A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
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....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

Christmas is a time for Families, Fun, and Festivities! A time of family gatherings and holiday meals. A time for Santa, stars, and singing carolers. A time for ornaments, gifts, and twinkling lights. Of sleigh rides, hot cocoa, and gingerbread cookies, but foremost it's the time of year to recognize the birth of Christ.
So now it's that time again! Time to get your favorite Christmas treats and hot cider or maybe some hot chocolate then sit back relax and enjoy listening to the Finest Collection of Christmas Music. ~ Aquamarine

The lyrics to the songs have been included in case you'd like to sing along. There will be more of a variation of Christmas Music as the thread progresses, would also like to encourage anyone who knows how to post music to please join in. Hope you enjoy!
Angels we have heard on high, Singing sweetly through the night, And the mountains in reply Echoing their brave delight. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer? What great brightness did you see? What glad tiding did you hear? Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ, the Lord, the new-born King. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
See him in a manger lai Whom the angels praise above; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While we raise our hearts in love. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem Shinning far through shadows dimmed Giving the life for those who long have gone on Guiding the wise men on their way Unto the place where Jesus lay Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on
Oh beautiful star the hope of light Guiding the pilgrims through the night Over the mountains 'till the break of dawn Into the land of perfect day It will give out a lovely ray Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem Star of Bethlehem Shine upon us until the glory dawn Give us a lamp to light the way Unto the land of perfect day Oh beautiful star of Bethelem shine on
Oh beautiful star the hope, the grace For the redeem of good and blessed Yonder in glory when the crowd is one Jesus is now the star divine Brighter and brighter he will shine Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on
O come all ye faithful Joyful and triumphant O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem Come and behold him Born the King of Angels O come let us adore him O come let us adore him O come let us adore him Christ the Lord
Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultations, Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above; Glory to God Glory In the highest: O come let us adore him O come let us adore him O come let us adore him Christ the Lord
Yea, Lord, we greet thee, Born this happy morning, Jesus, to thee be glory given; Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing: O come let us adore him O come let us adore him O come let us adore him Christ the Lord
O come all ye faithful Joyful and triumphant O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem Come and behold him Born the King of Angels O come let us adore him O come let us adore him O come let us adore him Christ the Lord
Joy to world, the Lord is come; Let earth receive her King. Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ, While fields and floods, rock, hills and plains, Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nation prove The glories of His righteouness And wonder of His love And wonder of His love And wonder of His love
May you have a Joyful Christmas!

YIPPIE!
Tomorrow Im gonna see The Return of the King and then Im going over to my parents house for Christmas Eve dinner and to open presents (a family tradition ever since I was a kid)
I need to make some wishes for all my Friends on FreeRepublic for this Christmas and for the coming year.
I wish everyone the happiest of Christmases and may God bless you all!
I wish 2004 will be a year a triumph and prosperity for each and every one of you. May this election year be a successful one for President Bush and for all good people running for office.
May all good Americans be celebrating victory on Nov. 2 this year.
May the terrorists be made small while true patriots become tall!
May God continue to bless President and Mrs. Bush; the Troops; All our elected officials; and all that post and lurk on Free Republic; and may God continue to bless America!

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Confession to God always brings cleansing from God.

River Of Forgiveness
Read: 1 John 1:5-9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Bible In One Year: 1 John 1-2
According to Greek mythology, King Augeus owned a stable with 3,000 oxen. Their stalls had not been cleaned out for 30 yearshence our English word Augean, which refers to something exceedingly filthy from long neglect. Hercules, the mythical strong man, was commanded to clean the Augean stable in a single day.
When Hercules first saw the stable, he was dismayed by its size, filthiness, and stench. Then he noticed that it was located between two great rivers, the Alpheus and the Peneus. He put his great strength to work and diverted the rivers so they flowed through the building. Within a short time the stable was rinsed clean.
The story is a myth, of course, but myths by their very nature preserve the yearnings of the cultures that embrace and perpetuate them. The story reflects, I believe, our own longing for someone to wash from our lives the accumulated waste and filth of the years.
There is a powerful river of forgiveness that flows from the cross of Christ. No defilement, even though Augean, can withstand its cleansing flow. When we humbly confess our sins, all of our unrighteousness is washed away (1 John 1:9). We can be sure that our "sins, which are many, are forgiven" (Luke 7:47). David Roper
Lord, give me courage to confess,
To bare my sinful heart to Thee;
Forgiving love You long to show
And from my sin to set me free. D. De Haan
Confession to God always brings cleansing from God.
