I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, One Nation Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All.

[dutchess]

1st???

[Diver Dave]

All Right! It's now official. The presstitutes have got two, count 'em, one, two johns. No arrests are expected according to vice officers

John, let's see now, July to November, equals 16 weeks of material to write about. This is gonna be so much fun.

I like the graphic layout you created dutchess. johnjohn will fight til November for face time in front of the cameras.

Make-up! We need make-up over here!

[Mo1]

Picking Edwards is Kerry's way of showing he's serious about reaching out -- a privileged billionaire reaching out to a less privileged millionaire. Very touching. (Who says Kerry's out of touch with average, everyday yacht owners?)

ROFL!!!

BRAVO!!!

[Aeronaut]

Good morning Dutchess.

[MeekOneGOP]

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Thursday !

[MeekOneGOP]

November 2nd, the two Johns will flush themselves.

I borrowed the photoshop pic from Freeper farfromhome (my caption. Click on the pic!):

Kerry: "I want to kiss you, Johnny."

Edwards: "Go for it, Johnny."

Edwards: "Your mouthwash just ain't cuttin' it!!"

Inner Strength

Read: Ephesians 3:14-21

[I pray] that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. —Ephesians 3:16

Bible In One Year: Job 36-37; Acts 15:22-41

---

A large company uses suction to extract contaminating substances from steel drums. Powerful pumps draw the materials out of the barrels, but the workers must carefully regulate the force of these pumps. If they take out too much air, the drums will collapse like paper cups, because the outer pressure will exceed the inner pressure.

Likewise, when adversity and hardship come into our lives, God must empower us from within or we will be unable to withstand the pressures from without. True, we get solid support from loved ones and Christian friends, but it is our spiritual inner man,“strengthened with might through His Spirit”(Ephesians 3:16), that sustains us and keeps us from crumpling.

The Holy Spirit works to strengthen us and renew our minds as we read the Bible and pray. If we neglect the Scriptures, seldom talk with the Lord, and stop fellowshiping with other believers, we’ll grow weak and vulnerable. Then we will be unable to withstand the pressures of temptation or trouble.

Let’s ask the Lord to develop our inner strength so that when life’s blows and burdens press upon us we will not cave in. —Dave Egner

Help us, O Lord, when troubles come
To trust Your Word and not succumb,
And help us not to turn aside
But in Your strength and love abide. —D. De Haan

The power of Christ within you is greater than the pressure of troubles around you.

[Conspiracy Guy]

The power of Christ within you is greater than the pressure of troubles around you.

Simple but powerfully true.

[Aquamarine]

Bravo! Very well done you two.
Dutchess this has to be your best presentation so far.

[Pippin]

Howdy (((Dutchess)))!

[Temple Owl]

Happy July 8 Freepers everywhere. Thanks for another great job dutchess and John.

[dutchess]

Quick in and out...busy work day. Let the fun begin!!!

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess or Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Miss D, Miss Billie, Mr. JohnHuang2 ... thank you all ... a delightul and upifiting way to start the day

"A Gigolo/Shyster ticket does wonders for the party's image problems, too." ... too funny, appropos and true.

These JohnJohns will crash just like the other one. They've lost track of the horizon and are already in their downward spiral.

Mindful of Kerry and his new puppy, I wish all the Finest a very good hair day ... )

Meanwhile, here's a pic of a genuine guy, no metrosexual he.

[Pippin]

Hi, (((JW)))!

President Bush will make short work of those "Johnnys" come lately! :O)

[jwfiv]

Hey, Piippin ... yes, I agree ... Dubya will stomp them but goooooooood.

[Pippin]

YEP!

[Libertina]

Thanks for that wonderful party photo! Looks like our President had a great celebration! :)
