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!

What you see is not always what you see. Wait and see, and you will see what I see.

You may think the picture below is just a snowy bunch of black and white specks, but come closer.... closer.... closer.... come closer, until you're about six to ten inches from your monitor. Are you there? Now you may need to sorta cross your eyes and stare in the middle of the picture for just a bit. Now back up...you should see an object jump forward, leaving the background far behind. Do you see what I see? (Dolly, you will like this one.) :)

Here's one in color, and it's a nice picture by itself - even more fun when you see what you'll see when you do what you did before. :)

Just one more, because I don't want your eyes to hurt like mine did when I was searching for stereograms.

A cup of tea, anyone?


Have fun! Tell me what you saw in the pictures!

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 11-14-05 Military Monday

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

[Billie]

T Man! You came! I knew the fruitcake would bring you out of hiding! :)

lonestar, hello! Hope you're getting settled back in comfortably in your home.

One very last attempt at the *Starship Enterprise* in the first black & white speckled photo....

IF you were able to see a 3D image at all, it SHOULD have looked "similar" to this, positioned approximately where this is, except that the 3D image itself is still in the same black and white speckled colors - it just looks like it's moved forward and stands out against the rest of the same black and white specks. I'm sorry, guys/gals. :(

[EsmeraldaA]

Well....there she is!! HA!

And I thought it was a deer. LOL!

[Billie]

This one's for you, wolfie. Ah-roooooo! 'Nite, all!

[Billie]

Whew! But the image *did* pop out at you finally? (Not in this picture I just posted, but in the regular one in the opening?)

[EsmeraldaA]

Not as clear, no. I actually thought it was a deer. Now I see why.
Perhaps my contacts had something to do (or not) with it.

[Jack Deth]

I work Night Shift (3pm-Midnight)on the West(Reserve)Side of Andrews Air Force Base. So, yes; it an Airport, but a Military one.

I'm what's called an ART (Air Reserve Technician). Which means that I do the same job (Aircraft Technician/Crew Chief) I do on Reserve Weekends and Annual Tour during the week. In civilian clothes, for better pay. I've been an ART since 1981. And a Reservist at Andrews since 1976.

We're the guys who get the planes (KC-135 Tankers) ready to fly and the Flight Crews to train in. Performing final Walk Around Inspection with the Pilot. Visually check the flight controls. Call engine starts. Perform final checks before Marshalling the plane out.

Then "catch" it (Lead with the "Follow Me" Truck, Marshall the plane back to its spot, Chock the tires. Lock the Gear Struts, Check the Intakes and Engines, Pump gas if time permits, Retract the flaps and put the plane to bed) when it returns, usually after four hours.

Jack.

A custom-made warm and fuzzy stereogram ... why, thank you, Mrs. Bear!

That's very cool ... )))

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I saw..... Rorschact? :-)

My eyes don't do stereograph. Maybe it's the astigmatism?

Speak And Do

Read:
James 3:13-18

The wisdom that is from above is . . . without hypocrisy. —James 3:17

Bible In One Year: James 3-5

In ancient Greek dramas, a person behind a curtain spoke the lines while the performer on stage acted out the role. We might refer to the speaker behind the scenes as one who didn't "practice what he preached."

This person behind the curtain reminds me of a problem we as Christians experience today. Many of us are skilled at sounding religious, but we don't put our words into action. This is hypocrisy.

When there is a discrepancy between what we say and what we do, we create confusion in the minds of our "audience." That's why many nonbelievers do not take the gospel message seriously.

A Christian who makes the greatest impact on a watching world, and who furthers the cause of Christ, is one whose actions harmonize with his words. When James spoke of the "wisdom that is from above," he described it as "pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy" (James 3:17).

Our role as Christians is vastly different from the ancient Greek actors. They had speakers who didn't do, and doers who didn't speak. We are to be people who speak and do the truth. —Richard De Haan

You're writing a "gospel," a chapter each day,
By the deeds that you do, by the words that you say;
Men read what you write, whether faithless or true—
Say, what is the "gospel" according to you? —Gilbert

When words and actions agree, the message is loud and clear.

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL! I was really off, I saw an Angel. :)

[silent_jonny]

I can't see anything in any of these pictures--so frustrating!

This one's for you, wolfie. Ah-roooooo!

Hmmm, I'm gonna guess on this one. Is it a werewolf ... in London? :)

[DollyCali]

you are NEVER off if you see an angel.

JMHO

[DollyCali]

Hmmm, I'm gonna guess on this one. Is it a werewolf ... in London? :)

I was guessing a "babe".. ( I didn't see it either. eyes worn out & need to save them today to do some computer work)

[DollyCali]

This person behind the curtain reminds me of a problem we as Christians experience today. Many of us are skilled at sounding religious, but we don't put our words into action. This is hypocrisy. Ah, this gets us ALL now & then, doesn't it. Most of the time we arent' aware of it. Thanks for the faithful offering to us Rus.

[meandog]

America Recycles Day

Every year down the road from me they have what they call a Scrapture event.

People take junk and make "art" out of it.

Here are a couple of pictures:

There are a lot of strange people around this area, so I am not sure if this is a scrapture thingie or a real person...

[Billie]

Good morning, Jack. Thanks for giving us a little background on just who Jack Deth is, besides Freeper, Poet, and all-around good guy!

[Billie]

Sistahs? Do we need to change the date on this thread to show it's running through today, too?

Hope you are okay - no damaging tornados or winds through your town?

Hugs!!!!
