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!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Thank you LadyX. This was timely. I am constantly amazed (and by now shouldn't be) that when I need a message it is delivered. I never know where it's coming from, but it always arrives -- if I listen.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Thank You this prayer

I, along with countless other Viet Nam and Viet Nam era vets, am troubled by the emotions that Hanoi Kerry has resurfaced.

I've been spending time each day on different forums on the internet spreading the word about Hanoi Kerry.

I AM getting thru to some but get attacked in the process.

It's 100 days till Nov 2

I'll continue the fight.

I do ask that God guide me in my mission.

Fairly well, found a really weird wasp.
It's two inches long, and orange over black.
And it digs holes in the dirt, then drags stuff to the holes.
Seriously NON-aggressive in behavior.
Weird.

[Diver Dave]

Your presentations today remind me of a quote I first heard years ago...

When Satan tries to bring you down by constantly bringing up your past, Just remind him of his future.

[The Mayor]

and we win, I read the Book!!

Hi DD

[The Mayor]

AMEN!

[LadyX]

Tonk -- I can certainly identify with your emotions over the Vietnam Thing, living it as well.

You perhaps are succeeding in FAR MORE WAYS than you know, dear friend, and many of us 'out here' support you and your efforts with prayer constantly, without your realizing it...

Your devotion and dedication inspire many of us.
Your efforts to support the military, past and present, are legion - and are known to Our Father!

It is He who assigned you your tasks in life, and He - and we - can see you are trying your best to fulfill that purpose.

{{{{{ Mega Hugs to One of Our Very Finest, Tonk }}}}}

Sincerely, dear Brother,

~ LadyX

[LadyX]

Wonderful points, Dave and Rus...:))

The devil is the Ultimate "Looser" - -
never those who are saved.

[LadyX]

It is a common thing, Aeronaut, for all of us to need a specific 'word' and for it to be delivered "right on time"!!

We then realize it is not some random thing dropping out of the universe, but a direct message from God.

Don't you imagine He sighs, as He plops it in front of us?!!
"Guess I'll have to remind My Child (him/her) again..."

We then say, "Sorry, Father.." and "THANK YOU!"

[The Mayor]

America the Beautiful or so you used to be,
Land of the Pilgrims pride, I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion of demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty, your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain.
From sea to shining sea our Nation turns away,
From the teaching of God's love and a need to always pray.

So many worldly pastors tell lies about our Rock,
Saying God is going broke so they can fleece the flock.
We've kept God in our temples, how callous we have grown,
When earth is but His footstool and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless judges who throw reason out the door,
Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not angry that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will he wait before His judgment comes?
How are we to face our God from whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do, but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children will humbly turn and pray,
Seek His holy face and mend our evil way,
Then God will hear from Heaven and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land and those who live within.

But America the Beautiful if you don't then you will see,
A sad but Holy God withdraw His hand from thee.

[LadyX]

So very well stated, Your Honor - and why we gather here to encourage one another to press on.....
We cannot afford to lose sight of our goal.

[Kudsman]

Glory Be. Amen and thanks Mags. I have found it to be good to read something Good and I'm glad I read your post.

Greetings KB. If you have a free moment please read post #74 of this thread. Have a great week.

[Kudsman]

Bump. And your right about who wins. The book is always better than the movie. ;-)

[LadyX]

"The book is always better than the movie. ;-)"

LOL - how true!!

Hugs to your two little ones, Kudzu Man...
and may God bless your whole family abundantly.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Thank You for "listening"

Just got back from the store

I'm ready to carry on

[LadyX]

You are a True Hero, Brian - we know it, and love you.

Okay, Coastie - suck it up, and DEAL WITH THAT!!

Thanks LadyX
hope your weekend has been very good

Dear Friends and Relatives:

We have the distinguished honor of being on the committee to raise $5,000,000 for a monument of Bill Clinton.

We originally wanted to put him on Mt. Rushmore until we discovered there was not enough room for two more faces.

We then decided to erect a statue of Bill Clinton in the Washington, D. C. Hall Of Fame.
We were in a quandary as to where the statue should be placed.

It was not proper to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie,
or beside Jesse Jackson, who never told the truth, since Bill Clinton could never tell the difference.

We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus,
the greatest Democrat of them all.
He left not knowing where he was going,
and when he got there he did not know where he was.
He returned not knowing where he had been,
and did it all on someone else's money.

If you are one of the fortunate people who have anything left after taxes,
we expect a generous contribution to this worthwhile project.

Thank you.

Bill Clinton Monument Committee


P. S. The Committee has raised $1.35 so far.
Now let me get this straight.......
Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs.
His wife Hillary got $8 million for hers.
That's $20 million for memories from two people who for eight years repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.

God bless America
