WEEKEND CUP IS OVERFLOWING!!!! KKIM/DDC

Good Morning KKIM Family!

May the Peace and STRENGTH of our Lord be with You and Yours!
I have got to start this off with a FUNNY BONE from Jan and Mike it is so AWESOME!
Hi Dewey,
Mike’s cousin from Minnesota sent these, he is 87 years old…..looks and acts like he is 50!!! Take care, Jan B.

You older folks will enjoy this. You younger folks can use it to see into the future.
An elderly gentleman…Had serious hearing problems for a number
of years. He went to the doctor and the
doctor was able to have him fitted for a set
of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman
to hear 100% . The elderly gentleman went
back in a month to the doctor and the
doctor said, ‘Your hearing is perfect. Your
family must be really pleased that you can
hear again.’ The gentleman replied, ‘Oh, I haven’t told
my family yet. I just sit around and listen
to the conversations. I’ve changed my will
three times!’

Thanks Jan and Mike we all needed that!
I am going to be on KFLQ Family Life Radio this morning at about 8:15……..with a softball challenge for Nathan and Dan. I play on the Heights Christian team and we play the team Nathan manages, First Family, Monday night! This should be FUN!!!! Nathan may join Grant and I today at 4:30 on KKIM!
You missed this if you did not catch New Mexico News and Views yesterday………
Jenny talked how she was arrested 24 times as a juvenile. Jenny also spent time not just in D hall as they call it, but in prison. She has turned her life over to Jesus now and is clean and married. She lives in Albuquerque. We have for months talked about the problem of repeat offenders on New Mexico News and Views, but we must not give up on them. Jenny is proof of that and now she ministers to people that are in the same boat she was in at one time in her life! New Mexico News and Views can be heard weekdays on KKIM at 4:30! What a gift this program has been from the LORD!
Brenda writes that she would like to see a KKIM/DDC breakfast! How about you? Would you all in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area want to get together for coffee some day in the coming months? Send me an email if you would be interested so we can plan accordingly. radiodewey@aol.com I just wish you all could be here for that event if we end up holding it.
A couple times this week I have read scripture to my Uncle Joe by phone, he lives in an assisted living center in Apple Valley, Minnesota. One of those verses was……….
“and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
“but everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand Matthew 7: 25-26
Is your life built on the rock or sand?
Please pray for Sharon’s Dad as his dementia has worsened.
Please pray for the David North family. David’s wife, Cindy passed away this week.
Please check out the new KKIM new web site!!!! It is AWESOME!!! www.mykkim.com Let us know what you think. Take the KKIM poll while you are there.
We have had a lot of emails since my posting on abortion. I am now going to empty some of the mailbag……………….

