how many Freepers are there in Wyoming?

[GeronL]

I mean how many are active?

[Mama_Bear]

27, but only 25 are listed on the State page. I don't quite understand it.

[Mama_Bear]

I don't know, but 25 are flying the Wyoming flag on their profile page.

[Mama_Bear]

It's bedtime on the left coast. I'll see you all in the morning.

[GeronL]

Thanks, Lori.


On journeys through the States

ON journeys through the States we start,
(Ay through the world, urged by these songs,
Sailing henceforth to every land, to every sea,)
We willing learners of all, teachers of all, and lovers of all.

We have watch'd the seasons dispensing themselves and passing on,
And have said, Why should not a man or woman do as much as the
seasons, and effuse as much?

We dwell a while in every city and town,
We pass through Kanada, the North-east, the vast valley of the
Mississippi, and the Southern States,
We confer on equal terms with each of the States,
We make trial of ourselves and invite men and women to hear,
We say to ourselves, Remember, fear not, be candid, promulge the
body and the soul,
Dwell a while and pass on, be copious, temperate, chaste, magnetic,
And what you effuse may then return as the seasons return,
And may be just as much as the seasons.

- Walt Whitman -

Thank you for pinging me to the thread, Mama Bear. My kids and I spent some time exploring Wyoming in 1994 on a cross-country camping adventure with their grandma. My cousin was living in Wyoming at the time, so he acted as our tour guide; and we had a blast.

Wyoming is a beautiful state, and the people are some of the best around. And of course, I took a ton of pictures (the old-fashioned kind, so I can't post any here).

Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, . . . for I have not found your works perfect before God. —Revelation 3:2

Wake-Up Call

Read: Revelation 3:1-6

Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, . . . for I have not found your works perfect before God. —Revelation 3:2

Bible In One Year: Judges 9-10; Luke 5:17-39

---

On February 26, 1993, a powerful bomb exploded in the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing six people and injuring more than a thousand. It sparked an aggressive investigation with many arrests. But few law enforcement authorities recognized it as part of an international terrorist plot. When the Trade Center towers were destroyed by terrorists in 2001, police commissioner Raymond Kelly looked back on the first attack and said, "It should have been a wake-up call for America."

The Lord told the church at Sardis that although they had a reputation for being spiritually alive, they were dead. He told them to wake up: "Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent" (Revelation 3:2-3).

The call to every believer is to be vigilant toward the Lord rather than lax and indifferent. If the fire has gone out in our hearts, He pleads with us to stir the embers into flame again.

Ask yourself: Has there been a wake-up call in my life recently that I've missed? Is God trying to tell me something? Will I answer His wake-up call today? —David McCasland

Lord, grant to us a holy zeal
That burns within our heart;
A zeal like Yours for truth and right
From which we'll not depart. —D. De Haan

To keep your heart from growing cold, stay on fire for God.

Thank you for the tribute to Wyoming "Where men are men and so are some of the women" In my home county the Republican primary is the one that counts. If you win that you are elected. Our veterans are loved as much as our horses.
