Dear KKIM Family,
Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed. Prov. 16:3
We here at KKIM and the Cup are here to serve the Lord and His people. We are here for you 24/7.
Please pray for 13 year old Corbin Hayes
We broke this story last night on New Mexico News and Views……….
Teams from at least eight law enforcement agencies, who scoured a 15-mile stretch of the Rio Grande Thursday for a 13-year-old Rio Rancho boy who was swept away around 2:45 a.m. before it got too dark to continue, were resuming their search this morning.
Corbin Hayes was last seen by his brother when he was swept up by the current and pulled downstream near the River’s Edge III subdivision.
His friends tried to rescue him but were unsuccessful and last saw him go around a bend in the river before going back to the boy’s home to call 911.
There was about a 45-minute delay between the time the boy was last seen and the 911 call.
The search continued into the evening with teams from the Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and Corrales police departments, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office and fire departments from Bernalillo County, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and Corrales.
Two Hovercrafts, two helicopters, an airboat took part in the search, and divers, firefighters and deputies were stationed at every bridge south to Central Avenue as well as along the bosque. State Police took over the search last night.
Bernalillo County Fire Department officials say,today’s search is expected to be a “body recovery effort,”
Last night Albuquerque Police Spokesmen John Walsh was with us on New Mexico News and Views. John asked us all to pray for the men and women of the Police Dept. They have been under extreme stress with the death of Baby Boy Angel and the women buried in the West Mesa. We thank God for John, he is a man of faith and speaks right from the heart. I broke down in tears as John talked………I said, “John, If this doesn’t make us cry what will?” Have we forgotten how to shed tears?” John and I talked about some people blaming the Police for the death of Baby Boy Angel because an Officer did not detain the Mother when she was at a Police Sub-Station 7 hours before the death of Baby Boy Angel. The Officer could not find a warrant for her arrest and made suggestions as to where the Mom could get help and also saw that baby Boy Angel looked in good shape. We talked about people not assuming Self Responsibility, that seems to be dying off in our Country. Many want to blame others. The Albuquerque Police Chaplin’s have been very busy also, please keep them in your prayers.
Please tell your friends about New Mexico News and Views weekdays at 4:30 to 5:30. The ONLY full hour of news and information on the radio in New Mexico. We look at the news thru a Biblical Lens, PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD for this opportunity to represent HIM!
This report made my cry……….
With this following report……..we need to pray, we are losing our children and our adults to drugs.
We are living in a time when we have hero’s for our society like drug abusers, Baseball ‘s Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, Manny Ramirez, and many more pro sports players, so called modern day heroes. Let’s call it like it is folks! A wise man told me once that what is happening in baseball is a reflection as to what is taking place in society, WOW! How right he is! Baseball is a tarnished game…….just like our society is tarnished. We have handed over a huge portion of our society to drugs.
Please read this story that may shock you, like it shocked me, I had no idea that drug abuse was so rampant in our Country………Then read Radio Legend Paul Harvey’s “If I were the Devil”………………..
NEW YORK – The Mexican drug cartels battling viciously to expand and survive have a powerful financial incentive: Across the border to the north is a market for illegal drugs unsurpassed for its wealth, diversity and voraciousness.
Homeless heroin addicts in big cities, “meth heads’ in Midwest trailer parks, pop culture and sports stars, teens smoking marijuana with their Baby Boomer parents in Vermont — in all, 46 percent of Americans 12 and older have indulged in the often destructive national pastime of illicit drug use.
This array of consumers is providing a vast, recession-proof, apparently unending market for the Mexican gangs locked in a drug war that has killed more than 10,780 people since December 2006. No matter how much law enforcement or financial help the U.S. government provides Mexico, the basics of supply and demand prevent it from doing much good.
“The damage done by our insatiable demand for drugs is truly astounding,” said Lloyd Johnston, a University of Michigan researcher who oversees annual drug-use surveys.
The latest federal figures show that 114 million Americans have used illegal drugs at some point — and 20 million are current users.
