Billie, on September 19, I will celebrate my 8th Free Republic Anniversary and before that I ‘creeped’ around a year or so! I frequented mostly political stuff for a long time. Gosh, how time flies~~~~If it wasn’t posted on my home page, I would have forgotten exactly the date!

Thank you so much for hostessing today’s thread, Billie.

Been a busy day and I had PTA tonight.

I love your graphics and the Welcoming Graphic was wonderful.

Thank you again for all you do for Amy’s and for FR.

Goodnight, FRiends....!

Hope things slow down a little next week.

The surprise to me when I clicked to save it was it's file 'name' and that it actually posted. Right-click on it and see what I'm talking about. tinypic never has word file names, and it's most unusual it would post with ANYthing following the file extension (.jpg).

Just look - this is the url! At least it posted, and I looked in my folder and it's there, too - named "center". :)

Oh my, I didn’t realize you’d been here since 2000 either - ‘how come’ we didn’t know you when we first started The Finest, and Amy’s Place about a couple of years later? :)

Evening, Amy. I'm glad you got here before I left tonight - even though we just talked via FR mail, seems like I haven't seen you for a few days!

I appreciate your nice comments about the Welcoming Graphic as well as the V-J presentation. It's always nice to hear th' boss thinks I'm doing a good job. A pat on the head does the trick every time. LOL

Ohhhh, I like BOTH strawberry AND FResh Peach ice cream - or vanilla or banana. But homemade anykind will do nicely!

Dave said he should get Washington written up sometime soon. They just got back from there a couple of weeks ago, and he needs to get his thinking cap on how to 'write' his part.

I've got most of the intro written but I need to shorten it a bit. You know how long-winded that dd can be.

Well, I was hoping to rouse you. :) Do you still have what I sent you - with all the 'necessary' stuff that has to go into the state profiles? I'm counting on you to provide the rest of the text - and probably any other photos (unless you want me to find some more scenery or history-type pics)

And, yep, I know you can get carried away once you get started. Pare it down, dd! :)

I was "this" close to turning off this pc for real, and here you showed up. :)

Do need to go now. Nite!

Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways!” — Haggai 1:7

Hurricane Andrew struck the US mainland in August 1992. As residents tried to cope with the destruction, scientists turned Florida into a huge laboratory. Teams of researchers descended on the state to measure the storm’s impact on everything from building materials to tropical fish. Psychologists analyzed the hurricane’s influence on children. Geographers mapped sunken boats. Marine scientists cataloged the damage done to reefs, sea grass, and mangroves. Criminologists studied price-gouging and the breakdown of social order.

The prophets of the Bible did a similar evaluation after spiritual disasters. They documented the personal, social, and environmental effects of turning away from the one true God (Isa. 1:1-9; Hag. 1:2-7).

In behalf of a loving God, Haggai urged his neighbors to give careful attention to what had happened. He noted the priority they were giving to their own comforts and wanted them to observe how dissatisfied and empty they still were.

If God didn’t care, He wouldn’t ask us to consider the time and effort we are spending on diminishing returns. If He didn’t love us, He couldn’t remind us of all that He has given us. God sees what has happened to us and knows how much we need to focus on Him today.

I would live for Thee, Lord Jesus,
Keep my eyes so turned toward Thee
That the world and all its system
May attract no part of me. —Graves

When Christ is the center of your interests, life will be in focus.


Bible in One Year: Isaiah 13–15; Proverbs 22:17-29

Isn’t that strange? I think I told you I was all in election mode....I had been on quite a while before I joined up. Hubby was here then and he saw the joy I had talking politics, etc.
I would say “Honey, come here, I want you to see this.”

As I was ‘creeping’ around, I began to want to say something. So I joined up. It sure did take me a long time to find the Finest, didn’t it?

Then in 2004, when my husband passed away, I sent a note to Jim Robinson (sweetest thing) and told him I didn’t know how to post a ‘thread’ and God Bless Him, he did it for me!

I have a lot of love for Free Republic, ya’ll!!
