On the back of it and stuck it in the door. When the Offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, ‘Genesis 3:10.’ Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock.’ Genesis 3:10 reads, ‘I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked.’

Thanks for helping us start off the day with a laugh Salina!!!!

THE MAILBAG IS FULL……..A LOT OF RESPONSE TO THE ARMED ROBBERY WRITE UP I DID AFTER GRETCHEN AND HER CO-WORKERS WERE ROBBED AT THE STARBUCKS SHE WORKS AT………..On New Mexico News and Views this week we have been talking about the revolving door of justice in New Mexico….REPEAT OFFENDERS…..just like the thugs who robbed the Starbucks……It is a huge issue for the State Legislature…….writing legislation that will help this issue is a must!

Hi Dewey,

I like the new look on your DDC. Thank you for taking time from your very busy day to do DDC. It is sad about crime these days. I will keep your children in my prayers. My son was robbed at gunpoint while working in a Subway. My son was 16 years old!!! He wasn’t sure it was a real gun, but he didn’t take any chances. He handed over the money. I told him he did the right thing. I had completely forgotten about that until I read your email this morning. Since he didn’t go the $20 bill drops, because he was so busy (and by himself), his boss back charged him $60. He deducted it from his paycheck. Can you believe that?

Also, thanks for calling the police at that convenience store. Everything helps. It is a fallen world. Thank God we have our Lord and Savior.

Thank you,
Charlotte
Dewey,

You’re right about the cause of crime, Meth, there was a meth house busted just a blk from my house about a year ago, last sat night about 3 am sun, someone fired 6 shots in the house on th corner of my street, no one hurt, but the gun shots woke me up, and then yesterday someone found what looked like a pipe bomb in the front yard of a house about 5 houses down the street from me and when I can home from doing the news yesterday morning, the police had the whole street blocked of waiting for the bomb squad. There was a police car in front of my house with his red lights on blocking the street off. Took them about 4 hours to clean the area. I live in such a nice neighborhood.

There are at least 4 or 5 vacant houses with in a block of my house. Some are for sale, some are not, at least 2 are condemned. I’m surprised “homeless” people don’t break into them and stay there. I hope they don’t hear about them.

Have a blessed day………………..

“When the sunshine of God’s love meets the showers of our sorrow, the rainbow of promise appears.”

Glad Gretchen was unharmed. Frankly Dewey the store clerks should all be armed. I think it may have been Atlanta or maybe Jacksonville a couple of decades ago had a rash of store robberies and they put in little broom closet looking things that an officer could sit in and monitor the store. Now not all of them were manned but the thief could not tell if they were or not. The stores posted signs about armed officers may be in the store and after a few of them went to meet the Maker after being surprised by an armed officer, surprise, surprise the number of armed robberies plummeted. The same held true in Kennesaw , GA. when they passed an ordinance requiring every citizen to have a firearm at home and ammunition for it. If one had a religious objection they could get a waiver. But this suburb of Atlanta saw a reduction in crime the first year of nearly 90%! It is like Bastiat said in his book The Law, “When does plunder stop, only when it becomes more painful than work.”

Good Morning Dewey,

I’m so sorry to hear about the horrible experience Gretchen went through. That happened to my daughter a couple of years ago at a Carl’s Jr.. It’s dangerous times and unfortunately according to scripture will not get any better. Praise the Lord for His hand of protection. It reminds me of His divine protection of the children in the wilderness … cloud by day and fire by night!

Please give my love to Michelle during this time of grief. I pray that her dad is with the Lord and is in His perfect joy and peace. I pray that perfect peace for Michelle and her children, too.

Dewey, the free Messianic Conference at the Double Tree Hotel this past weekend was incredible! There were over 500 ministers, pastors, rabbi’s, Messianic Believers, etc … in attendance. I wish you could have joined us. I believe they will be back next year with even more teachers and speakers, Lord willing.

How are your baseball games going? … still hitting them out of the park? 🙂

PRAYER REQUEST
For Manny Maynez who just this week got diagnosed with an inoperable kidney cancer. Pray first for salvation. Thank you Dewey and KKIM family!

