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!

They come in all shapes and sizes,



Colors and textures and densities.





Some are squishy



Some are solid



And some even have beans in their bottoms!





They have long legs



And short legs.





They can be boy bears





And girl bears.





There are bear families



And even bear singles.



Some are just downright *different*.





No matter what they look like,
however they feel
Love from a teddy bear
is love that is real.



Come share your favorite teddy bear story
with all of us here at the Finest!

A Significant Impact

Read: Daniel 10

We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against . . . the rulers of the darkness of this age. —Ephesians 6:12

Bible In One Year: Leviticus 11-12; Matthew 26:1-25

---

John Wesley was convinced that the prayers of God's people rather than his preaching accounted for the thousands who came to Christ through his ministry. That's why he said, "God will do nothing except in answer to prayer." An overstatement? Yes. But the fact is that our praying is a powerful weapon in the war between God and Satan.

In today's Scripture reading, Daniel was so disturbed by a revelation about Israel's future that he could do nothing except fast and pray. Three weeks later a heavenly messenger appeared, saying that God had sent him when Daniel prayed, but that the prince of Persia had detained him (10:13). This "prince" was an evil spirit who sought to influence the rulers of Persia to oppose God's plan. He had detained God's messenger, until the archangel Michael came to his aid.

A cosmic conflict between good and evil is continually being fought in the invisible spirit world. Paul reminded us that it involves Christians. He listed the spiritual armor and weaponry we need for these battles (Ephesians 6:13-17), and then he added "praying always" (v.18).

Our prayers can have a significant impact on the outcome of those spiritual battles. May we, therefore, faithfully pray as we fight the good fight (1 Timothy 1:18). —Herb Vander Lugt

Something happens when we pray,
Powers of evil lose their sway,
We gain strength and fear gives way—
Therefore, let us pray. —Anon.

G'morning and happy birthday.

[dansangel]

Love the Teddy (and Tigger) graphics ((((((nicmarshmallow)))))))

[nicmarlo]

Morning dansdevil! Hope you have a good day....watch that tigger....he's a scamp! : )

[dansangel]

Thank you for the daily scripture (((((Rus)))))) - and a very Blessed and Happy Birthday to you (again!), too!

Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle
be our defense against the wickedness and snares
of the devil.
May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray;
and do thou,
O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan
and the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world
for the ruin of souls.
Amen
~Pope Leo XIII 1878-1903~

[dansangel]

watch that tigger....he's a scamp! : )

No wonder you and he get along so well - LOL!!

[sigh] I'm booked pretty heavily into meetings all morning, so I'm trying to do what little FReeping I can now. Hope to catch you later!

[The Mayor]

Thankyou so much!

You have a great day, I will...

[dansangel]

Our pleasure - and please know that you are in my daily prayers. God will provide - He always does.

[nicmarlo]

Work....isn't it just so much *fun*! : ) (I'm ignoring your insinuation....harumph!).

[The Mayor]

Mornin Aeronaut, Thank You Sir!

[dansangel]

(I'm ignoring your insinuation....harumph!)

I would expect nothing different from you, nicmarshmallow. :-)

BTW, isn't there a Lotto hit for us sometime in the near future???? This *w-o-r-k* thing is for the birds....

[nicmarlo]

I guess that lotto thing would only work if you actually buy a ticket, lol. I think work is for the birds, as well.

[The Mayor]

Thanks .45MAN, hope you have a good day..
