A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....08-06 thru 08-08-04....T.G.I.F. at the Finest
Billie

Posted on 08/06/2004 6:25:53 AM PDT by Billie



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!

Bush - Cheney 04




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. : )

Afraid Of The Dentist?

Read: 1 Samuel 12:6-25

Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord. —1 Samuel 12:20

Bible In One Year: Psalms 70-71; Romans 8:22-39


Why are so many people afraid of going to the dentist? It may be the result of a bad experience. One woman said of her childhood dentist, "I started getting upset and crying and he said, 'If you don't shut up, I'm going to slap you.'" She now drives 70 miles to The Dental Fears Clinic in Kansas City.

People who are afraid to go to God have a similar problem. Some may have been mistreated by spiritual leaders. Others may have learned unhealthy fear of God as children. Still others, overwhelmed by their sin, see only God's righteous demand for justice and miss the loving provision of His Son's sacrifice for sin.

The people in today's Bible reading (1 Samuel 12) were afraid because Samuel exposed their sin. But he also told them that God longed to forgive them.

We need to replace irrational fears with healthy ones. God's Word repeatedly assures us that the pain of going to Him is far less than the pain of avoiding Him. It also assures us that because of Jesus we can "come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy" (Hebrews 4:16).

A dentist fills the holes in your teeth, but God wants to fill the holes in your heart—with Himself. Don't let your unhealthy fear stop Him. —Mart De Haan

The love of God is my pillow,
Soft and healing and wide;
I rest my soul in its comfort,
And in its calm I abide. —Long

Only God can fill the emptiness of an aching heart.

Those swiftboat veterans are going to need a lot of prayer. The media do not like what they have to say in their little book!

Good morning, Billie. I've just been watching president Bush on CSPAN address UNITY: Journalist Of Color Conference. Some hecklers tried to rile him, but it didn't stop him. He will be going to Maine today for the wedding of his nephew, George P. Bush.

Everyone, hope you have a fantastic Friday.

Morning, Aeronaut - know you've been keeping up with all the 'news' lately - looks like it's really going to be ugly this campaign. :(

Hi, cyborg. They really are - and I'm glad to know that so many FReepers are sending contributions to help keep their ad out there! It burns me up how 'the media' wants to stifle ANYthing THEY don't want to hear.....but get such joy and satisfaction out of all the trash coming from *their* side (we make no mistake about that - it's perfectly clear they HAVE a *side* - ANYBODY BUT BUSH.)

Good morning, Texagirl - hope you are getting better every day and will be able to spend more time with us soon.

Just want this election to be over so our President can get back to concentrating on keeping this country safe and continuing the success he's had in the war on terror.
