1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.Philippians 4:5-7 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.I would appreciate your continued prayers for complete healing from my food...

Good morning all. I got a FReepmail from Metmom this morning asking that a prayer thread be started for her and her family due to a death in the family. As per her message: I got word this morning from my sister that my brother died last night. He called 911 in medical distress and when the paramedics got there they could not resuscitate him. We’ll be heading in to be with my sister in a day or so. My other brother will be with her and she has a great support network of friends. My sister is saved. The...

Hello, everyone. This post is for Metmom who cannot post at this time due to the snow and winds having toppled a pole with power transformer near her driveway. She and husband cannot get off their property due to the lines being across their driveway. Her internet is down, to boot, of course. There is a widespread power outage in her area, and there's no idea how long it's going to take to get things going. Metmom is asking for a quick fix to this problem, as we can all understand. It's ok for a while, then it gets to...

Los Angeles County announced Friday a temporary stay at home order effective Monday that urges residents to avoid being with people not in their household. “The temporary order will be in place for three weeks through Dec. 20 and will allow essential and emergency workers, and those securing or providing essential and permitted services, to leave their homes,” KTLA reported.

Urgent prayer request for FReeper METMOM. Metmom was admitted to the hospital this past Tuesday with serious complications from what started out as a minor, out-patient procedure. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors treating her to find the root cause of the problem, a good response to the medications and a full recovery. Pray for her family, as well, for their peace and strength as they trust in the Lord to heal their beloved wife and mother.

RUSH: Oh, come on. It was everything we knew it would be. It became everything we knew it would be, and that is attacking talk radio, attacking Sarah Palin. We knew. It was utterly predictable. I tell you, the reason why they waited as long to do this was they were waiting for polling data. The polling data shows the American people do not associate political rhetoric with anything that happened in this incident. That's what they were waiting on. If the polling data had been different the speech would have been different, but because the polling data says the...

Levin says he will sue if anyone makes any libelous accusation against him for being complicit in the murder of anyone. "I'm going to drag your ass into court," Levin said.

To anyone hoping that New York Times columnist Paul Krugman would apologize for his unfounded, untrue and inflammatory declarations in a Saturday blog post and Monday column that right-wing rhetoric drove Jared Loughner to shoot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and murder six others in Tucson Saturday — don’t hold your breath.

FYI - Here are statements from Jim about the future of FreeRepublic.com for those who missed them. They are quite serious. === "Well, I can say that there are definitely two things that will never happen. 1) Banner ads. 2) Oracle [a completely new database system.] And a third is a total replacement [of the current damaged system.] Don’t have the financial wherewithal." "To those who wish to leave because of it, see ya." "If FR dies, that’s that."=== [To: paulycy] Hey, you want us to get an all new system with all new software and add a few more...

Metmom has had allergies and food allergies her entire life. In the last few years they have gotten steadily and progressively worse. Foods have been dropping out of her diet until she reached the point she is at now and can only eat rice, chicken, lamb, and venison. Anything else causes her to react rather destructively, debilitatingly. The problem is that the repeated continual exposure to the few remaining foods, could lead to a sensitivity to those as well, which has just happened to two foods she had been safely eating since October. There are options for nutrition should...
