        The FReeper Canteen Presents... Happy Labor Day! September 5, 2016        HISTORY Labor Day is a national legal holiday that is over 100 years old. Over the years, it has evolved from a purely labor union celebration into a general "last fling of summer" festival.

            CATCHING A SECOND WIND Cross country runners and other long distance runners have all relied on a "second wind" to finish their race; the longer the race the more "second winds" will be required. This physiological wind source is a timely aid in propelling an exhausted runner onward to the finish. The phenomenon of the "second wind" has a spiritual principle, too. When the purposes of God seem too distant to continue, God provides a "second wind" to propel his people onward to finish the cause in which they are engaged. Indeed: "They that wait...

    FReepers are a special kind of people. The first FReeper, was a man named Jim Robinson.  Seeing things take place in our nation that he knew were wrong, he decided to develop an internet site where patriots could gather and network to effect change.  In a short period of time there were literally thousands of people who had joined him.  Many were joining him in Washington, D. C. to let our leaders know, we weren't happy.  Today those people are known as FReepers and they do something no other site requests of it's members.  They voluntarily pay to support the...

            FAITH OR FEAR?

Of course not! We know this type of behavior is rooted in fear, not faith. Faith obeys God, but fear is easily intimidated and finds many excuses for disobedience. A person who is a perfectionist, a workaholic, or involved in sexual perversion is just as dependent...
