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!

"You've posted a total of 501 threads and 32,396 replies."
Not ALL of those 501 threads have been posted to the Finest, but probably most were. The following are a few of my favorites - they don't include profiles, because those are too hard to choose from, and they don't include the many wonderful threads that the other hostesses have created and presented over the past two and a half years....just those ideas that popped into my head and ended up *here*.
If you missed the original presentations and are inclined to check out the full thread, the link is provided above each vignette. (A brief description of each can be read by holding your mouse over the graphic heading.)

LOL! ....the colors you have here are a LOT more vibrant than those old prints....LOL! It's because *I* colored it! You might not believe how *many* pictures I cut and pasted together to get the five of us in one 'setting'. :) The background was one all by itself - I used two or three 'ladies' pictures, which had to have five faces switched, and then cut out, colored and pasted in front of the curtain background - then I found a frame to finish it. LOL! (In that thread, we joked that it was our old prom dresses) :)

Thanks, Aqua! There was already a thread 'introducing' Miss Beasley, so couldn't do that one here. :)

LOL! The first time I had an eye exam, the Optometrist said I had the 'shortest' face. :)

That reminds me the Optometrist I went to Monday said there wasn't anything serious wrong with my eyes, that I just have floaters.
To: Salvation
Good morning, Salvation. Wishing you a wonderful new year. :)

Choose To Feel
Read: Hosea 11
My heart churns within Me; My sympathy is stirred. Hosea 11:8
Bible In One Year: Genesis 37-39
The bumper sticker on the blue van caught my attention:
CHOOSE TO FEEL
As I considered those words, I noticed the billboards I was passing. They urged me to choose things that would keep me from feelingalcohol to deaden emotional pain; fat-laden food to alleviate feelings of emptiness; luxury cars and other expensive items to lessen feelings of worthlessness.
Many of the temptations that lure us away from God do so by promising to relieve the emotional hurt we all feel because of the consequences of sinour own sin or someone else's.
God set a different example. Instead of becoming numb to the pain our sin causes, He chose to suffer the results of it. Through the prophet Hosea, God expressed the heart-wrenching pain of losing a wayward child. "I stooped and fed them," He said tenderly. "I drew them with gentle cords, with bands of love" (11:3-4). Still they rejected their heavenly Father. Reluctantly, He let them face the consequences.
When we choose to feel the full range of our emotions, we come to a fuller understanding of the God who created us in His imagethe image of One who feels.
It's okay to feel that all is not right in the world. God feels that way too! Julie Link
God knows each winding way I take,
And every sorrow, pain, and ache;
His children He will not forsake
He knows and loves His own. Bosch
Choosing to deaden bad feelings eventually deadens our ability to feel good.

Yes, the doctor said they will go away but then that more will come along. :(
