Dear KKIM Family,
May the Peace and Strength of our Lord be with you and yours!
It is such a blessing to be with you today!
I can hardly believe it that half of the year is gone! WOW! Where did it go? Where did that stimulus package go?
I still get excited for birthdays! I will turn 53 on July 4th…….I just love that I was born on our nations birthday! People tell me that is why I am so patriotic! I don’t know, I think I would be patriotic no matter what day I was born on! My Mom, Ruth, God bless her, was born on July 5th………so we had back to back birthday’s! My Mom lives in my heart to this day…….Her Bible was always marked up with notes and comments and she was always reading her Bible. Mom went to heaven in 1995 the year we moved to New Mexico.
When God speaks too us we must take action. I have talked to my Pastor friends…I am so blessed I have about a dozen Pastors that I seek advice and prayer from. That does not count Godly friends that I seek advice from. Where two or more gather, powerful things from God will happen! I am so thankful for the friends I have in God!!!! It is so AWESOME! They help me from doing something stupid everyday! If we are in tune to God we will hear His voice…….As you read today’s CUP please know that God has spoken to me about these issues. It is time for God’s people to take action on the topics we have posted here today. If we don’t do it, who will? The blessing is that so many KKIM friends are taking action……….YOU are making a difference!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!! The KKIM family has really responded for God and HIS people! I PRAISE GOD for all of you!!!! The other night on KOB-TV news a 16 year old boy who was friends with the four that were killed in the drunk driving wreck looked right into the camera and said these powerful words, “I am just 16…it is up to you adults to get things changed in this state so we don’t have a tragedy like this every other week.” Yes it is up to us! Please see below in this posting a call to action on this issue.
Remember this scripture that I just turned to today………..
The ones who win this battle against the world are the ones who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5:5
We claim victory over sin through Christ!
Let us fly the flag this July 4th weekend and pray for our Country!
I am going to try to take a few days off!
“The reflection upon my situation and that of this army produces many an uneasy hour when all around me are wrapped in sleep. Few people know the predicament we are in.” The Father of Our Country General George Washington Jan. 14, 1776.
How many American’s would be able to answer this question……. Who is the Father of Our Country?
General George Washington said much that still holds true today, like this……..
“The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army.”
General George Washington
July 2nd, 1776
That holds true today! Not only for our armed forces but for the Church!!!!
Here is Our July 4th gift to you our wonderful listeners!

You can hear this wonderful program Friday at 4:30pm Saturday, July 4th at 2pm and 7pm, Sunday, July 5th at 7pm. “Freedom Day” is our July 4th gift to you our wonderful listeners! It was our first President of the United States of America, Gen. George Washington who said, “Guard against the impostures of pretended Patriotism.”
Here is a special post from Joe a Veteran and KKIM Listener on the Pledge of Allegiance…….
The Pledge of Allegiance is an important American tradition that acknowledges the sacrifices of the men and women throughout our nation’s history,”
Secretary Garcia, it is not only a tradition, it is a remembrance, a tribute, and an honoring of those that have served, are serving and those that support the freedoms that it symbolizes, not only here in America, but also around the world.
Our flag, forever may it wave, and stands symbolic of those freedoms, and it is time for the Americans that love this land, to take a stand, to say “No, No more bending of our beliefs, No, No more hacking away at our countries standards, No, No more giving up of our traditions, and No, No more being run roughshod over, because of the minority that “dont feel like it”…
Enough is enough!
I am a patriot!
I love this land I was born into!
I am an Americ an!
I have served my country, in the military, and I have seen about half of this world during that service.
I have several questions for you;
Do you know why this country is the greatest?
Do you know why we have such a wonderful mixture of cultures here?
Do you know why each year thousands die trying to come into this country?
The main answers are simple.
The freedoms that we have, that were established by our fore fathers of this country.
The deep love of this country that they see in every true American ‘s face theyv’ e ever seen.
Secretary García said. “However, some students may choose not to recite the Pledge of Allegiance because of their religion or beliefs. These students must also be respected..”
Secretary García, I learned to respect the flag through reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, by asking why we recite it. And from that respect, I learned to respect many other things, Our politicians, Our Uniformed Service Members, our Police Officers and the other emergency services that serve the people of this country.
Don’t be one of those that whittle away at the basic foundations of this country, carelessly.
Respect America, Respect the sacrifices of men and women of our nation’s history, Respect Freedom, and Respect the flag.
Leave the Pledge of Allegiance in the schools, and let the students ask why do we say it.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Keep Our allegiance to America, and to our flag.
Joe, the American
God Bless you Joe and all those who have served our Country and are now serving.
