Dewey meets George Bush ???
okay….maybe not the REAL George Bush.. but a very close second!
GOOD DAY!!!!
PRAISE GOD I AM BACK!!!
I missed you all so much!!!
I am so BLESSED to be able to be with you and yours! You are such a blessing to me! I am so BLESSED! Got an email that got wiped out when son Lars cleaned up my computer over 2,000 emails when I was gone……but the email stated that she loved the cup and said it was like I was on the other side of her computer…..that is such a blessing to me…..that is why we are here everyday or so to share a cup…………share our Praises and sorrows…….we are a family in Christ. PRAISE GOD!!!!
I was gone 6 days! WOW! I got homesick! As Dr. Larry Bates said, that is not a bad thing! Lars and his friend Austin met me at the Airport yesterday (Sharon was at work) and the Dogs gave me a warm welcome home! It was a WONDERFUL trip, but glad to be home!
Let the hearts of those REJOICE who seek the LORD! Psalm 105:3
Please take in today’s entire CUP….make sure and read until the end.
I tried emailing you all from the Convention but I had AOL problems.
How about the guy to the left? Not me but the George Bush look-a-like!!!
His name is John Morgan a George Bush Impersonator who appeared at the National Religious Broadcasters convention. He is so GOOD! I asked him if he had talked to Dick Cheney since they left office and he replied, “Oh yea, Dick is still trying to tell me what to do!” HA! HA!
Let me first start out wishing Doug Moore a Happy Birthday! Doug is 37 today! Doug is the morning man at WFRN. www.wfrn.com! Way to go Doug!!!
Please pray for Doug’s Mother, Jan, as she goes through the process of praying and seeking the Lord’s will if she should have a liver transplant. Please keep Jan and the family in your prayers.
Just got an update from De Etta Coe on her sister Ruth Ann, who we have been praying for. Ruth Ann underwent 4 1/2 hours of surgery to remove the cancer from one of her lungs. Please continue to pray for Ruth Ann as she recovers from her surgery.
Also this from out dear friend Miki in Santa Fe……..
Hi, Dewey –
Here’s a prayer request from Steve Pearce (Congressman) about a friend of his.
Miki
Mark Van Dyke’s wife was flown to Albuquerque to University Hospital
with bleeding on the brain. She was stabilized but as of about noon today
(Monday) no new word. Not sure what is causing the problem. Say a prayer
for her and for Mark. I will update you when I get new information.
Please keep us posted Miki.
Preserve me, O God, for in YOU I put my trust. Psalm 36:1
Is that not peaceful……in these times and all times let us put our trust in the Lord. I had a nice talk with a few Vietnam Vet’s who were at Dr. Larry Bates seminar in Nashville and they said they had a rude awakening fighting in that war…..they would never trust the government again. They put all their trust in the Lord and witness to others. I respect so much the people who have and who are serving our country. Last night on the way home from Dallas, one of the stewardesses announced on the plane that we had a few military people flying with us who had just come back from the Iraq and Afghanistan and the plane erupted in cheers, clapping and thanks!
I am now officially Uncle Dewey to Dr. Larry Bates family. www.irnnews.com Chuck Bates, co-host of News and Views, his daughter Hayley turns 2 this Sunday. She is so precious!!! She call’s me Uncle Dewey! I wanted to bring her home with me but Chuck and Missy (Chuck’s wife) wouldn’t let me! HA! HA!
All the folks at IRN/USA Radio treated me so nice while I was with them for the week. I am so thankful for the relationship we have!!!
I got to meet folks who read the Cup everyday! Lee Ann and Michelle with Ambassador, Emmett and Michael with Family Life Today, Tom and Jim with Programming Plus and many more! I am so thankful for the relationships in Christ!
Mentioning Family Life Today………this weekend is the “Weekend To Remember” in Albuquerque! Sharon and I will be there! KKIM will have a booth……..stop by and see us! I have not checked with my buddy Doug, who reads the cup!, but there still may be room for you! What a gift for your wife………check it out at www.mykkim.com
I had a nice talk with Dr. Charles Stanley www.intouch.org heard weekdays/nights on KKIM at 8:05……What a lovely man….had a short visit with Woodrow Kroll www.backtothebible.org He is on weekdays at 9am. Woodrow loves to teach the Bible!
Psalm 25:7
Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;
According to YOUR mercy remember me, For YOUR goodness’ sake, O LORD.
Other Notes……….
Thanks to Pastor Mark Tross, Pastor Leonard Navarre, Frank Haley, Richard Spray and Bobby Jones for filling in for me while I was away…….I heard the ratings went up while I was gone!
Thanks to you all who kept Pastor Mark and Leonard informed on the news from the Roundhouse.
Thanks to Linda and Shannon, Dr. Bates assistants, for being so nice to me!
I was wondering while I walked the convention floor……..and saw so many Christian books on display……..all the major publishers were there…………with so many books on Christian living…….why do we have so many problems???……..more books on the Christian way of life than ever.
One sad note………A man was walking around dressed up like Jesus…….and having his picture taken with folks (Like Santa Claus) It made me sad to see this at the NRB…..George Bush impersonator I can understand……….but not JESUS!
I did not meet one person who is in favor of the present bail out bill.
Many can not understand why Bill Richardson is still the Gov. of New Mexico. If he was not good enough to serve in Presidents Obama’s cabinet, many feel he should not remain as Gov. Please pray for Bill Richardson that he will invite the Lord into his heart.
The State of New Mexico is in the prayers of many for the anti-Christian legislation being proposed at the Roundhouse.
Attended a meeting where the press could not bring recorders or cameras, Voice of the Martyrs, had a wonderful man from China talk about how he was sent to prison for distributing Bibles. China is not as free in this area as many have been led to believe.
If you have not read Dr. Larry Bates book, “The New Economic Disorder” Please go to www.irnnews.com and get it today…….you need to read it!
I am going to close with this………..
From our Dear Friend The New Mexico Watchman, Jose, who watches the Roundhouse for us…….
Dear Friends,
We continue to follow specific legislation in the 2009 New Mexico State Legislature. We are in the four of the nine week session. Your contribution of prayer, legislative visits, phone calls and emails are most appreciated.
Thank you and God bless you.
Jose Vasquez
