The Texan who donated the $1500.00 wants you to know that this gift was given in the name of those FReepers who cannot donate for whatever the reason. Fellow Freepers who may feel guilty because you couldn't donate, You're covered. God Bless FR and all the FReepers.

Thank you TEXAS!! Thank you ALL very much!!

Wonder if this Texan lives in Crawford, TX.?
Remember Ted Nugent also lives there. ;o)

[Fiddlstix]

Hey, Unc J
do you by any chance have a copy of the old song:
I'm a long tall Texan

I was wondering is you have that one in your archives?
If memorys serves, it has been recorded three different times.
1) The Kingsmen 2)The Beach Boys 3) Lyle Lovett

Thanks in advance J

[uncleshag]

I believe I do!!

By one, two or all of the three.

[RottiBiz]

Thank you, Long Tall Texan, for being such a good friend to Free Republic.

;-)

Stay well!!!!

The Legend Of The First Robin

One day, long ago, a little bird in Jerusalem saw
a large crowd gathered around a Man carrying a
heavy wooden cross. On the Man's head was a
crown made from a thorn branch.

The thorns were long and sharp. The little bird
saw that the thorns were hurting the Man.
It wanted to help Him, so it flew down and took the
longest, sharpest thorn in its tiny beak.

The bird tugged and pulled until the thorn
snapped from the branch. Then a strange thing
happened. A drop of blood
fell onto the bird's breast, staining it bright red.

The stain never went away.
And so today the robin proudly wears a
red breast, because it helped a Man named Jesus.




May God bless you today,
And keep you all year through.
May God give you all the faith it takes,
To make your dreams come true.
May His love and wisdom always help,
To guide you on your way.
May His light shine down upon you now,
To bless your every day.

[gidget7]

I think "God Blessed Texas" would do nicely!! btw I just love that song!!

hmmmmmmm curious.....the Crawford thing LOL God Bless the Texas donor, whoever he may be, a true Freeper!

[Fiddlstix]

You're welcome thar, Ma'am J

(Truth be known, I ain't a long tall Texan though. I'm short and ugly, old and missing teeth,I am known to wander around the ranch aimlessly mumbling to myself. I bump my head on the barn door a lot too. And I drool. All in all, not a very pretty sight.)

[Fiddlstix]

I'll use that when I post another graphic J

[glock rocks]

God Bless the Texas donor, whoever he may be, a true Freeper!