Let Your Voice Be Heard!

As we get ready to celebrate the 4th……….let us remember what the 4th is all about!
Let us also make sure our fellow man is clothed………..This is from Angelo Winfield who serves on the Board of the Albuquerque Rescue Mission………
Albuquerque Rescue Mission Reports Need For Men’s Clothing
Albuquerque, New Mexico — June 25, 2009 — Empty shelves. That is the picture you will see in the men’s clothing room at the Albuquerque Rescue Mission. The amount of clothing donated to the Mission during the last twelve months is down by almost 13% from the prior year; now the shelves are bare.
“It is starting to cause some problems,” says Pastor John Hill, Executive Director at the Albuquerque Rescue Mission. “We receive donations of food, clothing, and finances throughout the year. To date, we have been able to adjust to the across the board reductions we have seen. But it’s very difficult to make adjustments in the provision of clothing; either we have clothes or we don’t, and right now we don’t. We need the public’s help right now more than ever before.”
Tim Masterson, who operates the Donation Processing Center at the Albuquerque Rescue Mission, says he’s never seen it like this before. “We have had down times before, but nothing like this. We will be out of men’s clothing by next week,” says Masterson. Donations of men’s pants, shirts, shoes, and caps are desperately needed. Hygiene products, such as razors, shaving cream, shampoo, and moisturizing lotion are also needed. The Albuquerque Rescue Mission provides emergency services to the poor and homeless of the community. The slumping economy, with the resultant increases in unemployment, is hitting the most vulnerable the hardest. The Mission has been filling in the gaps for years, and is making every effort to serve those who have been coming in for help.
“We are hearing from more people that need our help,” says Pastor Hill. “Folks who never thought they could be in this needy situation are looking for a little help.”
A decline in food donations is making it impossible to meet the need for food boxes that so many families are requesting. The Mission typically relies on food donations to provide food boxes for those in need.
Donations are impacted by an economic downturn. “Clearly, the rising unemployment is resulting in more requests for our services. We are hearing from people that have been able to stay in their homes, but have been unable to meet some of their other essential needs, like providing food and clothing for their families,” Pastor Hill commented. “We understand that the current economic situation is impacting everyone, but we ask those that are able to realize the desperate need that is out there. Even a small donation will help.”
The community can help meet this immediate need for clothing by making donations to the Albuquerque Rescue Mission at 525 Second Street SW. Financial donations can be made at the Mission’s website at www.abqrescue.org
“We can weather this storm if the community comes together to help out,” said Pastor Hill. “We have seen the compassionate people of Albuquerque meet these needs before, and we know it can happen now.”
The Mission is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the homeless of Albuquerque with emergency food, clothing and shelter. The Mission also provides long-term rehabilitation programs to help people get off the street permanently. For 55 years the Mission has been a vital part of the solution to homelessness.
Enough is Enough!!!! God has really spoken to me about this problem and we are to act on this now………..
That is our calling to you are faithful listeners of KKIM! You have swamped the State Dept. of Education with calls to get them to stop and think about the Pledge of Allegiance! You swamped the Roundhouse with calls protesting same sex marriage! You take action! PRAISE GOD!
Now is the time for us to swamp the Gov’s office with calls protesting the lack of action on the killing of our youth! Too many drunk driving deaths in this state. The most recent one killing four of our young people. You and I could be the next to die…our children our at risk driving in this state………We are asking you to call the Gov’s office at 505-476-2200 and tell him to get to work on tougher DWI laws. We are proposing this………..
Would you support a law in New Mexico that would send First time DWI offenders to jail for 1 year, plus forfeiture of car and driver’s license forever?
Yes
No
Unsure
100% of those who have voted at www.mykkim.com are in favor of this law. Let the Gov. know how you feel! Enough is Enough! The time for talking about this problem and how awful it is enough! Enough lip service! Time for action! In the meantime the Gov. skips town while these children and being laid to rest!
A member of his own security team was drunk and involved in a DWI accident that killed an man! But all we get from the Gov. is lip service! Our Legislature needs also to wake up on this issue!!!! We need strong law and order candidates for this Country! When is the last time you heard a Government official talk about law and order! I think most of them are afraid to speak the TRUTH! They don’t want to offend anyone!
Let us pray……………
Lord, Thank you for the United States of America, on this July 4th, the nation founded by YOU, our Father in Heaven, we pray that we will be bold enough to bring many to You, Father, that we will help bring back the United States of America to YOU!
Lord, I thank you for all my friends…Thank you for surrounding me with Your people. Lord, we also pray for Gov. Richardson that his relationship with You will grow. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