Dewey, we so admire you for getting serious about LIFE. We arebehind you 100%, and are so impressed (and glad) to see that youare a man with the courage to take a stand that will not necessarilybe admired by the politically correct media. Thank you for followingGod’s call in the middle of the night.A friend forwarded me the message below, which talks about two veryimportant men who don’t have the insight and God’s strong call thatyou have declared to the world.God bless you!Miki Vasquez—– Original Message —–From: Anna HigginsSent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 10:31 AMSubject: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Men Running for President Need to GetSeriousFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEAugust 20, 2008FOR MORE INFORMATION:NATALIE BELL(202) 488-7000, ext. 126The Men Running for President Need to Get SeriousAbortion Is Not a Political GameWashington, D.C. – Concerned Women for America (CWA) today called on boththe Republican and Democrat candidates to get serious about thedeadliest issue facing America. Wendy Wright, president of CWA, hadsome tough words for the men running for president of the United States.”These two men need to stop acting like abortion is a game of politicaltheater. To treat abortion as they have both been doing over the lastfew days, as a mere means of manipulating voters, is not acceptable toAmericans but especially not to women. Abortion is no more a politicaltool today than slavery was 150 years ago. Today’s paramount humanrights issue – the right to live – is not a toy for political cynics. They need to realize that Americans care too much for women – many ofwhom have suffered from abortion’s effects – and babies to accept howthese men have treated abortion. Unborn children deserve basic humanrights and their struggling mothers need better options. Obama andMcCain need to get serious.”In recent days, John McCain appeared at a major evangelical church wherehe seemed to stand firm on pro-life principles. Yet he followed up afine performance with public hints that he is considering a pro-abortionvice presidential pick. A running mate, the person who would be oneheartbeat away from the presidency, must be as serious about protectinginnocent life as the person on the top of the ticket. As the nation’slargest pro-life women’s organization, CWA calls on John McCain tovalidate his pro-life credentials by choosing a running mate thatsupports his party’s pro-life position. Anything short of a 100%pro-life running mate will lead to conservative women staying home onElection Day.In recent days, Barack Obama created an embarrassing spectacle in whichhe was shown to be less than candid about his position on importantbills to protect already born babies who survived abortion. CWA helpedexpose the inhumane practice of “live birth abortions” and worked topass “Born Alive Infant Protection” bills at the federal and statelevel. Contrary to Obama’s claim that there was no need for a statebill, CWA requested a legal analysis from the Illinois Attorney Generalwho clearly stated that the current law did not extend to babies bornalive after abortions. Obama can’t seem to decide whether that kind oflegislation is worth understanding much less supporting. Pay attentionSenator! The bottom line is that Obama opposed life-saving legislationfor babies who were already born. In his own words, that “defiescommon sense” and “defies imagination.” Women don’t think the ideaof protecting children is above anyone’s pay grade.Wright noted, “Americans deserve better than this from theirpresidential candidates. We are talking about real people here, realwomen who are carrying real babies. Abortion is a horrific blot on ournational honor and we need some real men with a backbone to stand up forthem. John McCain and Barack Obama need to get serious about thisparamount issue. Don’t leave all the tough battles for us women tofight. Come on, guys, get serious. Join us in fighting for life.”Concerned Women for America is the nation’s largest public policywomen’s organization.
Amen Dewey! Thanks for your courage. May the Lord bring you wisdom in your dealings with political people! ~Shelly
AMEN Dewey. Protecting the weak ones from being murdered is at the top of God’s commands to His children…end of discussion. How can a Christian not vote for the best candidate on this issue in this Presidential race?!

Have a great day.

Ed

And serving Christ each day,
We need not fear what others think
Nor what the critics say.—D. De Haan

1Peter 2:12
“When they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God.”

I am sure that you are far ahead of me, but God just took me through breaking my worry of trying to please people….
What a freedom to just try to please God! I am just so thankful for God teaching me and loving me and I just wanted to take a moment to encourage you in the LORD!!!

Also, I am glad that you had time for a vacation! You sounded so refreshed!!! Love all that you are doing with the web sites! Keep up the good work…kkim is growing like wildfire isn’t it!!! Praise the LORD!!!
GOD IS GOOD!!!

The last writing from you about abortion and the election was powerful in the LORD. What a blessing that HE is watching over our country and HIS people. I received it well! The world needs to hear God’s heart…

Have a blessed day!
Love and Prayers
Karen

Amen, Amen, Amen…….. Keep spreading the truth Dewey.
Please pray for me. My wife is a Hopeline counselor on Dawson McAllisters show and I have been going through the training to start soon. The evil one keeps trying to put doubts about my inadequacy in my mind. Please pray for me. Thanks a million Dewey and God Bless!! Paul

Dewey,The website is great. You are so right….we must be unwavering in proclaiming the truth. It is time the adults were in charge.Blessings,Larry

