I'll say a prayer... b/c I just had a chance to check in here, and noticed that Freepers were (again) fighting against each other.
And now I see that Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe)is going nude.
Okay, I'm officially depressed. :)
But I have faith in the Freeper community, It may take time. but I have faith.
So much hope heaped on his shoulders,
this one lone carpenter turned rabbi from the north --
look at those who followed him, coming forth
out of a night of terror and day of grief.
Political assassination in the courts
scattered most who ran away.
A few stood solid that hard day,
Mother, aunt, a single thief,
one young friend beneath his bloody cross,
women who cared wailing their loss
Two politicians who chose to believe.
How white the shroud they provided, how dark the tomb.
And then they went with heavy hearts back to that upper room
Nowhere else to go when Sabbath evening fell,
Nowhere else to grieve.
Look at those who followed him coming forth
with whispered words of hope after the dark of Sabbath night
Whispered words of hope about an angel standing very white,
a cast off shroud upon the ground, an empty tomb.
"Did you talk to her?" they asked. "Did you see Peter's face?"
Another described how John and Peter ran into that place,
Hope breathed in the midst of them to breathe out across the world
As He stood there in the room.
So many years later, hope is heaped across His shoulders still --
Lord Jesus, if you will,
Fill me with your light
Against the hopelessness of endless night.
Psa 42:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in GOD; for I shall again praise him, my salvation
Psa 42:11 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in GOD; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
Psa 37:1..... Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers!
Psa 37:2 For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb.
Psa 37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Psa 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psa 37:5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.
Psa 37:6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
Psa 37:7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
Psa 37:8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
Psa 37:9 For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
Psa 43:3 Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!
Psa 43:4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.
Psa 43:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in GOD; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
Dear Proud American in Canada,
To watch the deeds of men only leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Thankfully we can turn our eyes upon Jesus.
He will sweep away your angst with one sweet breath, one touch, One Word.
I pray that you will be refreshed by the word of the LORD who has seen what is in man......

LOL How many places could you make those statements in a row and not be carted off by men in white coats?
AND have those within ear shot nodding their heads in agreement???
I love Free Republic.
Prayers of peace, strength and love for all of our Frreper friends and family in need and in pain.
