Have you entered our “Weekend To Remember Contest”? Please check it out at www.mykkim.com We announce the winner Wed. at 4:30 on New Mexico News and Views. I interviewed by dear friend Doug Scarborough of Family Life last week about the conference. Many say this is the best marriage conference in history! If you can please attend. Please pray about this.
Let us now check out prayer list………..
Here is an update on our dear friend RuthAnn………..
Hello Everyone,
My family and I would like to thank you for all the hugs, notes and prayers you have sent our way, they have been received with grateful hearts.
We have received the news tonight from Mom?s (RuthAnn?s) lung biopsy Wednesday and it was not the news we were all praying for. It seems the right lower lobe of her lung has been classified with Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma. (below is the definition)
We do know we can fight this and are preparing to do so 150%. We will overcome this.
Please keep the hope, love and prayers coming. I will keep you updated as much as I can.
Thanks and love,
Paula, Phil and RuthAnn Carr (Phx)
Grandma Landes (Indiana)
Ken and DeEtta Coe (Indiana)
Please keep RuthAnn and family in your prayers.
All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

KKIM’s Frank Haley sent this to me……..The impact of radio………….It says a lot about what KKIM is all about, serving people………KKIM radio today……..is like radio used to be………It’s all about CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT I was taught that at the start of my radio life! Media has failed big time on CONTENT
It was during the 1920 presidential election that one of America’s first radio stations, KDKA, demonstrated why America wanted and needed radio.
This was the first time that election returns were announced live to an audience eager to hear them.
No longer did folks have to wait for the newspaper special edition to hit the street the next morning. Lucky listeners already knew Warren Harding had won the election, and that news had come to them, like magic, from the sky.
As reported in the book Hello, Everybody!: The Dawn of American Radio, the excitement triggered by KDKA’s coverage set off a national mania.
On the morning of November 3, Westinghouse’s switchboard was flooded with calls from people wanting to find out how they could get a radio.
To be sure, radio was the iPod of the 1920’s. And, just as sure, HD radio is not the iPod of the 2000’s.
I haven’t written much about HD radio lately because, like the vast majority of America, I’m not particularly interested in it. After all, radio’s challenges and opportunities run deep and long, and HD is neither challenge nor opportunity.
It’s worth noting, however, that in our zeal to establish this new medium as one that matters, we have forgotten the lessons of our own industry’s history.
What, after all, are the lessons of the mania sparked by KDKA on a cold winter’s night in 1920? What was it that made radio worth wanting for those folks who had none?
Three things, I think:
1. Radio provided highly desirable content. Election results – Presidential election results – hours before the newspaper? That’s attractive content.
2. Radio provided something that couldn’t be gotten any other way. Unless someone who heard the broadcast called you to tell you about it, you would have to wait for the morning paper. And that call from a friend only served to sell you on the need to buy your own radio.
3. Radio was dramatically different from all other substitutes. In its earliest days, radio was indistinguishable from magic. What was the next closest medium? Recorded discs? The newspaper?
The fate of HD radio was sealed even before it was introduced.
It would never contain highly desirable content because such content comes at a price, and no rational broadcaster would stick such valuable content on radios that didn’t exist yet in the marketplace, yet the lesson above clearly suggests that there is no demand without the valuable content to drive it.
Especially in this Internet-enabled age, HD provides nothing that couldn’t be gotten in many other ways. More every day.
HD is dramatically similar to – not different from – all of those alternatives, and not necessarily better than any.
This may well be the last time I even comment on HD, so completely has my interest in it waned.
I’ll leave you with this evergreen reminder: Technology is transitional. Content is forever.
Here is the latest from Pastor/Congressman Bill Redmond………
Dear Friends in Christian Media,
Gay marriage may be law in New Mexico 9 days from today!
I want to thank you for all your hard work in getting the word out to Christians across our state. Attached are three documents:
1. The briefing presented to all 3 New Mexico Catholic bishops by Lt. Gov. Walter Bradley, this briefing was what got the bishops on board to help us defeat gay marriage;
2. “Proof Positive”, a synopsis of the catastrophic damage this type of legislation HAS DONE ALREADY in other states. Pastors will be fined if they refuse to conduct same-sex marriages, Christian media will be required to carry gay programing;
3. Potential Hearing and Voting Schedule – this is the possible “best game” for the supporters of gay marriage (domestic partnership) we are aware of. This is our first line of defense schedule. Committee chairpersons may change the schedule at any time. Last year chairpersons kept postponing the hearings hoping the Christians would grow weary and go home.