Obama under fire over his votes against ‘born alive’ legislation in Illinois
By CHRISTOPHER WILLS , Associated Press
August 19, 2008
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Painted during the Democratic primary as weak on abortion rights, Barack Obama is now being portrayed by opponents of abortion as an extremist who literally supports killing babies.
Both portraits are based on his handling of a related issue in the Illinois Senate, and Obama insists they distort his position.
The Democratic presidential candidate says he firmly supports a woman’s right to choose but can accept some restrictions — including a requirement that medical care be provided for any fetus that survives an abortion.
“For people to suggest that I and the Illinois Medical Society, so Illinois’ doctors, were somehow in favor of withholding lifesaving support from an infant born alive is ridiculous,” he recently told the Christian Broadcasting Network. “It defies common sense and it defies imagination.”
But as a state senator, Obama repeatedly voted against that requirement and other restrictions on what opponents label “bor n alive” abortions. Obama says he opposed it because of technical language that might have interfered with a woman’s right to choose and because Illinois law already required medical care in such situations.
Hillary Rodham Clinton argued during the primary that Obama hadn’t been vocal enough in his opposition to this and other abortion legislation, and questioned his commitment to protecting women’s access to abortion.
Abortion opponents say Obama’s position amounts to an endorsement of killing babies, and that he has lied about it.
“Barack Obama is so radically pro-abortion he supports infanticide,” Jill Stanek, an Illinois nurse and anti-abortion activist, wrote on her Web site.
“Justifying the killing of newborn babies is deeply troubling,” former Sen. Rick Santorum wrote in a column early this year.
Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor called such statements “distortions and lies.”
“The suggestion that Obama — the proud father of two little girls — and others who opposed these bills supported infanticide is deeply offensive and insulting,” Vietor said in a statement Tuesday.
The dispute revolves around what happens in rare circumstances when a fetus survives an abortion.
Illinois abortion opponents repeatedly tried to pass laws defining any fetus that survives an abortion as a person with full rights, requiring a second doctor be present to provide medical care and creating=2 0a right to sue on behalf of the infant.
They argued the U.S. Senate had voted 98-0 for a federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act that defined such a fetus as a person, so Illinois lawmakers should have no trouble doing the same thing. President Bush signed the legislation in 2002.
Abortion rights supporters, led by Obama, opposed the Illinois legislation, arguing that it was designed to interfere with abortion. They said doctors were already required to care for any fetus that might survive an abortion; abortion opponents dispute that.
Over the years, Obama repeatedly has said the Illinois measure was different from the federal version in a key way — it lacked language spelling out that it would not interfere with abortion rights. If the Illinois legislation had that provision, he said, he would have backed it.
Now, however, abortion opponents have pointed out that Obama opposed a version of the bill that included a “neutrality clause.” The bill was killed in 2003 by a state Senate committee Obama chaired.
“He needs to explain misleading people. He needs to explain why he apparently covered that up,” Stanek said.
The Obama campaign’s explanation is that even if the federal and state versions had identical language, they would have very different consequences.
The federal government doesn’t have a law regulating abortion, so Congress could pass a “born alive” measure without actually affecting anything. But Illinois has an abortion law that would be muddled by changing the definition of a person with full rights, the campaign says.
Pam Sutherland, president of the Illinois Planned Parenthood Council, backs Obama’s position. The federal law essentially does nothing, she said, but the same language in Illinois would complicate state abortion laws.
Sutherland noted that Illinois eventually adopted a version of the “born alive” law but only after including a section that specifically states abortion rules would not be affected.
“They’re being very dishonest about their depiction of what happened with that bill — or just clueless,” she said of abortion opponents.
Sutherland also scoffed at the idea that opposing the legislation is the equivalent of supporting infanticide. “It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous,” she said.
Now focused on the general election, Obama wants to show that he may disagree with abortion opponents, but understands and respects their views.
The Democratic Party platform is being revised to bolster the section on reducing the need for abortion. The version awaiting approval at the Democratic convention in Denver says the party supports efforts to prevent unwanted pregnancies and understands the need to help women who choose to have children.
Democratic officials also gave a convention speaking slot to Sen. Bob Casey Jr., D-Pa., who opposes abortion rights.

Here is a note from Carrie…………
Hi Dewey,

This is a teaching we (my husband and I) came across as we are studying more of the old testament and teachings from a Noah-ide perspective.

