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

[The Mayor]

Thank You Dave!

[The Mayor]

To you too Tulip!

[The Mayor]

Yes it does work, some are receptive and a few are not.

Tough Love...

[luvie]

Tough love, exactly. God has used it since the beginning! If it is good enough for Him, it should be good enough for the likes of us.

[LadyX]

"Tough love, exactly. God has used it since the beginning! If it is good enough for Him, it should be good enough for the likes of us."

Speaking of "Tough Love" brings me to news from my daughter this past hour!
She and Bill now reside in sorry - clinton SC, where Bill is a District Manager for Waffle House, and Jennifer who used to be a Manager, is now the Trainer for the Region for them.

Tied in with their church and the Waffle House Affinity Program footing the bills, they are going to feed 500 breakfast this coming weekend!

It is officially Bikers' Weekend, with two former rival gangs holding a concert outdoors at Lake Greenwood, drawing thousands.

The gangs are now both part of Bikers for Christ, and out to motivate the younger gnerations, with music and speakers with their experiences from terrible pasts; now saved and hopeful and productive.

GOD AT WORK, FOLKS!!
Isn't it awesome??

[luvie]

Lady--God is always Awesome! He uses whatever means that is available to get His message out! Sounds like your daughter and hubby are gonna be reeeely busy this weekend!

[LadyX]

"Sounds like your daughter and hubby are gonna be reeeely busy this weekend!"

Thy suuuurely won't be "bored"..:))
lol

The two gangs once upon a time used to be out to annihilate one another, but now have been recruited into God's Gang, spreading His Words!!

[luvie]

That is just a lot of bikes in one place. Good thing they have turned to God--the fights could have been a real scary possiblity!

[LadyX]

'Thy' -- lost muh "e" ---sigh...

[Dubya]

GOD AT WORK, FOLKS!!
Isn't it awesome??

It sure is.

[The Mayor]

Bikers for Christ

These guys are on a mission from God!

[LadyX]

Thank you for the Bikers graphic, Rus!

It's wonderful when your children are tuned into Our Living God Among Us - not some distant "imagined entity" ---

How reassuring it is when they know Him in a comfortable, close way, and joyously praise and worship Him!

[The Mayor]

Amen..

My kids are very comfortable about Praying, Parents have taught them well.

[Diver Dave]

Great to hear about your daughter and SIL, Auntie M.

Drive-by greeting tonight before I sit down to watch Billy Graham on our local channel. Taped broadcast from Los Angeles Crusade. Michael W. Smith, Gaither Vocal Band, Joni Erickson Tada and of course Billy. Another "This Side of Heaven" preview for what's in store...

[Temple Owl]

Amen! Great picture.

[WVNan]

Yeah, but I have to work that day too. :o)

[WVNan]

Wow! That sounds like God at work to me. How's my Sistah?

[luvie]

Like a light shining in the darkness, He will lead you home. Good night all--God be with you all.

[Billie]

Come see what's cookin' at the Finest today.