Marijuana is by far the No. 1 drug, sampled by 100 million Americans, including nearly half of high school seniors. But more than 35 million Americans have used cocaine at some point and 34 million have taken LSD or other hallucinogens.
“It’s a drug dealer’s dream — sell it in a place where he can make the most money for the risk taken,” said Dr. H. Westley Clark, director of the federal Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.
“There’s a tremendous amount of denial until you’re face to face with it,” Clark added. “A substance abuser can be anybody. Everybody is at risk.”
The Mexican cartels are eager to feed this ravenous appetite. Once used mostly to transship drugs from South America, Mexico is now a major producer and distributor; its gangs control cocaine networks in many U.S. cities and covertly grow marijuana on U.S. public lands.
For now, the Mexican government is fighting the cartels and working with U.S. authorities who have promised to stop the southbound flow of weapons and cash — but all parties are aware of the role played by the U.S. market.
“When the U.S. government turns up the pressure a lot, then is when you see a return to the old formula of saying (to Americans), ‘You also have corruption, you consume the drugs, you’re the biggest drug consumer in the world,'” said Jose Luis Pineyro, a sociologist at Mexico’s Autonomous Metropolitan University.
Gil Kerlikowske, a former Seattle police chief recently appointed by President Barack Obama as the U.S. drug czar, said the Mexicans “make an excellent point.”
“Our drug abuse causes problems elsewhere — our per capita consumption is very high,” said Kerlikowske, who argues that reducing demand through education and treatment is as vital as border interdictions in quelling Mexico’s drug violence.

If I were the Devil………….
By Paul Harvey
I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world;
I would delude their minds into thinking that they had come from man’s effort, instead of God’s blessings;
I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of the other way around;
I would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for their state revenue;
I would convince people that character is not an issue when it comes to leadership;
I would make it legal to take the life of unborn babies;
I would make it socially acceptable to take one’s own life, and invent machines to make it convenient;
I would cheapen human life as much as possible so that the life of animals are valued more than human beings;
I would take God out of the schools, where even the mention of His name was grounds for a lawsuit;
I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and target the young, and I would get sports heroes to advertise them;
I would get control of the media, so that every night I could pollute the mind of every family member for my agenda;
I would attack the family, the backbone of any nation.
I would make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable. If the family crumbles, so does the nation;
I would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas and movie screens, and I would call it art;
I would convince the world that people are born homosexuals, and that their lifestyles should be accepted and marveled;
I would convince the people that right and wrong are determined by a few who call themselves authorities and refer to their agenda as politically correct;
I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, and the Bible is for the naive;
I would dull the minds of Christians, and make them believe that prayer is not important, and that faithfulness and obedience are optional;
I guess I would leave things pretty much the way they are.
Quite a statement by Paul Harvey!!
Let us weep for our nation……….Let us pray that we will be bold enough to continue to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. I was asked by a KKIM listener, “Dewey should we just give up?” No we should not, we are to be the salt and light of the world and to occupy the land until the Lord comes. We are to spread the word Of Jesus Christ and help bring others to HIM. This friend is a wonderful Christian, but like many is getting wore down from what is going on in our country. Let us keep strong in our Lord together.
Let us check the mailbag………..

Subject: What a Duck Story from Shona Neff heard Saturdays on KKIM at 7:30am!
A True Duck Story from San Antonio , Texas
Something really cute happened in downtown San Antonio this week. Michael R. is an accounting clerk at Frost Bank and works there in a second story office. Several weeks ago, he watched a mother duck choose the concrete awning outside his window as the unlikely place to build a nest above the sidewalk. The mallard laid ten eggs in a nest in the corner of the planter that is perched over 10 feet in the air. She dutifully kept the eggs warm for weeks, and Monday afternoon all of her ten ducklings hatched.
Michael worried all night how the momma duck was going to get those babies safely off their perch in a busy, downtown, urban environment to take to water, which typically happens in the first 48 hours of a duck hatching. Tuesday morning, Michael watched the mother duck encourage her babies to the edge of the perch with the intent to show them how to jump off. Office work came to a standstill as everyone gathered to watch.