Blessings,

Cindy

Oh, Dewey…

(Re: Your “Daily Cup” of 7/30/08, below)

God bless your/our children! My own family and I just returned from a beautiful vacation in green, gorgeous Rhode Island, where my fiance’s family lives. Granted, Providence is your garden-variety ‘big city’ with it’s due measure of crime, corruption, etc. But where we were, in the southern part of the state, it was gorgeous – and so peaceful! People actually leave their doors unlocked! Their keys in the car – and sometimes even idling in the parking lot while they run in to whatever retailer to conduct their business! I was embarrassed to find myself so shocked. Children play in the street and casually stroll – alone – to their various points of interest around their neighborhoods.

It was such an eye-opener. We couldn’t help but marvel at the difference, and how much we had modified our own behavior. Out of habit, we found ourselves locking doors and cars, clutching our wallets close and being hyper-vigilant about so many things that were simply non-issues there.

Then we return home to read the story in yesterday’s paper about the little girl my own daughter’s age, home alone, struggling frantically to get help on the phone while a repeat-offender literally helps himself into her home! God guide and protect all of our children as this is certainly every parent’s nightmare!

As we examine these things, one thought comes to my mind – we can help! We have the power of the Holy Father! And as His children, we must remember to seek Him in all things. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” (Philipians 4:6, NASB)

Therefore, in light of your timely message (God works powerfully through you, Dewey), I would like to propose to our brothers and sisters that we commit to pray, as a group, starting now and ‘without ceasing’ for our community, and for the safely and well-being of all of our precious children. God moves in each of our lives and builds our faith by lovingly responding to our humble cries. And while I don’t doubt that every one of us already holds our children high on our list of prayer topics, our voices can only find more blessing and favor by joining our hearts and minds in the name of our Lord Jesus.

Futher, I would like to propose a special night of prayer this coming Tuesday, August 5th, as it has already been designated as the “National Night Out” (America’s Night Out Against Crime – http://www.nationaltownwatch.org/nno/). You can also contact a neighborhood organizer in your area by plugging in your zip code where indicated on the website. There’s even a special Ice Cream Social in Nob Hill that night, organized by Albuquerque’s ‘Safe City’ team (www.safecityabq.org). By clicking this link, http://www.safecityabq.org/html/SafeCityNNOannouncement.pdf, you can see a full-size flier for the event. Please feel free to print or email it and pass the word.

Great and extraordinary change has always begun with everyday, ordinary people – and God. We, who know Him and hold close the flame of faith within our hearts should capitalize on this opportunity to engender change by appealing to our Holy Father and inviting His assistance for our community and our children. Dewey, with His help, I know we can make a difference. And so I extend this invitation to our brothers and sisters to call on our Father and, “by prayer and supplication and with thanksgiving”, ask His help to support, protect and fortify our community, as well as restore the Lord’s grace and peace within our homes and families. Together we will celebrate the Lord within our hearts and our homes, and throughout our beautiful city. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray.

Yours in Christ –
Grace Cordova

I received this from a friend today and thought I would share. I pray that it doesn’t offend people on their “political views” but it is important for others to know.

Dear Friends,

As I was listening to a news program last
night, I watched in horror as Barack Obama made the
statement with pride. .”we are no longer a Christian
nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews,
Muslims, Buddhists, . . . As with so many other
statements I’ve heard him (and his wife) make, I
never thought I’d see the day that I’d hear
something like that from a presidential candidate in
this nation. To think our forefathers fought and
died for the right for our nation to be a Christian
nation–and to have this man say with pride that we
are no longer that. How far this nation has come
from what our founding fathers intended it to be.
I hope that each of you will do what I’m doing
now–send your concerns, written simply and
sincerely, to the Christians on your email list.
With God’s help, and He is still in control of this
nation and all else, we can show this man and the
world in November that we are, indeed, still a
Christian nation!

