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!

"MA....He's touching me!!"

The cartoon above was inspired by a post I read last week on another thread. With all the crying that kerry is doing about the brave Swift Boat Vets speaking out, a FReeper named jamaly made the following comment:

"There should be editorial cartoons in every newspaper showing Kerry as a crybaby in diapers with a bonnet on, a bib around his neck, a rattler in his hand and great big tears rolling down his face. He should be sitting on Mama T's lap begging her to stop that mean President Bush! Man oh man, I wish I could draw!"

Though caricatures are not 'my thing', I took his suggestion, but it was easier without the bonnet, etc. ('besides, wouldn't want to muss up that hair. LOL)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The drawings below are 'my thing'. (Though it's been a few years since I did them and they've been posted many times, I just needed something else to fill this post!)  :)

Feel free to save and use any of the graphics. Have a Terrific Tuesday, and thanks for dropping in!

Lonely, But Not Alone

Read: John 16:25-33

You will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. —John 16:32

Bible In One Year: Psalms 116-118; 1 Corinthians 7:1-19

---

Her brief note to me spoke volumes. "I am a handicapped person in a wheelchair," she wrote. "I am very lonely even though I know I'm never alone. God is always there. I don't have a lot of people to talk to."

Loneliness has been termed the most desolate word in the English language. It is no respecter of age, race, economic status, or intelligence. Albert Einstein said, "It is strange to be known so universally, and yet to be so lonely."

God made us for intimacy and companionship with others. Even before sin entered the world, He declared that it is not good for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18). That's why many people often feel so empty inside.

Jesus knew loneliness too. He surely must have felt it when His disciples deserted Him (Mark 14:50). The Father's presence more than compensated for this, however. He said, "I am not alone, because the Father is with Me" (John 16:32). That intimacy with the Lord is available to all who put their trust in Him and His Word (14:16-23).

We can lessen our feelings of loneliness by reaching out to others. But even more important, we must reach out to the Lord. He is always with us, and He wants us to fellowship with Him throughout the day. —Dennis De Haan

When we are feeling all alone
And no one seems to care,
We must remember: Jesus said
That He is always there. —Sper

Those who know Jesus are never alone.

Fantastic drawings, Billie. I hadn't seen them before. I'm glad you posted them. I don't remember who did this one, but it seems to fit.

Good morning, Sunshine! (How fun it is to say that when talking to someone with that screenname!) Thank you for your compliments, and thank you for coming to A Few of FR's Finest today.

[Billie]

Thank you, Rus, and good morning and thank you for the coffee and the daily devotional - and the darling crybaby you posted!

You are very welcome to put any of the drawings on your Bush page - I have a few more if you wanted to look at the links on my profile page, which you're also welcome to use. :)

Thanks again for the coffee! :)

Thanks, Meg. Yeah, I love the way he accepts the challenge he threw out to "Bring it on!"

I hate everything about this lying, flip-flopping phony and all his enablers working so hard to silence the truth.

[MEG33]

You said it well..Me, Too!!

[Billie]

Hi, sweet liberty girl. Thank you - and your crybaby kerry graphic fits perfectly on this thread, too! He is such a baby.

[MEG33]

Thank you, Mayor!

[Billie]

Good morning, Gabz. Thank you so much. It's been a while since I've done anything new outside of that 'cartoon', which is actually harder for me than the real deal. :)
