A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

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....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

I received this in my email June 10th, the author is unknown.
I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

He came into His own
A man among the masses;
A man who gave them answers
That they had never known.

A man who asked for nothing
But that they loved their brother
He bought them for a ransom
That He could pay alone.

He walked the dusty roads
They broke bread with Living Water
He told them if they came to Him
They'd never be alone.

He said His Father's house
Was made of many mansions,
And when He came again
He'd come to take them home.

Heaven opened up its doors;
God came and lived among us.
He said that He was the only way
If they would hear his voice.
Heaven opened up its doors;
A child was given to us.
Never again---shackled by sin
But every man would make his choice.

[MEG33]

Thank you for the lovely devotionals. A blessed Sunday to all.

[luvie]

I placed the table here, too, but didn't want to ping you twice as it is so big. Thanks again.

[luvie]

You're welcome. God bless you, too.

[Darksheare]

I ended up being offline due to network issues.
*gaaah!*

Haven't found the good image yet.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Keep trying. I know you'll find it.

Hope you're doing OK.

[Darksheare]

Doing okay.
Just wish I knew where that pic went.
*sigh*


Liekly I'll find it in about a month when some of the packed tubs get moved and nobody is paying attention.
*snort*

That seems to be the way things work on my end.
;-)

[Victoria Delsoul]

I have an idea, why don't you move the packed tubs now and pretend you aren't paying attention.

I need to make dinner, be back in a bit. ;-)

[Darksheare]

Thought of doing that.
Doesn't work, at least it didn't last time I tried it.
It's almost as if something is waiting for me to truly not be paying attention.
*chuckle*

Murphy's Law of lost items I guess.

[DollyCali]

That is JUST LOVELY Ms. Luv! Wonderful Pix, wonderful wording & Wonderful Table. thank you!

[luvie]

Thanks, Dolly--the words just needed to be framed. He is such a good writer!

[Aquamarine]

Thanks for the beautiful post LUV W. Love the painting of Jesus, it looks three dimensional.

[LadyX]

Hi, Aqua - - hope everyone is watching Extreme Makeover on ABC!!
Another wonderful, heartwarming tearjerker for a deserving family in Colorado.

They train *rejected* wild horses, and in addition to their two children, adopted 4 *rejected* kids...the kids made the video appeal, and explained they would take in MORE children if they had the space.

The mother homeschools them all, and in addition to a new house, will get a separate schoolhouse!

Back to watching the last half hour...

[The Mayor]

Please Join us here for Military Monday..

Thank you.

I had to leave at 4:30 my time & go to my 2nd job, where we worked liked santa's elves at Christmas. It was the monthly "super day", members received an 10% off, 5 more than the rest of the month. At the end of the night at least one of the owners comes in to look at their profits.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I'll miss you doing the holiday postings tulip. : (
Please have whoever takes it over ping me please.

[tuliptree76]

Hi PAL. I'm just quickly checking messages before I go to class. I haven't had anyone volunteer to take over the holiday postings, but I'll give them my ping list too if I get a volunteer.

[deadhead]

Great pics, thank you for sharing

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you, tulip. Good to "see" you.