Hmmm… I do have some thoughts (my thoughts may agitate some who view what Joel does differently than I do), but I don’t spend a lot of time into Joel Osteen anymore. He definitely is a skilled writer and speaker, as well as a shrewd businessman. He says some good things … but seems to try to avoid some topics to not commit on a stance/belief so he can appear all inclusive. I consider Matt 7:15 & 22 when I have watched and heard him (Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves…Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?) …I remember the story of the serpent in the garden…saying some truths… There is a bit much push to “judge not”, perhaps sometimes misapplied. If we are told to discern or beware or make a good choice… we MUST judge the fruit to make a wise assessment. We are told that what comes out of the mouth reveals the heart of a man (Matt 15:19). When Larry King asked Joel if you can go to heaven if you are Jewish, Muslim, or don’t accept Christ, Joel said, “…I don’t know.” That is scary! If he is a believer then he DOES know that Jesus is THE Way, THE Truth,20THE Light…only through His work on the cross and our acceptance of it can we share in the Hope of Heaven. He also said that he knows the people in India love God even though he doesn’t know much about their religion… The god they (speaking generally of India practices) love is not The One True God, because they don’t believe in Jesus… For Joel’s position, he should be black and white on those topics…the core of our faith. Shame on us for not letting our yes, be yes and our no be clear… he wouldn’t even say an atheist will go to hell IF they die in their rejection of Christ… just overflows in not judging… manipulating vulnerable people’s emotions for his own success/purposes. I know he issued an apology when there was a barrage of questioning and criticism from Christians and it was getting media attention. From what I have seen and heard… I don’t trust the man and I think he is dangerous to needy souls, ultimately. Yes, he does say some positive and encouraging things that are good; that can make us feel really good. I will quit rambling… g’night 🙂 Because of Jesus, Karen in Elkhart

A testimony about Trust By, Karen Rowe

Isaiah 30:15

“This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says:

“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.”

Trust as defined in the dictionary:

Reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.

Confident expectation of something; hope.

June 2008 testimony:

Last month, we took a road trip out West to Yellowstone . The trip all the way to Colorado was wonderful, until we left Fort Collins , CO to finish this trip by way of Wyoming .

The part of Wyoming that we had to travel though was desolate. There was absolutely no civilization for miles and miles and hours and hours. There were times that we didn’t even see another car on the road for a very long time, maybe hours, or at least it seemed.

We had no cell phone service for the majority of this 11 hour trip across Wyoming ! It literally felt like we were the only 5 people for hundreds and hundreds of miles.

It was intimidating and lonely in a way that I had never experienced. I didn’t realize how much that I needed people! I always considered myself as pretty self sufficient to survive just me and God, family and a few close friends, but I really didn’t know how much I needed or missed seeing people!

Dead in the middle of Wyoming , the thought came to me, literally, “What would we do, if we broke down?”

At the end of our vacation, we had to face driving through Wyoming a 2nd time!

We actually passed through one town that had a sign of a population of 10! That made us laugh after all this driving! The elevation was higher than the population. People out there had to rely on each other! God 1st, I hope, but living out there, people need people. You could tell winters got rough by the snow blinds and evidence that roads were meant to be closed in high winds or heavy snow. We all need people…it is evident everywhere we go and there are lonely people out there…

Many miles after that, dead in the middle of Wyoming , the worst happened! We broke down very close to the same area, where just a few days earlier, I had wondered “what we would do if we broke down?”

We had a tire blow out on the camper!!! No cell service and no one in site for miles as far as the eye could see! We got out of the truck to evaluate the situation and found out fairly quickly that we didn’t have a lug nut wrench that would fit the trailer tire!

It actually felt like the worst had happened on an already way too long of a trip! We just stood there trying every different kind of wrench that my husband had. It was not long when a police officer pulled in behind us. I have never been so happy to see blue lights flashing behind me! It was really a miracle in it self that she was there, she was just on her way home and told us it can be hours between patrols out there.

However, she couldn’t help either. She was very nice and really felt bad that all she could do was offer us to call for help! She gave us 2 options: 1) Call a wrecker, which would take up to a couple of hours to arrive or 2) drop the trailer and drive to the nearest town, buy a tool and double back to change the tire…

Neither of those options felt good because the nearest town was over an hour away just to get there, which also meant over an hour back in the hopes that the nearest town would have a store selling the exact wrench that we needed …and we would still have to change the tire and hope for no more problems with tools when we returned.

In spite of this, we chose the 2nd option and we were thinking about dropping the trailer, not knowing how far ahead we would have to go…and that is exactly what we would have done, if we had forgotten to pray…

With no other cars in site as the Police car left, it felt like she was leaving us all alone and I could tell that she had that sense too, but I told her, “it was okay, that God had us here for a reason and HE would take care of us” and then she pulled away.

