A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....03-13-06....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 03/12/2006 7:21:05 PM PST by The Mayor




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

To: The Mayor; All
Consider these verses of our Star Spangled Banner,
penned nearly two hundred years ago - -

Oh thus be it ever
when free men shall stand
Between their 'loved homes
and the War's desolation
Blessed with Victory and Peace
May the Heaven's rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made
and preserved us a nation.

Then conquor we must
When our cause it is just
And this be our motto: In God we trust
And the Star Spangled Banner
In triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave.

~ Francis Scott Key

What are some ways Jesus showed love? (Mt. 8:14-17; 15:32-39; 19:13-15; 27:33-35)

Thank you for the Bible Study!

Matthew 8:14When Jesus came into Peter's home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever.

15He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him.

16When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill.

17This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: "HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES."

Matthew 15: 32And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way."

33The disciples said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?"

34And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

35And He directed the people to sit down on the ground;

36and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

37And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full.

38And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.

Matthew 19:13Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

14But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

15After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.

Matthew 27: 33And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34they gave Him wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.

35And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.

And thank you God, for the FRiends and Angels who, like the little girl in the tenement, help get us into the Light and give opportunities to grow and bloom.

Interesting! I had the privilege of hearing stories from a Navy man who spent time chasing UBoats off the US coast. I was stunned, when visiting Topsail Island, NC as a young bride to find watchtowers for UBoat sightings. I'd never learned anything about this in school!

Great post! You may find some blanks in the TGIF thread..and early Sunday thread. My tiny pics disappeared last night and so did some others when I checked the TGIF thread. It may have to do with the weather..I had to reload the ship picture into photobucket..I was lucky I had saved it ..I delete a lot of my pictures out of my picture file..but that flag is a keeper.
