Dear KKIM Family,
PRAISE GOD!!! We are able to be together for HIM today!
I broke down in tears of PRAISE and JOY yesterday during New Mexico News and Views, just realizing all that I have been blessed. I have the best job in the world!!!! I get to serve the Lord all my waking hours!!!! WOW!!
This is from Pastor Mark Tross……….
Dewey, here’s the quote from Leonard Ravenhill, “Even if God were to send us all to hell, He would still be Worthy of ALL our Praise, because He’s still God.” AMEN!!!
Anything is possible if a person believes. Mark 9:23
Something to chew on……..Christ’s abiding presence requires a life of unceasing faith.
We have a very special New Mexico News and Views tonight at 4:30…….We will focus on Passover.
From Pastor Mark Scales, “I really appreciate stations like KKIM that work everyday at putting God at the top of our minds.”
We PRAISE GOD for KKIM, soon to be 37 years old on April 15th. I hope to share with you a little history of the founders of KKIM, in the next few weeks.
It is right to give PRAISE and GLORY to GOD!!!!
Okay I got caught very early with our April Fool’s joke yesterday………….
In the next space flight from the New Mexico Spaceport KKIM’s Frank Haley has been selected to be one of the passengers. The flight is expected to be launched in time for KKIM’s 37th Birthday on April 15th. KKIM’s Manager Dewey Moede says, “WOW, on KKIM’s 37th birthday our own Frank Haley will be launched into space! How exciting!” Spaceport officials say that the flight will circle the earth 20 times before returning to earth sometime in late April. Haley is a Hall-of-Fame broadcaster who has achieved much in his career. Haley had this to say about the honor, “I wonder if I will be able to see New Mexico and Alaska from space?” Spaceport officials say they have configured a way that Frank will be able to do his news broadcasts from space. This would make Haley the first radio broadcaster to do his news from space, another milestone for the Hall-of-Famer.
Karen Rowe got me………..
Dewey,
That is sooo cool! Guess what! I will be joining Frank! Can’t wait to meet him! NASA just called me and asked if I would be willing to do Hope In Today from Space too! What a thrill!
I am a little concerned about leaving the kids for that long, but my husband said that this is just a once in a lifetime opportunity and I should go for it!
Wow…I am hoping that I can sing, “HE’s got the whole world in HIS hands” from the space ship as I circle the earth and see this planet through the eyes of “Rocket Man” like a little ripe Blueberry!
I hope to learn many foreign languages before I depart for the launch pad so that I can sing, “HE’s got the whole world in HIS hands” in many languages for the whole world to join in!
My hope is that the entire world will join with us in Praising God!
PS…the Space ship part is just an April Fool! Hope it made you smile! HA HA HA HA!!!
PSS…Last year you totally got me, cuz I remember wandering …what is he gonna do up there???
…But you still got me, cuz I remember thinking…with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! (which is TRUE)…But the space thing…that IS funny!!! HEE HEE…ha ha ha ha ha ha!
HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY!
AND PRAISE GOD HE GAVE US THE ABILITY TO LAUGH! Thanks for the chuckles this morning!
Love, Karen Rowe….Mayberry, NC….Ha!
We are just proving once again, that Christians can have fun too!!!!
Karen, Make sure and say Hi to Andy and Barney in Mayberry. Karen actually get’s to ride in the squad car once in awhile and Barney let’s her sound the siren!!! I am jealous!!!!
We are going to have a VERY SPECIAL program for you on GOOD FRIDAY. Pastor Vic Tafoya is going to have a special program for us on GOOD FRIDAY at 4:30. Instead of our regular broadcast of New Mexico News and Views we will have Pastor Vic of True Life Fellowship……….
Hey Dewey, without really getting into the message to much, Its going to be taken from Mark 15:15-20 in a message entitled “for loves sake” And I guess I came up with that title after asking myself why would God allow his son to die for me and why would Jesus willingly take the brunt of the punishment that was rightly due me upon himself. I found the answer in 1 John 3:16, 4:9-10. God allowed it and Jesus took it all for loves sake, true loves sake. In the message we look at a few points in particular about true love and how Jesus is our greatest example of it. 1st: true love is enduring love. 2nd: True love is always self-sacrificing.
We PRAISE GOD for this opportunity and we know already that this program will bless many. So listen in GOOD FRIDAY at 4:30 for this LIVE program! We are so blessed to have friends like Pastor Vic and his wife Barbara!!!!
