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!

T he election's over, but the euphoria remains for nearly 60 million of us! And now we have another Inaugural Ball to look forward to in January. Of course, that means we get to play dress-up again, so I thought it would be fun to see what a few of FR's well-dressed ladies would be wearing to the ball.

And who better to present them than two of the Finest' most eligible bachelors - the very suave and debonair Louie Wolf and the equally charming and debonair Johnny Fox (aka ST.LOUIE1 and jwfiv, respectively)

I know you're thinking, "Just show us the pictures already," so let's get started. Feel free to whistle anytime. I'll let the pictures do all the talking. Suffice it to say, th' fox and th' wolfie are in very good company.   :)

L ast, but most certainly not least, one final show-stopping
gown on a very popular Freeperette - the one who oversees
many of our live threads of very important news events.

Howlin insisted on being pictured with *both* Wolfie and JFox




Have a Terrific Tuesday!

This may be sort of a Guy thread, so Gentlemen, start your engines. Lots of Eye Candy. :)

[Billie]

Yes, I've been playing in the FReeper Album and FReeper profile pages again. :) Thank you all for making today's thread prettier and funner. I can't decide which is my favorite gown, but I'm leaning towards four of them. ALL of you look absolutely stunning!

Hope For Worriers

Read: Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. —Psalm 23:1

Bible In One Year: Jeremiah 46-47; Hebrews 6

---

Everyone worries occasionally, but I was once a "professional worrier." My daily preoccupation was mulling over my worries, one by one.

Then one day I had to face an uncomfortable medical test, and I was frantic with fear. Finally I decided that during the test I would focus on the first five words of Psalm 23, "The Lord is my shepherd." This exercise in meditation not only calmed me, but I gained several fresh insights. Later, as I slowly meditated through the entire psalm, the Lord gave me more insights. Eventually I was able to share at conferences what the Lord had taught me.

If you're a worrier, there's hope for you too! Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life, wrote: "When you think about a problem over and over in your mind, that's called worry. When you think about God's Word over and over in your mind, that's meditation. If you know how to worry, you already know how to meditate!"

The more we meditate on God's Word, the less we need to worry. In Psalm 23, David meditated on his great Shepherd instead of worrying. Later, God chose him to be the shepherd of His people (Psalm 78:70-72). God uses those who can honestly say, "The Lord is my shepherd." —Joanie Yoder

When fear and worry test your faith
And anxious thoughts assail,
Remember God is in control
And He will never fail. —Sper

The more we think about God's Word, the less we'll think about our worries.

GOP women are beautiful!Applause!

[Billie]

Take a bow, you two! You worked hard today. :)

    

[Dog Gone]

Hubba hubba!!

[Carolina]

They look mah-velous, Billie. I was kinda hoping to wear my slinky pajamas! ;)

[dansangel]

Great job and a *fun* thread ((((((((Billie)))))))))

Our men-folks look absolutely *ravishing*.

Is it my eyes or does Howlin bear a striking resemblance to.....oh, never mind. :-)

(I think I'm just a *wee* bit jealous!)

:-)

[abigail2]

Don't forget AnnaZ, LadyJen and feinswinesuksass......(See liberty bells).
Hangfire is a hunk!

[mountaineer]

Very clever artwork and beautiful dresses, Billie. Oh yes, the "gentlemen" are quite handsome, too.

[tame]

JESUS LAND! i LOVE it :o)

[anniegetyourgun]

I'm contemplating the Ball, but if I go....don't you think I should try to find something a bit more patriotic?

[Capriole]

We are privileged to have such ladies among us--women of courage, virtue, and beauty. This raises the eternal question: why are Republican women so much more lovely than liberal women? Does liberalism make them homely or are homely women attracted to liberalism? Or both?

[anniegetyourgun]

Although, it looks like everyone is going full-length. I hear lame is making a come back....

[anniegetyourgun]

No, no....that lame is just too lame.

[ValerieUSA]

*LOL Great fashion show!
I guess whipping out my sewing machine and putting together something stylish from the fabric scraps around the house just ain't gonna do for this event.

[The Mayor]

Now, I like that!

[stockpirate]

Now I must admit I like that outfit!

[anniegetyourgun]

Might be a bit chilly in January in D.C. for that one.....
