Dear KKIM Family,
“True indication of a person’s character: what makes them laugh and what makes them weep” – Warren Wiersbe
That is so true……….and today we weep for Corbin………..
We are mourning here at the CUP for 13 year old Corbin Hayes. His body was found by searchers yesterday at about 3pm, 8 miles down the river from where he fell in. LTC Norbert Archibeque of the New Mexico National Guard who also is a Deacon in the Catholic Church spoke at a Candlelight Vigil last night in Rio Rancho saying, “We are reminded how alarmingly short life is.” AMEN.
LTC Archibeque is a man of God and Country. I have interviewed him a couple of times on New Mexico News and Views. He has fought for our Country in Afghanistan and is a tremendous leader in the New Mexico National Guard.
Corbin was remembered last night as one who would not let anyone down.
The message I take from Corbin’s passing is that I will do my best to bring the message of Jesus Christ to one and all because time is short.
As it says in James 4: 13-15
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”
whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”
In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
Please keep the Hayes family in your prayers.
Now here is a Praise note from Cindy on her hubby, Tony! By the way thanks to you all who sent emails of prayer for Tony!!!
Thank you so much for all your prayers!!!
Praise YHVH!
The cardiac tests and procedures on Tony showed that he did not have a heart attack or stroke. His arteries,and vessels are clear of any obstructions! Thank the Lord no heart problems! The cardiologists were amazed that they didn’t have to place any stints in his arteries!
He does however have some thickening of the aorta and heart muscle, which indicates that he has high blood pressure due to high stress and genetics, and will be on meds until we can wean him off.
We’re home now and he’s groggy from his heart cath. He won’t be able to drive or lift anything over 10 pounds for the next week.
It’ll be allot of rest for Tony for a while, which is so needed. And, nurse Cindy will be happily taking care of him and keeping him relaxed!
The next step will be to a neurologist and a gastro doctor later this week and next.
As far as FEMA goes, they are standing behind him and giving him all the time needed to get well.
Tony and I are standing in agreement for full healing!
Thank you again for all your continued prayers!
Love,
Cindy
Well, I got an email from Karen Rowe this morning that got to me! After she drank yesterday’s cup, she sent me this email……..She is right……..One of the reasons I love to play the game of softball, is that my Parents and I were told when I was 5 years old that “I may never walk or run like the other kids”
Dewey, I forwarded this beautiful prayer. I included this message too, because I know that running for you now, still replays a miracle to you…not just because of your age, but because of your leg that hindered you as a child…if I remember correct??? I can hear the utter peace in your spirit when you say, “How beautiful is this undisturbed morning hour with God!” Thank you for reminding us all to stay focused on God in this busy world! Thank you for sharing your lifted spirit “in this undisturbed morning hour with God!” Love and prayers, Karen
That is a HUGE reason I am so thankful to play on God’s green grass and softball with my Brothers! That whole ordeal with my leg………I wore a brace on my left leg for 1 1/2 years, I remember the kids pushing me around in a chair with gliders because we could not get a wheelchair……..It was because of a caring Father and Mother and concerned small town Doctor that I got the help I needed at that time as God watched over me. My folks, My Doctor and never gave up on me. I will be 53 on July 4th and my hip that was diseased and my leg that was shorter than the other are all healed years ago. But I will never forget the Big City Doctor looking into my eyes and saying, “You may never run and play like other Children.”
I guess those words burn inside me today and drive me to play and help others who have been told the same.
Thank you Karen for brining this to the front for my understanding!
Let me just stop here and say, I am so thankful for all of you who meet here at the CUP everyday! I feel I have such wonderful Brothers and Sisters in the Lord. Thank you for stopping by for a CUP!
Hi Dewey,
You didn’t tell us what happened after the “Hot Box Rundown.” Did they cart you off the field? Way to go HCC and another win. How many hits, “O thou slugger” (not sluggard). Keep showing those young guys how to play the game, Dewey, so I don’t have to come out of retirement and show you how we did it in the really old days.
I thought you would be interested in these devotional thoughts today from A.W. Tozer:
Christians have decided where to put the cross. They have made the cross objective instead of subjective. They have made the cross external instead of internal. They have made it institutional instead of experiential. Now, the terrible thing is that they are so wrong because they are half right. They are right in making the cross objective. It was something that once stood on a hill with a many dying on it, the just for the unjust. They are right that it was an external cross—for on that cross God performed a judicial act that will last while the ages burn themselves out . . .
But here is where they are wrong. They fail to see that there is a very real cross for you and me. There is a cross for every one of us—a cross that is subjective, internal, experiential. Our cross is an experience within . . . When that cross on the hill has been transformed by the miraculous grace of the Holy Spirit into the cross in the heart, then we begin to know something of its true meaning and it will become to us the c ross of power.
Our spiritual life is perfected by the constant recognition of the cross and by our unceasing application of it to all our life and being.