“KKIM has solid programming all day long.” from Pastor Mark Tross
Today, we are BOASTING IN THE LORD for what HE has done with HIS ministry KKIM!!!
This note from Nicole, who we have been praying for…………
Thank you for all your prayers everyone. I found a renewed spirit with our Dear Lord yesterday. I was able to get together a package of product to take out to my dear account, who have been wanting some pieces for such a long time. When I arrived I felt so good to be able to hand them these pieces and the owner said she would take whatever I had. So I’m taking out more pieces tomorrow. Thank you all so much. Thank you Jesus. He gave me the strength and will to get up and out and keep up with my dream. I’ve been doing this for 10 years, can’t quit now.
Once again thank you to everyone. Dewey and Sharon you are surely God’s Angels.
God Bless all of you.
Nicole
God Bless you Nicole, we are here for you………The following letter was sent in my Karen Rowe of Hope in Today heard Saturdays on KKIM at 7:45, it is to Nicole but it is an AWESOME message for us all………..
Dear Nicole,
I felt compelled to write to you because…I have been there too. You are turning the right way, so stay encouraged! Faith never fails! You have a wonderful heart for God..l can tell in your letter…your heart is so good! I pray to God for you and with you and I know that HE hears them. And if I know that HE hears them then I know that HE is in them…God is above all things…I believe for you and with you!
My friend once told me, as we were both going through a struggle like this…
“God doesn’t give patience; HE teaches it” That still encourages me to look for what God is teaching me in every trial that I face. I just want to let you know that you are not alone …EVER! God IS with you!
And God has put people in your life to love you too! I just hope that you know how sincere my words are to you today.
We have all been there, so stay encouraged…and you are soooo right to think positive! Thinking positive when we feel weak is a struggle in itself, but you are right…focus positive and stay strong in faith knowing that God always loves you! Focus on Jesus and lean on HIS strength to remain positive…We are weak, but HE is strong!
A test of the heart is a struggle, but just rest in the knowledge that you are destined to succeed! God always moves us forward and upward!
It may look scary or gloomy at times…but know that we all face these struggles….but God feeds the birds and HE will take care of you as well. I know that you know these things, but I write them, because when I am weak, I just need to hear them from someone else sometimes.
You are not alone, because God said that HE will never leave or forsake us when we remain faithful to HIM.
The scripture that rests my soul is “Be still and know that I am God”
A pastor once said, “look up to what God can do…not out toward the obvious”
Sometimes, I get emotionally weak, but rest in God prepares us in faith to just trust HIM. And sometimes God just needs us to rest in HIM to hear HIM and in that rest just PRAISE HIM. Rest from the troubles, not from God.
Stay into the WORD of God and rest assured that HE IS watching over you with loving hands…HE may be teaching you how to have GREAT FAITH…and what a blessing that is on the other side!
God Bless you, and remember when you are weak and know nothing else to do…may just mean to rest in PRAISE to God and listen for HIS still voice that tells you what to do.
One more quote from a local church sign that I read every day when I was struggling with staying strong…
“Worrying just questions God’s plan”
God’s promise to us is that HE will never leave or forsake us and when we apply our faith to trusting HIM…HE does great things for us!
Greater IS HE that is in me than he that is in the world! Praise God!
Love sent your way,
Karen Rowe
This message from Pastor Leonard Navarre of Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood and host of Bible Boost on KKIM Mon, Wed, and Fri at 5:05pm…….
HAVE NO ANXIETY!
I don’t know about you, but I suspect you are much like me. There are times when I feel anxious, worried and now right nervous over how life is shaping up for me. Our Bible Boost for today speaks to those feelings. Philippians 4:6-7 says, “The Lord is near; have no anxiety, but in everything make your request known to God in prayer and petition with thanksgiving. Then the peace of God which is beyond our utmost understanding will guard your hearts and thoughts, IN CHRIST JESUS.”
Notice how logically and beautifully this passage unfolds. The recognition of God’s presence is followed by the admonition “not to worry”.
Overcoming worry and anxiety begins with recognizing that God is near. Joshua 1:9 says, “do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Jesus said in Matthew 28:20, “and I am with you always, even to the end of the ages.” So one of the first steps in overcoming worry and being anxious is to realize that “GOD IS NEAR”.