Although neither of us knew it at the time, Robert and I were both in a mindset of trusting God at that moment.

Robert was on one side of the camper praying about what to do, as I was on the other side praying, as we were united in the same feeling of concerns. I paced back and forth a couple of times and then I prayed, “God we need your help a little more than usual right now. Please send us help.”

I carried my son to the side of the road to wait on a car to flag down. Got into position and couldn’t believe that I saw some cars coming from way down the road. It was a feeling of great hope! Compared to the other day, it seemed like a miracle to us just to see cars!

As they got closer I started flagging, but they just drove by! I couldn’t believe it! Then I saw more cars and flagged desperately at them again, but they too just drove by, pretending that they didn’t see us…but we were the only thing to look at out there…Although, I thought it was a miracle that there was even traffic at that moment…I couldn’t believe how many people just drove on by!

We had a total of 4 cars stop, including the police car, out of maybe 10 or 15, including a couple of big trucks. I would have thought that truckers would stick together like boaters or motorcycle riders, but both of these trucks just drove by. I thought well maybe they can’t stop because of a company rule or something??? I was puzzled at the lack of compassion.

Then the 1st car stopped; a woman! She really tried to help, but she had no wrench that would fit either. So she left, but the fact that she took time out of her already long day to even try to help meant a lot to us!

I got a little more desperate at this point and sent the girls to flag on the right side and I took my son to the left side of the road to flag cars. Who could pass up kids stranded in the middle of no where asking for help was my plan…apparently a few!

I remember a black SUV passed by, just like all the others, but this one would be different! As he went by, I prayed for him and the others who didn’t stop to offer help; I just couldn’t believe that no one would offer help! He went by, but then he backed back up!!! At the same time, another car pulled in behind us!!! We were overjoyed!!! And full of hope!!!

I ran up to the passenger side window and told him our need. I could tell that he really didn’t want to stop, and he was hesitant to admit that he had a wrench at all. He was rushed, stressed and just wanted to finish his own trip, but something had made him stop anyway. I could tell that he tried to drive by, but something inside of him couldn’t do it and he came back! And something inside of him made him pull out that wrench!

Turned out that the man in the SUV, not only had the wrench that fit the trailer tire, but he changed the tire for us!!! My husband is capable of changing a tire and works very hard, but this man just came in and took over!!! He kept telling my husband who was trying to help, “No, I have got it” and wouldn’t take his help to change our own tire!!! He was driven to do this good deed for us and I believe that God had spoken to his heart. I could see a change in that man after the tire was changed…something humbling. We were all blessed that day and God had a purpose in it all!

Then as he was leaving, not only had he changed our tire for us, but he gave us his wrench!!! He said that he wanted us to have it! He would not take any money and all we could do was thank him and tell him how much it meant to us!!! And we thanked God for blessing us with this help!

The 3rd car was there for a reason, I don’t know why, but I could just sense that they needed something…more than us. Maybe they were there just so they could see how God was helping us??? Only God knows all that.

But what God showed me in this blow out was that I wasn’t trusting in God like I was supposed to be all of the time. Remember my thought, “what would I do?”

We found out that “We couldn’t do much of anything” and we found out that God can do the impossible!

From that prayer, God brought us help and had us back on the road in less than an hour total! God humbled my heart that day. All of the sudden, my heart didn’t feel so heavy with dread and burden, I felt light and just happy to be in the moment…resting in God!

To keep that moment, we have to trust God in all that we do! And we have to lean on HIM when it seems impossible…just simply to know by Faith, God is near!

Don’t wait on a blow out to know that we can trust people too. God showed me that we need people; we need each other and we can be trusted.

We cannot let the few cars that drive by; or the few people who hurt us ,or who are dishonest define who all people are!

We can listen to our heart; God in our heart; the Holy Spirit and know who we can trust!!! Believe in God and trust in HIS people.

I hope that we can serve God well in being a witness in faith and trust in a way that pleases God. I encourage us to pick up the Bible and learn more about Trust and trustworthy for God.

Titus 2:9

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.”

Love in Christ,

Karen Rowe