Thought I’d share…..

THE COST OF URGENCYA Teaching from Gershon Salomon
The second-century Rabbi Tarfon was best known for his practical aphorisms, one of the most famous being: “The work is not upon you to finish; nor are you exempt from trying” (Mishnah, Avo’t 2:16). This lesson appears to discourage urgency, the desperation we often experience around completing something, fixing something, achieving, accomplishing. We would love to just make everything okay in this world, and we suffer severe disappointment in our failure to do so. No matter how many peace protests we attend, no matter how many petitions we sign, no matter how many rallies for this or that or the other…things just don’t seem to always change that much, or make a difference. After a while, it gets tiring and we start to wear down, even throw up our arms, stop trying altogether, and automatically delete those pesky emails that beckon us to forward it to others.And so, Rabbi Tarfon’s addage comes along and soothes our dampened spirits with reminding us to cool-out our urgency, our drive to complete, to accomplish — that the task is not upon us to finish, rather it is upon us to keep trying anyhow. This life is not so much about accomplishment as it is about effort. “In accordance with the degree of the effort,” taught Ben Hayhay, one of Tarfon’s contemporaries, “is the degree of the reward” (Mishnah, Avo’t 5:22).What puzzles me regarding Rabbi Tarfon’s teaching about stepping back from urgency is his teaching that appears immediately before it: “The day is short, the work is great, the laborers are lazy, the remuneration is magnanimous, and the master of the house is anxious” (Mishnah, Avo’t 2:15) — seemingly a completely opposite teaching from the more laid-back addage that follows it!Way back in my early days as a yeshiva boy in Jerusalem, I asked one of my teachers, the sagely Rav Efrayim Zeitchik about this. He gave me one of his warm grandfatherly smiles, stroked his long grey disheveled beard and said: “Timing and context. It’s all about timing and context. There is no contradiction. Life is short, there is a lot to do in our short lifetime, and to do this work is richly rewarding. But alas! we grow lazy, tired, worn down from trying and trying and trying and seeing little or no results. And God is urging us on, reminding us that — and this is Tarfon’s next sentence in the Mishnah — that the work is not upon us to necessarily complete, but neither are we exempt from the work itself, from the effort, from the endeavor.”Good. Fine. That explains the Context part of the equation. What of the Timing factor?”Timing?” he continued, “timing is everything. The Golden Calf, for instance. David and Bathsheba, for instance.”As was his way, he paused and waited, watching me ponder, waiting for me to remember by his clues the teachings of the ancient rabbis about how the Golden Calf was not such a horrible thing to create. What was wrong about it was the urgency with which we built it, not that we made it altogether. We strayed from the path hurriedly, with urgency (Exodus 32:8 and Deuteronomy 9:16). It was the urgency in building it that spun us into worshiping it (Exodus 32:8). Otherwise, it was a meaningful enough sculpture –meaningful enough that several of them adorned the sacred sites of the northern kingdom of Israel without incident and absent the wrath of God or anyone else (Second Kings 10:29). Had our ancestors built the Golden Calf like a week or two later, a couple months later, not out of their desperation for a Moses-substitute, it would have been inconsequential (Rabbi Zeitchik in “Toras Hanefesh,” (folio 656).As the third-century Rabbi Shimon bar Chalafta taught: “You set out on a journey, perhaps after the second or third mile you might err in your sense of direction; but certainly not in the first mile! Likewise, did the Holy Blessed One say to our ancestors after they hurriedly built the Golden Calf, ‘I would not have expected you to be on the right track in the second cycle of your wanderings, or the third — but on the first?! I am mystified” (Midrash Exodus Rabbah, Ch. 32).As for David and Bathsheba, they indeed belonged together, just not right then, not in the bubble of time that was born out of David’s urgency, out of his desperation to have her right then and there. Had he waited, she would have become his wife under more legitimate circumstances. After all, Solomon, who was destined to continue the dynasty and build the Holy Temple, and whose life mission was so divinely ordained that God called him “My son” (Second Samuel 7:14 and First Chronicles 17:13, 22:10, and 28:26) — was eventually born of the union of David and Bathsheba, but years later, after the tragic incident of their illicit union (Second Samuel 12:24). Had David waited, had he not acted out of urgency, circumstances would have shifted and Bathsheba would have been unmarried and it would have coincided with the actual time of Solomon’s time to arrive on earth. As the ancient rabbis put it: “David and Bathsheba were destined for one another from the time of Creation, but alas! David ate raw [Rashi: ‘meaning, he jumped ahead of the destined hour and joined with her illicitly]” (Talmud, Sanhedrin 107a).Context and Timing. What a concept.In the story of David’s later warfares, it seems he has indeed learned his lesson. God advises him not to respond to the charging Philistine army until he is given a sign: the branches of the nearby trees will start to shake. The Philistines charge at the Israelites in full force, yelling, screaming, their spears at the ready, aimed right at the hearts of David’s warriors who stand firm under his orders, puzzled as to why David was delaying the order to charge. They start complaining to David: “What are we waiting for? We can see the whites of their eyes!” And David says “I am instructed by Adonai not to make a move toward them until I see the branches of the trees begin to shake; and if we attack them before that time, we will surely die. Rather let us die asrighteous beings than we die in disobedience to God. So let you and I lift our eyes toward the Holy Blessed One.” In that moment, the branches of the trees began to shake, the Israelites attacked and the victory was theirs (Second Samuel 5:23-25; and Midrash Yalkot Shimo’nee on Second Samuel, No. 142).These ancient lessons clearly advise us to not jump the gun, to work at being patient with what comes at us, with what we study or experience and cannot in the moment understand — to wait, to let a little time pass before rendering judgment, before jumping to hurried conclusions, before worrying. In so doing, we may stand a far better chance at achieving that which seems to elude us the most: Clarity.