The mother flew down below and started quacking to her babies above. In disbelief Michael watched as the first fuzzy newborn trustingly toddled to the edge and astonishingly leapt into thin air, crashing onto the cement below. Michael couldn’t stand to watch this risky effort nine more times! He dashed out of his office and ran down the stairs to the sidewalk where the first obedient duckling, near its mother, was resting in a stupor after the near-fatal fall. Michael stood out of sight under the awning-planter, ready to help.
As the second one took the plunge, Michael jumped forward and caught it with his bare hands before it hit the concrete. Safe and sound, he set it down it by its momma and the other stunned sibling, still recovering from that painful leap. (The momma must have sensed that Michael was trying to help her babies.)
One by one the babies continued to jump. Each time Michael hid under the awning just to reach out in the nick of time as the duckling made its free fall. At the scene the busy downtown sidewalk traffic came to a standstill. Time after time, Michael was able to catch the remaining eight and set them by their approving mother.
At this point Michael realized the duck family had only made part of its dangerous journey. They had two full blocks to walk across traffic, crosswalks, curbs and past pedestrians to get to the closest open water, the San Antonio River , site of the famed “River Walk.” The on looking office secretaries and several San Antonio police officers joined in. An empty copy-paper box was brought to collect the babies. They carefully corralled them, with the mother’s approval, and loaded them in the container. Michael held the box low enough for the mom to see her brood. He then slowly navigated through the downtown streets toward the San Antonio River . The mother waddled behind and kept her babies in sight, all the way.
As they reached the river, the mother took over and passed him, jumping in the river and quacking loudly. At the water’s edge, Michael tipped the box and helped shepherd the babies toward the water and to the waiting mother after their adventurous ride.
All ten darling ducklings safely made it into the water and paddled up snugly to momma. Michael said the mom swam in circles, looking back toward the beaming bank bookkeeper, and proudly quacking.
At last, all present and accounted for: “We’re all together again. We’re here! We’re here!”
And here’s a family portrait before they head outward to further adventures…
Like all of us in the big times of our life, they never could have made it alone without lots of helping hands. I think it gives the name of San Antonio ‘s famous “River Walk” a whole new meaning! Maybe you will want to share this story with others. Doctor York told me she had forwarded it to 20 people. It’s too good to lose!
AWESOME! Thanks to Shona Neff! Listen for Shona every Saturday at 7:30am on KKIM!
Scripture to meditate on…read it again and again…
Jesus is greater than Moses
Hebrews 3
“…fix your thoughts on Jesus…
For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be said in the future.
But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.”
“A man’s mind plan’s his way, but the LORD directs his steps and makes them sure”…Proverbs 16:9
Love in Christ,

We are getting such good feed back on Dr. deb and what she is doing for God’s people………..
Dear Listeners,
As Christian parents of teens and young adults, we often wonder how we can s impact their lives in such a way as to ensure that they stay focused on a life with Christ. Mark Scales, pastor of Family Ministry, Missions, and Outreach at Heights Christian Church will join me today to talk about the power of missions work for teens. Pastor Mark worked at Hope Christian School teaching and mentoring young people every day. In his work now, he takes young people on mission trips to Central and South America where they develop on-going relationships with communities in that part of the world. Pastor Mark will talk about the impact of these trips on the faith life of young people and will talk in general about how parents can help their children stay focused on their faith as they are challenged by the world culture.
The show airs from 8:05 to 9:00 AM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) this Saturday May 30 on KKIM-AM1000 or FM94.7 in the Santa Fe /northern NM area. The show is also audio streamed live on http://www.mykkim.com/. If you have a question or comment, please give us a call. In the Albuquerque area the phone number is 998-0021. You can also call toll-free at 1-866-523-5008. I am looking forward to being with you this Saturday morning.
May God bless you today and always,
