A Few of FR's Finest
....Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that didn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.

There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!

If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.

Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.

Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

How To Clean Anything

Read: 1 John 1:5-10

The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. —1 John 1:7

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 35-36; 2 Peter 1

---

Consumer Reports published a booklet with the intriguing title How To Clean Practically Anything. It offers advice on what solvent to use to remove a wide assortment of stains. Living as I do with drips and drops, that is my kind of book.

Did you know that glycerin will remove stains made by a ball-point pen? Boiling water can remove berry stains. Parents of small children should keep a gallon of vinegar handy to get rid of crayon marks. Bleach works well for mildew. Lemon juice performs minor miracles on rust stains.

I haven't tried them all, but I assume that scientists have put these common cleansing agents to the test.

What you will not find in this little book is how to deal with the most serious stain of all—the stain made on your life by sin. Deep, ugly stains made by hostile words and shame-filled actions. Tears won't touch them. Zeal can't erase them. At times we are convinced that we have gotten on with our lives and the sins are gone, but in an unguarded moment we notice the stain seeping through.

The Bible tells us just what we need: "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1:7). That's the only remedy that works. —Haddon Robinson

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain—
He washed it white as snow. —Hall

We may whitewash sin, but only Jesus' blood can truly wash it white.

Let me be one of the first to Congratulate and thank Free Republic and its wonderful staff for giving us the resources and substance to spread the truth to Americans and people everywhere.

I'm just a rookie, but I felt that this wonderful instrument, hopefully can convert California to a red state someday.I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[The Mayor]

Well thank you!
I'm not on the staff, I just volunteer to post coffee everyday
and post Military Monday every week..
I live in Buffalo and hope to turn this state red too..!

[Temple Owl]

Good Morning FReepers everywhere. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

[dansangel]

Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they
protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they
perform for us in our time of need.
We ask these favors in the Name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.

Good morning and ((((hugs))))) to all at the Finest.

Thank you, as always for bringing us Military Monday. I'm glad to see the full moon has not wreaked its havoc here at the Finest.

It's a cold, cruel world out on the rest of FR! LOL

[The Mayor]

I read a couple comments on the other thread..

Why ask a question and then shoot the messenger..
I almost jumped in but I gotta get ready to leave.

[dansangel]

Why ask a question and then shoot the messenger..

Exactly. Oh well (you should have seen the comment that was removed by the moderator - yeesh!)

Have a great day, be careful out there, and we'll catch you later!
