A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....10-17-05....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 10/16/2005 8:15:09 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

Beware Of A Judgmental Spirit!

Read:
Matthew 7:1-5

Judge not, that you be not judged. —Matthew 7:1

Bible In One Year: Matthew 8-11

cover A young married man began going to a pornography store. When his parents learned of this, they gently and tactfully confronted him, but made no accusations. The son responded with anger and said that he saw no harm in what he was doing. He accused his parents of being judgmental. With broken hearts they had to stand by and watch him as he left his wife and family, lost his job, and eventually ruined his life.

Many people today would say that his parents had no right to imply that he was doing wrong. They may even quote Jesus' words: "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Matthew 7:1).

But the Bible makes it clear that we are responsible to humbly confront fellow believers when we see them caught in sin (Galatians 6:1-2). These parents were lovingly doing just that.

Jesus wasn't saying we shouldn't confront sin. He was saying we must be very careful in making judgments. Paul wrote that love thinks no evil (1 Corinthians 13:5). We must give others the benefit of the doubt, recognizing our own limitations. And we must reject any feeling of spiritual superiority, lest we also fall into sin.

Confronting someone is a serious responsibility. Exercise it carefully, and always beware of judging. —Herb Vander Lugt

Your Word instructs us not to judge;
So, Lord, we humbly pray,
"Restrain our lips when we would speak
The things we should not say." —D. De Haan

Judge yourself before you judge another.

Hi - I looked for my name in the list of those who currently have soldiers serving and didn't see it - not to be confused with repubmommy. I'm "Repubmom" and my son is active duty Army - currently stationed at Ft.Hood with the 1st Cavalry. Thanks for all the prayers and support for our troops!

Hi, there! I was afraid you had posted and then gone off to bed! It IS fairly late in the east! LOL!

Great that you had a good campaign meeting and that you are pleased with your team! Have you done some real stratigising for the write-in campaign?

I don't fault you for keeping things close--but you know I am on your side and pray for you to be successful. Just let all your FReeper supporters know how things are going...without giving too many details!

Now take your poor blurry eyes to bed, and I'll see ya first thing in the morning at Tony's Place! :o) ((hugs)) 'Nite!

I have added you/son to my list. I went thru the HTML & did not see it. I did see Repubmommy's brohter.. Thank your son for his service to us!!!

and thanks for letting us know. I am not the best in keeping up with things

It does get confusing with some screenenames being very similar to each other. I met Repubmommy at the inauguration BTW!

I am running for Erie County NY Legislature. http://www.RusThompson.com
Last year we started a tax revolt and an orginization called http://www.PrimaryChallenge.org where we helped regular everyday people get on the ballot to run against the incumbents.

We had 6 candidates running and won 2 primaries.
I was narrowly defeated by the political machine in one part of the district by a heavy margin, enough that I couldn't make it up in the rest of the district. How can I say no when people are calling I have never known and my committee grew with the loss. Dedicated people, fed up with taxes and the politics as usaul and of destruction.

But I was defeated by a well orginized smear campaign aimed at certain individuals. I have had people calling me from the 3 parts of the district that I won telling me not to give up the fight and do a write in. So we are.

The taxrevolt will be heating up again due to the fact that the county is getting ready to do it again, we are looking at another sales tax increase and a property tax increase.

If they don't act on this budget it will go in by default with a 70% property tax increase.