And here is our Karen Rowe……….
TRUST
Dear God, I thank you for today. In rain or shine, hot or cold, I thank you that my needs were met today.
Through tests and trials, you are above them all. I trust in your name to conquer them all.
I will not worry and do not doubt, because I trust that you know my heart. I know your love and know you say, ‘trust in me and just obey’.

And Now Nic……………..
We must stay in the race…and yes it’s been extremely difficult at times…yet we know the Lord will make a way some how!!!

Blessings,

“YES, YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS TRIAL”
“YES, YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS TRIAL”I saw in the Spirit that some are now in the midst of a circumstance so potentially devastating that fear is drawing near. Others worry that they are beyond the point of recovery. Be reminded that you have a Friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24) and His adhesiveness is stronger than super glue. Do not agree with the accusations of the devil (Revelation 12:10).
The enemy has whispered to some: “You are a loser, a failure; you’re washed up, never to recover, always to be known as one who didn’t measure up to the call.”
Some know what David meant when he said “no man careth for my soul” (Psalm 142:4) and Job when he wrote “My soul is weary of life” (Job 10:1).
This mess, this “no way out” dilemma can and will be turned around (Isaiah 65:24). God’s view of what is happening is much different than yours. He will restore your soul (Psalm 23:3), renew your mind (Romans 12:2) and enlighten your eyes (Isaiah 35:5). Yes, He will deliver you (2 Peter 2:9).
Have all deserted you? He will not. If you are in the place of despair and heartache; do not turn away from God, instead:KNOW THAT GOD HAS ALREADY CREATED A PLAN FOR YOUR RECOVERY
While you’re having those occasional thoughts of quitting, keep in mind that God is currently behind the scenes putting things back together better than they were before you entered this mess (Jeremiah 29:11).
Some have asked, “God, how long do I have to stay in this valley before You do something?” That’s the wrong question. The right question is, “God, how should I conduct myself while You are working on this thing?”
The timing is up to God (and the attitude is up to you), but I’ll tell you this: It will take no longer than it has to. Not one second longer. God takes no pleasure in you going through this and seeing you suffer. Yet, He will not waste one of your tears (Isaiah 25:8).
THE DEVIL HAS SAID, “YOU HAVE BLOWN IT BEYOND REPAIR”…THAT IS A LIE
No matter what the obstacles, no matter how many times you have failed, no matter how big the pit you have fallen into, His plan for your recovery is sure (Isaiah 65:24).
Feel like you’re being chased by giants? God doesn’t lie and He has promised to deliver you even if giants with twelve fingers and twelve toes are chasing you (2 Samuel 21:22).
“He shall deliver thee in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee” (Job 5:19). “Six troubles, yea even seven” is a Biblical idiom or phrase that means no matter how many troubles (i.e. ka-Zillions) He will deliver you. Get that in your head.
KNOW THAT GOD’S PLAN FOR YOUR RECOVERY IS FOOLPROOF