By the way One Nation Under God Prayer meeting this Friday night at Heights Christian Church at 7pm. For more info just email me. Pastor Don and many of you keep me HUMBLE! Love Pastor Don’s humor!!!!!! It proves once again that Christians can have good clean fun!!!!
Dewey,
Glad you did you well running your opponent down in what we call “a pickle”…makes for fun and a little attaboy. My youngest son plays high-school baseball and will be attending a Lobo baseball camp next week when I’m at the CLASSeminar. Although he isn’t a “superstar” he enjoyes the game and has squeak through at the HS level so far 🙂
Have a great day!

Here is a note from Pastor Leonard Navarre……….
Just reading along today and ran across these verses that undergird the ministry of KKIM and validates what you guys are doing for the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them.” Ephesians 5:10-11
and then in verse 13, “but all things become visible when they are exposed to the light…”
So Brother Dewey and Brother Mark…SHINE ON!
God bless, I am praying for you and your families,
Leonard

This is from Oswald Chambers book, “Christian Disciplines” Building strong Christian Character………
Our Manner
In this manner, therefore, pray. (Matthew 6:9)
(At this particular point we are not dealing with what is known as the “Lord’s Prayer”; that is dealt with subsequently.)
Our Lord wishes us to understand that all morbid excesses must be cut off, and the simple personal relationship allowed to react. When we pray, remember we pray to a person, “Our Father,” not to a tendency, or for the resulting reflex action, and we pray for particular personal needs which are universal: “daily bread,” “debts,” “debtors,” “deliverances,” (verses 11-13), and we pray as citizens of a universal spiritual kingdom–“Yours is the kingdom” (verse 13), and the manner is bold, simple, but absolutely spiritual.
All through our Lord implies discipleship, or what we understand by an experience of regeneration. In other words, His death is the gateway for us into the life He lives and to which His teaching applies. Therefore to take our Lord’s teaching and deny the need to be born from above is to produce a mockery, born of the very desire to do the opposite.
This section is presented as a stirring up and away from sentimental religiosity which is injurious to a degree that it becomes immoral, because it unfits for the life instead of equipping for life, the life that is ever the result of our Lord’s life in us.
The Pattern Prayer
Let this be how you pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, Your name be revered, Your Reign begin, Your will be done on earth as in heaven! give us to-day our bread for the morrow, and forgive us our debts as we ourselves have forgiven our debtors, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.’
(Matthew 6a;9-13, MOFFAT)
(This translation may serve to rouse complacent attention to reexamine the very familiar form of words.)
This pattern prayer is our Lord’s lesson on prayer in answer to a prayer: “One of His disciples to Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’ ” (Luke 11.1). It is well to remember that our Lord’s disciples were used to prayer and religious exercises from their earliest childhood, but contact with Jesus produced in them the realization of the reality of free prayer over and beyond the liturgical form. How similar is our condition: after we have received spiritual quickening and illumination from our Lord, our eloquence falters, our coherent praying falters into an unsyllabled lack of utterance, and in utter confusion of mind and chaos of spirit we come as helpless babes to our Father with the first prayer, “Lord, teach us to pray,” and He teaches us the alphabet of all possible prayer. This sense of utter impoverishment spiritually is a blessed pain because it is pain that takes us to God and His gracious rule and kingdom.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3).
Let us pray………….
Oh Lord, I am so thankful for my family here at the CUP………Thank you Lord for the means to stay in touch through You. We know you are wrapping Your arms around Corbin and Lynne now. May we all prepare to meet You. This week we have seen Lynne and Corbin join You. Let Your will be done, not ours. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
Let me close with this letter from Sam……….
Dear Dewey, what a terrific ‘Cup this morning. In Memory of Lynne. She has gone on to the glories we will know one day, but now only get glimpses of.
Gods power is perfected in weakness. what comforting words to one that has fought the fight of ‘pain. Thank you for reminding me of that.
I know there are so many different types of weaknesses, we all suffer from time to time. Just the weakness of ‘Pride of Life’, is an example of what His power could be made perfect in. The three things of this world, the ‘Lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life’. His power is perfected in our weakness. What a comfort that is!
I have written you in times of extreme pain. And I want to ask forgiveness for that. I shouldn’t write you in those times, but in the times of peace and comfort. I want to be an example not a pebble in the shoe.
My pain comes and goes, but lately it has come more than gone, but that is my walk.
Please forgive for my shortcomings. I know you are always there for me as for so many others. But the words of today have shown me to be patient and wait for Him to speak, and comfort. Which He always does. Through you so often Dewey. But He whispers to me also. He knows without the blessings of all His children and His whisperings, I couldn’t make it. I am filled with thanksgiving this day. sam
We are family and we are to help each other………..through the trials of life…………we are here for Corbin, Lynne, Sam, Cowboy Clarence, Skip,and all……..We are to be the Church of God.
Listen for the Whisper’s of God today………….just like Sam
See ya on the radio at 3:30 today, Lord Willing!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
