While we were gone, this email came to us and I have been asked what is the intent of your Ministry? What is your mission statement?
This letter from JR really says it all!
Brother Dewey;
On behalf of the Lighthouse of Chimayo, I would like to tell you just how much we appreciate your ministry. We were so blessed by your recent visit. In these times where everything has become acceptable and people seem to interpret the Bible for their own personal satisfaction, it is refreshing to hear a voice preaching the Truth. Your willingness to obey the Holy Spirit and your commitment to spread the Word of God are admirable and are always welcome! Your passion to be the salt and light of the earth as we are called to be, is very apparent. Your love for the lost and the hurting is inspirational and heartwarming. Our prayer is that God will continue to use you in this world that grows colder and colder. Let’s keep in touch for any upcoming events. We want to serve right alongside you.
In His strong love,
J.R. Abeyta, Deacon
The Lighthouse of Chimayo
I had been praying or someone to be a witness as to what this Ministry that God has given Sharon and I is all about! AMEN!

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord
Joshua 24:15I wish I could share more right now, but Lord Willing on Thursday!
The Empty Egg
Jeremy was born with a twisted body and a slow mind. At the age of 12 he was still in second grade, seemingly unable to learn. His teacher, Doris Miller, often became exasperated with him. He would squirm in his seat, drool, and make grunting noises. At other times, he spoke clearly and distinctly, as if a spot of light had penetrated the darkness of his brain. Most of the time, however, Jeremy just irritated his teacher.
One day she called his parents and asked them to come in for a consultation. As the Forresters entered the empty classroom, Doris said to them, “Jeremy really belongs in a special school. It isn’t fair to him to be with younger children who don’t have learning problems. Why, there is a five year gap between his age and that of the other students.”
Mrs. Forrester cried softly into a tissue, while her husband spoke. “Miss Miller,” he said, “there is no school of that kind nearby. It would be a terrible shock for Jeremy if we had to take him out of this school. We know he really likes it here.” Doris sat for a long time after they had left, staring at the snow outside the window. Its coldness seemed to seep into her soul. She wanted to sympathize with the Forresters. After all, their only child had a terminal illness. But it wasn’t fair to keep him in her class. She had 18 other youngsters to teach, and Jeremy was a distraction. Furthermore, he would never learn to read and write. Why waste any more time trying?
As she pondered the situation, guilt washed over her. Here I am complaining when my problems are nothing compared to that poor family, she thought. Lord, please help me to be more patient with Jeremy. From that day on, she tried hard to ignore Jeremy’s noises and his blank stares. Then one day, he limped to her desk, dragging his bad leg behind him.
“I love you, Miss Miller,” he exclaimed, loud enough for the whole class to hear. The other students snickered, and Doris’ face burned red. She stammered, “Wh-why that’s very nice, Jeremy. N-now please take your seat.”
Spring came, and the children talked excitedly about the coming of Easter. Doris told them the story of Jesus, and then to emphasize the idea of new life springing forth, she gave each of the children a large plastic egg. “Now,” she said to them, “I want you to take this home and bring it back tomorrow with something inside that shows new life. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Miss Miller,” the children responded enthusiastically-all except for Jeremy. He listened intently. His eyes never left her face. He did not even make his usual noises. Had he understood what she had said about Jesus’ death and resurrection? Did he understand the assignment? Perhaps she should call his parents and explain the project to them.
That evening, Doris’ kitchen sink stopped up. She called the landlord and waited an hour for him to come by and unclog it. After that, she still had to shop for groceries, iron a blouse, and prepare a vocabulary test for the next day. She completely forgot about phoning Jeremy’s parents.
The next morning, 19 children came to school, laughing and talking as they placed their eggs in the large wicker basket on Miss Miller’s desk. After they completed their math lesson, it was time to open the eggs. In the first egg, Doris found a flower. “Oh yes, a flower is certainly a sign of new life,” she said. “When plants peek through the ground, we know that spring is here.” A small girl in the first row waved her arm. “That’s my egg, Miss Miller,” she called out. The next egg contained a plastic butterfly, which looked very real. Doris held it up. “We all know that a caterpillar changes and grows into a beautiful butterfly. Yes, that’s new life, too.” Little Judy smiled proudly and said, “Miss Miller, that one is mine.” Next, Doris found a rock with moss on it. She explained that moss, too, showed life. Billy spoke up from the back of the classroom, “My daddy helped me,” he beamed.
Then Doris o pened the fourth egg. She gasped. The egg was empty. Surely it must be Jeremy’s she thought, and of course, he did not understand her instructions. If only she had not forgotten to phone his parents. Because she did not want to embarrass him, she quietly set the egg aside and reached for another. Suddenly, Jeremy spoke up. “Miss Miller, aren’t you going to talk about my egg?” Flustered, Doris replied, “But Jeremy, your egg is empty.” He looked into her eyes and said softly, “Yes, but Jesus’ tomb was empty, too.”
