Dear KKIM/KARS Family,
May God be with you today and all days………
May you seek the Lord’s Will today……..
But You, Lord, are a shield
around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts up
my head.
I cry aloud to the Lord,
and He answers me
from His holy mountain.
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again because the Lord
sustains me.
I am not afraid of the thousands
of people
who have taken their stand against me
on every side.
Psalm 3: 3-6
AMEN!
Frank Haley has this news this morning………….
(ROME) . An Italian port official says the remains of two American balloonists missing over the Adriatic since Sept. 29 have been found by a fishing boat.
Italian officials say the fishing boat hauled in the balloon cabin with the bodies of the Americans still on board early today. .
Documents found in the cabin confirmed the identities of Richard Abruzzo of Albuquerque, , and Carol Rymer Davis of Denver, Colorado.
The two were participating in the 54th Gordon Bennett Gas Balloon Race when contact was lost Sept. 29 as they flew over the Adriatic. Search crews looked for the veteran balloonists in vain for nearly a week before determining their balloon had plunged toward the water at 50 mph
Let us keep the families in our prayers………….
We have this encouraging update from Pastor Don………
Hello dear friends,
Our grandson John, though not out of the woods, is making progress in the battle for his life. Given only a 20% chance for recovery in the beginning, doctors now estimate that has risen to 50%. I cannot go into all of the details of his challenge but suffice it to say that by your prayers and with the help of a great medical team at Lovelace ICU, we believe John is going to make it—and what a testimony to the grace of God he will have when all this is over. Thank you all so much for your concern and taking those precious moments to pray for the boy. God bless.
Pastor Don

Here is a note from Sam………
Thank you Dewey for this Blessed ‘Cup’ this morning. Its always a Great thing to wake up to the Word of God.
If I could give just One gift this Christmas, it would be a gift that God has already given, but some have thrown out. The gift of Consideration. So many people do not give ‘Consideration to others. I see people in a conversation, and everyone trying to speak at the same time. How can we learn if do not remain silent? How can we get to know people around us if we do not listen? Just to give people Consideration and Hear them, Not speak Louder so ‘We can be heard. What a great gift that would be. To be Considerate of others. In every aspect. Not just by listening, or remembering a name, or calling to see how people are doing. In Everything, Everyday. Giving them Consideration would be my gift to my family this year. Maybe they just need me to Remind them of it.
Have a Very Merry Christmas Dewey, Sharon and Family sam
Thanks for the wonderful words Sam……Just this weekend Reno found a bunny rabbit in distress, the rabbit was inside a locked batting cage at our local park and had wrapped himself in the netting of the cage. I could not get to him, the netting was to far inside the cage. I walked over to two ladies and asked them to help and they would not, saying they were to busy! Okay then….We are living in a world where people do not help like they used to, they are scared and maybe the world has given them a reason to be. But they would not budge. A Policeman was driving by and he said he would call animal control. I then left and went to see Sharon at the Arts and Craft show and then left again with Sharon telling me to check on the rabbit and if he still is in there use a pole or something to grab onto the net and pull it toward the fence. I got there and the bunny was calmly resting tied up in that netting yet, no animal control, I guess they were to busy also. A man and his three nephews were playing in the park and had two baseball bats and we used them to pull the bunny closer to us and a Comcast cable repair man was in the park and we used his scissors to cut the netting and let the bunny free! The little guy was very traumatized but lived! When sam used the word considerate, It brought to me the help I got from the two men at the park they were considerate of God’s creation. Some will read this and probably say, all that over a bunny!!! It’s not about me, it’s about what the Lord would have us do in all what takes place in our day………not just parts of it. One of the men kept on saying be careful that he doesn’t bite you…but you know that bunny was still for me as I had to put that scissors right against his neck…..against his entire body to cut him loose but he let me. I have just fallen in love with Psalm 1: 1-3 and that is the direction I am taking with my life. I had that verse opened in my Bible all weekend on the kitchen counter. The Church, the Body of Christ needs to do less yelling, and more Godly action in our day to day living, we need to walk the walk, just not talk about it. To much of the Church has become a business.
The Lord is using me in the Park, yesterday I was able to take Buffy and Reno for a second walk and a young father and his two little boys were playing on the ball field, WOW! What a lovely scene! Anyhow the young father just struck up a conversation with me as I was walking by saying that he just had to talk to a young man who was using foul language in the Park and his young boys were disturbed by the yelling and cussing, The father talked to the young man and got him to calm down. The father said that it is amazing what someone with a bad mouth and anger can do to a peaceful situation, like a father and his two boys playing ball at the park. I told him it is like a DARKNESS that comes in like a storm cloud…..the father shared that he got the young fellow calmed down. When you walk so close to the LORD HE will show you the lightness and darkness, and HE will give you the BOLDNESS the kind HE can only give to deal with it, just like that young father did.
Look around you today, if you are so close to the LORD, HE will show you the Lightness in your life and the darkness in your life, if you have any.
Anger destroys.
Nothing good comes from Anger.
I only write and say the words the LORD directs me to.
Janice says my messages are simple, easy to understand…….I give Glory to God……..it is what the LORD gives me to say…..I am not a fancy, dancy Preacher, I am just trying to do what the Holy Spirit moves me to do.
Today, Sharon and I pray that you become so close to the LORD that if HE chewed gum you could tell us what flavor HE chews!! In the name of JESUS, AMEN and AMEN!
You cannot continue to pick and chose of how much you believe!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and Family