As of today it looks like the bill will pass all 4 committee hearings with a recommended “Do Pass” as it goes to the floor.
We are 2 – 4 votes short of defeating the bill on the Senate Floor. It is highly unlikely we can stop it on the House Floor.
To defeat this bill we need phone calls and emails from Christians pouring into the Capitol by the thousands every day this week. We need pastors and their church members at the Capitol Tue. – Fri. packing out the committee rooms. Though we expect to loose in committee, the news of crowds will make its way to the Senate floor where we have a chance to defeat it.
My office will provide an event by event report to all Christian media outlets, hourly if necessary. This report will contain what has just happened and what action Christians need to take at each step in the process. We may plan to have a “crash the switchboard” hour. This was successful when used by the home school families when a bill was introduced to require all home school parents to have a degree in education in order to home school. We may use this tactic if necessary.
To ensure defeat of this evil legislation, as a Christian media outlet, please help with the following:
If any one has the contact for the Christian media outlets in Farmington or other locations in the state, please send me the info. If you have Christian friends in secular media that would run our material, please send me that info as well.
It is the Lord who provides the victory.
Bill Redmond
Here is a note from Shona Neff who you hear on KKIM Saturday mornings at 7:30………..
Dewey,
I sent the following letter to our NM state Representatives and Senators. Interesting thing, it bounced back from 22 or 23 of the Reps. Thankfully, nothing has been kicked back from any senator mailboxes. Thank you for all that you and KKIM are doing to get the word out about what is going on. I’ve been feeling a nudge for about the last two days to get into the book of Isaiah and finally relented last night about 9:00. Oh my, so many similarities about, not only the same-sex marriage issue in NM, but what our country is facing with the new administration. Yikes….I’m glad I’m on God’s side and trying to be faithful to Him. Thankfully He desires our faithfulness and doesn’t require success; I think Christians are going to be struggling to find success in the current political atmosphere, but we must never lose faith in our miracle making Lord…and that is what we must be loyal to.
Have a great weekend and, again, thanks to you and all the troops who are getting to SF and working that front line. I’ll do what I can in back of the ranks and maybe we can make a miracle with God’s help.
Shona
Dear New Mexico State Legislators:
I am contacting you regarding the expected vote for same-sex marriage. I realize some of you may be tempted to quit reading this email because you have already made up your mind, but I encourage you to continue reading because you were elected to represent the citizens of New Mexico of which I am one.
I am not for allowing same-sex marriage in our state. Although I am Christian, I realize that I cannot expect non-Christians to claim the views of a God they do not claim to follow. However, one does not have to be Christian to recognize the egregious effects same-sex marriage can have on or contribute to a society.
I realize some people may immediately label me a “homophobe” and, for those who are into labels, that’s their prerogative. I will admit I do not agree with the homosexual lifestyle, but that isn’t my cause. I support a strong society and strong societies are the result of strong families. Research based on fact, not the Bible, shows the damaging effects of homo-sexual marriage on families.
Because politicians are elected to represent the people, I encourage you to make an informed decision if this issue comes up for a vote. There are a lot of great sources you can use to educate yourselves on this issue, but I realize most legislators are tight on time. I’ve linked to two articles that show the state of marriage in Scandinavia and Norway due to the unintended effects of a society that doesn’t protect the sanctity of marriage. Again, I realize there are those who have made up their minds to support this damaging issue, but I challenge you to step out of the cultural status quo and inform yourselves with fact.
Every one of you will leave a legacy for generations to come. Read these articles and decide what kind of legacy you want in New Mexico.
As the poem by James Russell Lowell reminds us, truth is on the scaffold and wrong is on the throne. As a society, we need to open our eyes, get informed, and score some points for Truth. If you made it all the way to this point in my email, I thank you. I hope you will explore the articles and support families. We are drowning out here and we don’t need the water to be any deeper. All I ask is that you make an informed decision. Society isn’t always going to agree, but we can all want the best for our children and our children’s children and same-sex marriage isn’t it…no matter your religious affiliation and/or gender. It’s for the kids and they are worth sacrificing so they have a strong society to grow up in and raise their own families.
Sincerely,
Shona Neff