Time stopped. When she could speak again, Doris asked him, “Do you know why the tomb was empty?” “Oh, yes,” Jeremy said, “Jesus was killed and put in there. Then His Father raised Him up.”
The recess bell rang. While the children excitedly ran out to the schoolyard, Doris cried. The cold inside her melted completely away.
Three months later, Jeremy died. Those who paid their respects at the mortuary were surprised to see 19 eggs on top of his casket……. all of them empty.

Children come home for lunch but there is no food. There was nothing for breakfast either. With your help we are changing that. Thank you for your gifts to feed hungry children.
August 22, 2012. You are so amazing. You were created to be My treasure chest of My goodness and righteousness in the earth. This is the time to open My treasure chest and impart to those you and I love. It would be good to start with your immediate family members and increase the circle and circles of love. Look inside yourself and see the gleaming and sparkling treasures you are to give to others in My family. Did you know I depend on you for the blessings from My treasure chest to be given out? As you do, challenge each one to do as you have done with My treasure chest. Amaze Me with your own amazement for others to see and experience. Exodus 35:31 (NASB) “And He has filled him (Bezelel) with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge and in all craftsmanship.” Ras Robinson Subscribe to “What the Lord Is Saying Today” August 22, 2012. There are ideas circling your mind. Which one is the best? Which one is the right one? Which is the one that will portray what I want said? What I say will help people. What I say will change lives. I am teaching you now as you go. Don’t hesitate because you don’t know the end results. Just start and revelation will come as you go. You will see at the end the whole picture. Sometimes I show you the end before the beginning, but don’t let any way become a ritual. That will tend to keep the way you do things in a box. I don’t stay in a box. Deuteronomy 29:29 (NLT) “The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions.” Bev Robinson Scroll down to see “Photo of the Day” from our ministry to children in the Philippines. August 22, 2012. First and foremost, I have spoken to you very clearly about coming to Me with a pure heart. Having done so, I want you to seek Me first in everything you do. Offer to Me a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Offer up your first fruit which I have given to you freely. Humbly and boldly, seek me in the quiet place. Seek Me and My righteousness. Pursue Me on the mountain tops and in the valleys. Look for Me in whatever circumstance you’re encountering. Yield to Me and let Me guide you in every step you take. Search diligently for Me, and let Me shine My light on your ways. Jeremiah 29:12 (NIV) “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Matthew 6:33 (NIV) “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Kevin Robinson |
Here’s Dr. Joe and the Medical Bag……….
When it comes to breast health, your weight matters the most. But another important factor is hormone balance.
Let’s start with weight. I do not know your particular size or weight, so I will speak from a general standpoint. Those flabby abs and thighs can increase production of dangerous cancer-causing hormones, including estrogen. Clinical trials will often conclude that ‘estrogen promotes cell proliferation in breast tumors’ which could also be stated this way: Fat causes cancer.
Fat cells hold on to estrogen, and estrogen drives certain cancers. Losing weight helps because doing so, reduces estrogen load in the body, and this may slow growth of tumors (even before you find out they’re in you). Yes, even before diagnosed. Why wait for the cancer to be diagnosed. Remember, tumors don’t grow overnight; it has been growing for years, sometimes 10 to 20 years before it’s picked up by an imaging scan.
Losing weight also works because this lowers serum insulin, and high insulin is a risk factor in the development of cancer as well as other 30 other disabling medical conditions. You see, insulin increases an enzyme in your body called “aromatase enzyme. This is the same enzyme which converts testosterone and androstenedione to estrogen within the cells. Remember, I just told you excessive estrogen fuels cancer growth.
The point is losing weight is critical, and choosing good foods can help you regain your figure while slashing your risk of cancer. I think the best breast food you can eat is broccoli. This vegetable, as well as other crucifers (cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnips) have a positive impact on the way you break down your estrogen. They benefit breast health by reducing 4 and 16 estrogens (considered harmful) while increasing a protective, potent anti-cancer form of estrogen called 2-methoxyestradiol. Supplements which increase production of this 2 estrogen are sold nationwide at health foods stores as “I3C” for indole-3-carbonol, or a related type which is better for people with low stomach acid called “DIM.” Both I3C and DIM are proven to support breast and prostate health. Natural iodine supplements can help this pathway too.
On the no-no list are fried or fast foods, any boxed, processed or heavily refined dinners, anything artificial as well as a diet high in refined sugar. Coconut, olive, avocado and grape seed oil are all wonderful to include in your diet. Spices such as curcumin and saffron are powerful herbs you should eat frequently (or supplement with). And obviously, monitor your hormones with a urine analysis each year.
In the Love of Jesus Christ, Dewey Sharon and Family
