"Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997."

Are you sure? I was here very early and thought the SW change was 1997. There were only a few thousand people back then. It sort of makes one scratch their rear-end wondering where the time went!

Wishing all you Finest Freepers a very fine weekend ... )

Haven't been very chatty, as I've taken up duties on a couple of other threads but
I do read the pings and the thread and do appreciate!

Hmmmmm......I don't know about that. I am an old-timer, but not quite that old (my FR anniversary being 3-98). Billie wrote that time-line and she has been here practically forever, so I'll let you two debate FR's history. But, I agree, the time has sure flown by.

You have yourself a good weekend too, JW.

[Mama_Bear]

We appreciate your participation whenever and however often you can come by. :-)

It's past my bedtime, so I am out of here. You have yourself a great weekend!

We Touched Him!

READ: 1 John 1:1-4

That which . . . our hands have handled, . . . we declare to you. —1 John 1:1,3

Mythology is filled with legends of ancient gods who descended from heaven and took human form, but no one ever heard or saw them, and no one ever touched them. These were dreams born of human desire for God and the hope that someday He would draw near. The incarnation of Jesus—God who came in the flesh—is how those dreams came true.

Author Dorothy Sayers put it this way: “[God] can exact nothing from man that He has not exacted from Himself. He has Himself gone through the whole of human experience, from the trivial irritations of family life and the cramping restrictions of hard work and lack of money to the worst horrors of pain and humiliation, defeat, despair, and death. When He was a man, He played the man. He was born in poverty and died in disgrace and thought it well worthwhile.”

The incarnation of Jesus Christ is the irrefutable proof that God will do anything to draw near to us.

Augustine said, “[God] gave Himself for a time to be handled by the hands of men.” And we have the written record of John, a man who actually did touch Him. We can trust his account—and we can trust that God wants to be near to you and me. —David H. Roper

Absolutely tender! Absolutely true!
Understanding all things; understanding you;
Infinitely loving, good and kind and near—
That is Christ our Savior. What have we to fear?  —Anon.

Love was when God became a man.  —Walvoord

Good Friday morning Anna.

It is a gorgeous morning after really bad storms last night where we all are. It's supposed to storm in Austin today...which is not good. But it won't stop us from having fun and enjoying the birthday party for NYT.

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll talk to you whenever I can get on the computer. I'm borrowing NYT's right now because he uses his phone to hook up. Cool huh?

((((hugs))).....LUV

Have a wonderful time!
