A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....03-07-05....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 03/07/2005 4:43:03 AM PST by The Mayor




A Few of FR's Finest
....Every Day
FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which we can express ourselves.
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 November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.
Still that didn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.
There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!
If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.
Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.
Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

Oh, good! Glad you'll be here. Love that font color you just used - sort of a periwinkle blue (on my end anyway) :) - one of my most flattering colors to wear. :)

Weeellll! Is it just me or is FR a little bit slooowww this afternoon? My posts just don't show up in time. Anyhow, I gotta get off of here and get something done around this house. My mom-in-law is coming tomorrow and I haven't even made up her bed, yet after taking the sheets off it. *sigh* I'd rather be here, but the day is going fast!

United we stand,
Steadfast and tall,
Commited to peace,
And freedom for all.
For times like these,
That try all our souls,
Can renew our faith,
In ourselves and our goals.
Let's open our hearts,
As our proud banners wave,
O'er the land of the free,
And the home of the brave!

It's just like gossip, gossip starts rumors, rumors get blown out of proportion and then comes the hard feelings.
That's why the Lord tells us if we have any issue with others take it to them, if it doesn;t work, bring a witness, etc...
All we have to do is abide by his words and life will be much better for us all.

Matthew 18 guides us through the discipline a Christian needs to abide by. We have had to use it in our Church.

Matthew 18 guides us through the discipline a Christian needs to abide by. We have had to use it in our Church.

We have, too, and it is heart-wrenching. But it was done in love and with lots of prayer, and in some cases the ones disciplined were eventually made stronger by the action that was taken by the Elders and were returned to fellowship. Discipline works in churches and it works in homes!
