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.

[Billie]

Thank you sistah for the TGIF wear Red Friday thread!

Welcome, thank *you*! And I bet you would have worn red even if it WASN'T Red Friday. :)

[Aeronaut]

It's always good to see you here.

Thank you Billie.

[Billie]

:) Don't you want to use the blonde guy in the red shirt to do your vacuuming on Fridays? :)

[Billie]

Good afternoon, pretty GBU! :)

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL!! I do. ;)

[LadyX]

Don't want to incite a riot among conservatives poised
to circle for the kill at the drop of a hat - - but - -

LadyX predicts there will be a *third* vacancy on the Supreme Court
requiring GWB to find a suitable candidate.

History in the making, with an opportunity to strengthen America?!

[Billie]

Just an old-fashioned girl! :o)

Oh, I know - me, too. :)

[Billie]

He could make short work of the vacuuming, couldn't he? (Course, I'd hate to think if there was an oil leak on my almost white carpet. YIKES! :)

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL, Billie! Hmm, an oil leak, I agree, I think, I'll ask him to just use the vacuum. :)

[luvie]

Whoa! Now THAT'S a different kind of "old fashioned"!!! LOL! Beautiful!

[Billie]

LadyX predicts there will be a *third* vacancy on the Supreme Court requiring GWB to find a suitable candidate.

This little bluebird hopes that LadyX is right. :)

[Billie]

Actually looked (but not very long) FOR an old-fashioned one. Settled for the 40's. :)

Dinner time here - later, ALL!

[luvie]

Have a good one--I should be heading out before long to eat some Mexican food---yummy! It's date-night tonight!

[Temple Owl]

Vanilla is the only flavor we ever gave her. It gets the pills down. She won't eat liverwurst at all now--even without the pills. She just spits it out. A little ice cream always gets on her fur when we give her the medicine and we've been using wipes to clean her. Now when she sees us pull one out of the packet, she runs. She is really a funny mutt.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Evening everybody. Hope you're all enjoying your evening.

[DollyCali]

whoa.. there is our sexy victoria!!!! hope you are doing well.. I have had a LONG day.. just playing around on a few threads but need to crash soon.. only 2 hours sleep last night. see you all tomorrow. Sweet dreams & God's blessings on your rest

[Victoria Delsoul]

I'm doing well, thanks Dolly. :-)

I'll see you tomorrow, and hope you feel better.

G'night and sweet dreams.

"Nothing Is Ever Sure"

Read:
James 4:13-17

You do not know what will happen tomorrow. —James 4:14

Bible In One Year: Matthew 1-4

In November 1975, the huge freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank in the cold waters of Lake Superior during a fierce storm. Only a week before the tragedy, chief steward Robert Rafferty had written to his wife, "I may be home by November 8. However, nothing is ever sure." The prophetic irony of his words was noted in a newspaper article listing the 29 crew members who perished in the disaster.

Not a day passes without a reminder that our earthly life can end at any moment. All we need to do is read the obituary column. One message comes through loud and clear: We're here today, but we may be gone tomorrow! "What is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away" (James 4:14).

Is our only certainty, then, the sobering prospect that at any moment we may be thrust into eternity? No! Christ is the anchor of the soul. He paid the penalty for our sins on the cross. If we admit our guilt before God, we will receive forgiveness and eternal life by trusting Him. He has promised to remain with us, even in the hour of death.

Does your earthly life seem futile because "nothing is ever sure"? Then trust Christ! He provides a joyous certainty about eternity that can be yours right now. —Dennis De Haan

Life is uncertain,
Death is sure,
Sin is the cause,
Christ is the cure! —Anon.

It's never too soon to accept Christ, but at any moment it could be too late.