As soon as Peter denied Jesus (John 18:25), God had a plan for Peter’s restoration (John 21:17). This wasn’t the first time Peter blew it, and it wouldn’t be the last; so it is with each of us (Romans 7:19). God knew it was going to happen long ago and He made provision for it. You’re not going under, you’re going through.
Come high water, come fire or come all the demons of hell, the Lord will deliver you.
David wrote “Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through the fire and through the water: but Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place” (Psalm 66:12).
This word wealthy means “rich fulfillment.” Even though the enemy (and even your own mistakes) may have drained you of hope and strength, God will again bring the rich fullness of His presence into your life. There is no “ifs,” “ands,” or “buts” about it. He will do it. Why? He’s so madly in love with you it’s beyond your comprehension (Romans 8:35-39).
RECOGNIZE THAT HIS ANSWER IS ON THE WAY – EVEN AT THE DOOR
When we get discouraged and satan tells us the situation is hopeless, we need to resist (James 4:7) and take a stand (Ephesians 6:13). Remember though, no one overcomes by sitting down. Whatever you do, don’t start sulking all day and feeling sorry for yourself. Stop with the “shoulda, coulda, woulda” stuff, dust yourself off and get back to the business of the Kingdom.
Don’t try to figure out how He will help you. Don’t imagine that suddenly He will say, “Abra Kadabra,” like Houdini. Oh, yes, He could do an instant miracle and just might, but He wants you to trust Him to do it His way no matter what that may be.
Paul was stoned (and this was on a good day). His friends supposed he was dead (Acts 14:19-21), but the next day he was on the road to preach the Gospel. Some of you feel like you have been stoned, but you will get up like nothing happened.
The enemy likes to whisper to you that things will not change or turn around. Do not listen to him or anyone who speaks with unbelief. Like a bolt of lightning it will hit you that Jesus won the battle for you and you are called to be a conqueror with Him (Romans 8:37).
No, you may not feel like a conqueror right now, but Jesus has passed the baton to me and you (John 20:21) and He did not promise feelings would always accompany the call.
Rejoice, in all the pain, bewilderment and inner turmoil, God is working to reverse the circumstance and use it for your re-commissioning. You, who thought you were unfit, will re-emerge stronger than ever and the devil will see his work backfire.
Stand up…the horizon is before you. The dawn breaks. Victory is coming and you are one of His warriors!
Here is a note from Franchesca on Red Skelton……….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfz2XDXaeqc

Some of you will remember this man and some of you weren’t born then. He had his own tv show and of all the variety shows on ‘back then’ – I LOVED HIS THE BEST!! 39 Years ago. How did he know?? …..How right he was. (is) This is so unbelievable. In 1969, how did he know? He passed away many years ago. Red Skelton was a good & funny man. He ended every show by saying, ‘GOOD NIGHT AND MAY GOD BLESS.’
Listen to the end of this. It is something he said 39 years ago. Important you listen to the very end! Eerie! Take a moment and listen (from 1969). How would he have known this is what’s happening?

May God be with You and Yours, Dewey Sharon and family
