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.

No wonder she has been asking for so many extras. The milk has been disappearing pretty fast, is she also sneaking milk to him?

The Silver Rule is "thou shalt not blab all things..:)

Good night, JustAmy...
Good night, PrissyMissy...
Good night, JustFrank...
Good night, little bunny - LOL

LadyX is retiring to her bed chamber forthwith...

To my dear FReeper FRiends receiving this PING - please accept my prayer and thoughts for you today:

May you have a wonderful Lord’s day that will renew your soul and focus your life again on your creator. May your earthly troubles and heartaches be dimmed in the light of God‘s comfort and Glory.

May your friendships give you encouragement as your God gives you peace.

Later

God's To-Do List

Read:
1 Peter 2:9-17

Make mention that [God's] name is exalted. —Isaiah 12:4

Bible In One Year: Mark 1-3

God has a to-do list, which, according to Max Lucado in his book It's Not About Me, consists of one item: "Reveal My glory."

The Lord reveals Himself and His glory through creation. But He also does it in various ways through His people. In the book of 1 Peter, we see that God has made us "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people." As we tell others that He has called us "out of darkness into His marvelous light" and shown us mercy (2:9-10), He receives the glory that is due to Him alone.

Through our trials, Jesus receives praise, honor, and glory as our faith is "tested by fire" (1:6-7). People are watching us, and when they see us resisting temptation some will "glorify God" (2:12).

We also point others to Him when we obey laws and authority "for the Lord's sake" (2:13). And through using the gifts and abilities God has given us to serve others, He is "glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever" (4:11).

The Lord says, "My glory I will not give to another" (Isaiah 42:8). If God's number-one priority is to reveal His glory, our privilege and responsibility as His people is to reflect that glory. —Anne Cetas

Help us not to cloud God's glory
Nor with self His light to dim;
May each thought to Christ be captive,
Emptied to be filled with Him. —Anon.

The goodness of God reveals His glory.

[The Mayor]

Thank you Maggie for your kind words, and your Prayers.
The politicos have tried to write me off as irrelevent and a wannabe. I can assure you that they are wrong.

Through education and God's guidence we will absolutely send a message that we are fed up with the corruption here.

Thank you.
