A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....08-29-05....Military Monday
Billie, 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

Sweet Company

Read:
John 14:15-26

The Spirit of truth . . . dwells with you and will be in you. —John 14:17

Bible In One Year: 1 Chronicles 24-26

cover The elderly woman in the nursing home didn't speak to anyone or request anything. It seemed she merely existed, rocking in her creaky old chair. She didn't have many visitors, so one young nurse would often go into her room on her breaks. Without asking the woman questions to try to get her to talk, she simply pulled up another chair and rocked with her. After several months, the elderly woman said to her, "Thank you for rocking with me." She was grateful for the companionship.

Before He went back to heaven, Jesus promised to send a constant companion to His disciples. He told them He would not leave them alone but would send the Holy Spirit to be in them (John 14:17). That promise is still true for believers in Jesus today. Jesus said that the triune God makes His "home" in us (v.23).

The Lord is our close and faithful companion throughout our entire life. Recording artist Scott Krippayne expresses this truth in song: "In my deepest night He is the guiding star; in my sinfulness He is the forgiving heart; a willing ear for each silent prayer, a shoulder for burdens I cannot bear. Sweet company from now through all eternity."

We can enjoy His sweet company today. —Anne Cetas

In my bed of thorns, He is the fragrant rose;
In my wilderness, He's the stream that flows;
A shelter built with loving grace,
His refuge shall be my dwelling place. —Krippayne

The Christian's heart is the Holy Spirit's home.

Good evening, Mayor! Thanks for your daily lesson in God's word. Life is always sweeter when we belong to the Lord.

I hope this week is a productive one for you. We always look forward to you telling us what is going on either with the re-model or the campaign....especially the campaign. Does your district include West Seneca?

Thank you to our awesome Military! Thanks, Rus, for another Military Monday. Have just read the "After Action" report by basil of the Crawford Rally and saw your ping to the Military Monday.

God Bless our Troops! God Bless our Leaders!

Katrina looks bad watching FNC at present, question they keep referring to the area as the Big Easy is this to do with New Orleans jazz history or what?

Hi Billie, I saw the Crawford threads what an awesomw showing by FReepers.
God Bless them all for traveling so far to support our Men and Women.

I have also been watching the hurricane threads, what a catastrophic event that is about to unfold on New Orleans and the whole Gulf coast.
We are expecting rain to hit us wednesday/Thursday.

I always look forward to your reports. Please keep me on your ping list! :o)

I have a FReeper friend who lives in West Seneca, and I was hoping to get him to help in your campaign...course I haven't asked him yet. Wanted to find out if it would be in his district. I'm not even sure how political he is, but I know you can always use extra hands.

Good evening Rus! I just caught up with reading & posts/responding on weekend thread. My approximate comment re: computers... cars, computers, men.. so nice but often so frustrating.. (har, know you would add an "wo" at the appropriate place.) With three computers in this house that work how & when they chose, I am now using a friends.. grrrr. I like to think I am astute with security: virus, spyware & necessary updates. But alas, it seems that is not enough. Would be nice to be able to get new computer every 6 weeks or so when the computer you are NOW using decides to head south, despite being fastidious.

Thanks for the thread dear FReeper FRiend.. hope your weekend was restful & fulfilling!
