A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....09-26-05....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 09/25/2005 7:11:25 PM PDT 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

Count On It!

Read:
Galatians 6:1-10

Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. —Galatians 6:7

Bible In One Year: Daniel 1-3

cover A children's book called The Chance World describes an imaginary planet where everything happens unpredictably. For example, the sun might rise one day or it might not, and it might appear at any hour. Some days the moon might come up in its place. One day you might jump up and not come down, and the next day find gravity so strong you can't even lift your feet.

Scottish biologist Henry Drummond commented that in such a place, where natural law was nonexistent, "reason would be impossible. It would become a lunatic world with a population of lunatics."

We should be thankful for the dependability of the natural laws that the Creator has set in motion. They are a great benefit to us if we recognize and respect them. If we violate those laws, however, we will suffer the consequences.

That is also true of God's spiritual laws, such as the one in today's text. The person who ignores God's standards and caters to sinful appetites can expect destruction. But the person who follows the leading of the Holy Spirit will experience the blessings of everlasting life.

God's laws never fail. For better or worse, you will reap what you sow. Count on it! —Richard De Haan

Surer than autumn's harvests
Are harvests of thought and deed;
Like those that our hands have planted,
The yield will be like the seed. —Harris

When we sow seeds of sin, we can count on a harvest of judgment.

Judge Ray Moore's speech to the Southern Baptist Convention

Incredible speech, brought tears to my eyes, made me feel like a Patriot again. I Love this man. He speaks for all of us. He is a true American Patriot and should be Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court.

48 minute speech if you have dial up I don't know if it will work. Streaming video.

Happy Family Day?
Here is mine
including FReeper TweetyinOhio

My mom & me from NE Ohio. My son Jeff and his family from NC. My niece Shawna (TweetyinOhio) and her family from Cleveland and my brother Duane & his family from Oklahoma. Taken last summer. The last time we were ALL together. (yes, I know it is a big pix - but lots of folks in pix & when I reduced it the faces got too small even with 19' flat screen and I want to show off my "kinfolk").

Mornin' Yer Honor.

Rain in the forcast today and the skies are confirming the weatherman's predictions.

Harvest time is in full swing throughout the area - Almonds, Walnuts and Tomatoes and Grapes head the list. It's a multi-million dollar industry around here.

Around here, locals pronounce "Almonds" as "Amonds". During harvest, a tractor with a "shaker" attachment grabs the tree trunk, shakes the tree and the nuts fall to the ground. The shaker creates such a large vibration to the tree, that it shakes the L right out of those tasty nuts. A sweeper follows to pick the nuts from the ground. Enjoy those Hershey candies with almonds folks. We've also got a Hershey plant 20 miles away in Oakdale, CA. Your purchase supports our local economy.
