Dear KKIM Family,
Our prayers are with Cowboy Clarence and his family as his Uncle Richard passed away yesterday in Albuquerque. Clarence knows that his Uncle Richard is now with the Lord, but will miss him here on earth. Uncle Richard used to take Clarence to a lot of festivals and they had lot’s of fun together. Please keep the family in your prayers.
Please pray for Gene Jenkins of Santa Fe who has skin cancer. Please pray for healing.
Please pray for a good outcome of the hearing at the Roundhouse and the Meeting of
Catholic Leaders with Gov. Richardson this afternoon.
This afternoon at 2:30 is the first hearing on the same sex marriage bill. Please keep this in your prayers. Also please pray for Gov. Bill Richardson that he will have a change of heart. Keep this in your prayers……..The Gov. is going to meet with leaders of the Catholic Church this afternoon at 3:30. The Gov. is Catholic. The Catholic Church is one of the leaders in trying to get the same sex marriage bill defeated. Let us pray for our Gov. What is happening here is so AWESOME! Last night on New Mexico News and Views Pastor Steve Smothermon talked about the efforts of all………Evangelicals, Protestants, Catholics…….all coming together to defeat this bill. The Catholic Church leaders have a letter from the Pope denouncing this bill. Walls are coming down and brining God’s people together, that is one blessing I see going on here!
This is from Pastor/Congressman Bill Redmond……….
The legislative web site has 505-986-4300.
We are asking for massive numbers of calls to flood in beginning at noon Wednesday to help set the stage and tone for the hearing. Ask your listeners and viewers to call their senators, reps and the Governors office. Be praying during the 3:30 hour. The Catholic bishops will be meeting with the governor.

Joint Hearing Plans Being Kept Secret
SANTA FE, NM – Since the beginning of the week, the halls of the
Roundhouse and the blogosphere has been abuzz with rumors that Domestic
Partnership proponents are pushing for a joint hearing of the Senate
Judiciary and Public Affairs committees in an effort to rush the bill
through and stifle public input.
The Senate Daybook for Wednesday, January 28, 2009, was released this
evening. It shows a 2:30 p.m. meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee
in– Room 321 to discuss SB 12, the Domestic Partner bill. However, a
call to Senate staff confirms that there has been talk about a joint
hearing on the floor for tomorrow afternoon. Waiting until tomorrow to
announce the joint hearing is sure to leave many second guessing the
motives of the committees’ leadership.
“Less than a week ago 3,000 New Mexicans marched on the Roundhouse to let
the legislators know that we oppose this attempt to redefine marriage,”
said Pastor Steve Smothermon of Voices for Family Values. “Now, it appears
that Senate proponents of the bill are trying to stifle our voices. By
combining the committees, they will be severely limiting public input on a
bill which will have serious ramifications for all New Mexicans.”
Recent Supreme Court decisions in California and Connecticut have
demonstrated that recently passed domestic-partnership laws are now being
used to redefine marriage. Questions have also been raised in the legal
community about the threat to religious freedom and the additional burdens
it will place on businesses.
About Voices for Family Values
Voices for Family Values is a coalition of concerned New Mexicans
committed to traditional family values including that the definition of
marriage remains as the union of one man and one woman.
Now will join me in the reading of God’s word and prayer……….From Nik………..
VERSE:
He [the one who delights in and meditates upon the Law of the
Lord] is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its
fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does
prospers.
— Psalm 1:3
THOUGHT:
Some kinds of earthly delight can feed our hearts for a short
time. However, when difficulties come, our hearts will wither in
the drought of their false nourishment. On the other hand,
delighting in the LORD and in his will for us provides us with
ongoing and ever-fresh joy. Out of this God-seeking lifestyle come
both short-term and long-term benefits as well as a resiliency that
withstands life’s worst droughts.
PRAYER:
Dear God, the Holy One of heaven, I do find my delight in you
and your ways. I find my refreshment in your abiding Spirit. Please
give me the wisdom to seek your will every day of my life. In
Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