Reminds me of a story I heard long ago of a little boy who was scared still to walk down the street where a bully resided. One day one of his friends saw him walking right by the bully’s house and inquired why he wasn’t afraid to walk by the bully’s house. The little boy responded, “Well, my big brother is watching out the picture window to make sure I make it pass the bully’s house.”
God is watching, God is providing, God is close. So, do not be afraid and do not be discouraged.
The text also stresses the need for prayer and how to pray. We are to take all things to the Lord in prayer WITH THANKSGIVING. Notice the emphasis. Not just pray. BUT, pray with thanksgiving for whatever it is that is causing the anxiety.
So, I challenge you. Put this scripture to the test. The next time you find yourself on edge with anxiety. You are worried, wringing you hands, don’t know what to do or where to turn. Pray, thanking God for whatever it is that’s causing the worry. Notice, it doesn’t matter the circumstance, for it says, “in everything” our prayers are to be offered with “thanksgiving”. I challenge you never to ask God for anything, anytime without reflecting upon the ledger of His bountiful blessings.
REMEMER now. Where is the apostle Paul when he writes these words. Do you remember? He is in jail. And from jail writes these words about “guarding your hearts”. Because Paul knows that if you allow your mind to wander it will bring up all sorts of creatures from the shadows. So Paul writes these words without anxiety worry or despair. What a great example for us today.
We can guide our minds and emotions to the promises of these words in Philippians. God is near. Don’t worry. God will hear, don’t worry. Give thanks for what God is doing and has done. Don’t worry.
When we follow these teachings, verse 7 says that a peace beyond our understanding or the worlds understanding will overflow into our hearts and lives to set up barriers against negative and inappropriate thoughts.
When we take our thoughts so stained with mistrust and purge them with the overflow of a grateful heart, we find that God is on guard just like this scripture tells us. We discover that the painful notions of worry are replaced by the soothing assurance of His presence and His peace.
Your Bible boost for today is from Philippians 4:6 and 7… “God is near have no anxiety but in everything with thanksgiving let your requests be made known.”
I am praying for you and your family,
Leonard

To further prove that Christians can have fun……..
This is from our dear friend Shauna……….
How old is Grandpa???
——————————————————————————–
——————————————————————————–
Stay with this — the answer is at the end, it will blow you away.
One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events.
The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.
The Grandfather replied, ‘Well, let me think a minute, I was born before:
‘ television
‘ penicillin
‘ polio shots
‘ frozen foods
‘ Xerox
‘ contact lenses
‘ Frisbees and
‘ the pill
There were no:
‘ credit cards
‘ laser beams or
‘ ball-point pens
Man had not invented:
‘ pantyhose
‘ air conditioners
‘ dishwashers
‘ clothes dryers
‘ and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and
‘ man hadn’t yet walked on the moon
——————————————————————————–
——————————————————————————–
Your Grandmother and I got married first, . . … And then lived together.
Every family had a father and a mother.
Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, ‘Sir’.
And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, ‘Sir.’
We were before gay-rights, computer- dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.
Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.
We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.
Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.
We thought ‘fast’ food was what people ate during Lent.
Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins.
Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started.
Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums.
——————————————————————————–
We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.
We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President’s speeches on our radios.
And I don’t ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.
If you saw anything with ‘Made in Japan ‘ on it, it was junk
The term ‘making out’ referred to how you did on your school exam.
Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, and instant coffee were unheard of.
We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.
Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel.
And if you didn’t want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.
You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, . … But who could afford one?
Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.
In my day:
‘ ‘grass’ was mowed,
‘ ‘coke’ was a cold drink,
‘ ‘pot’ was something your mother cooked in and
‘ ‘rock music’ was your grandmother’s lullaby.
‘ ‘Aids’ were helpers in the Principal’s office,
‘ ‘ chip’ meant a piece of wood,
‘ ‘hardware’ was found in a hardware store and
‘ ‘software’ wasn’t even a word.
——————————————————————————–
And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.
No wonder people call us ‘old and confused’ and say there is a generation gap.
And how old do you think I am?
I bet you have this old man in mind…you are in for a shock!
Are you ready ?????
THIS MAN IS ONLY 59 YEARS OLD!
WOW! I am 53!!!!
Let us pray………
Father,
You know how hard it is for us to wait. Instant solutions and success are what we usually crave. Season our souls that we might not miss eternity in the here and now. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
