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!

ood morning, FRiends.   I have often wished I had a *generic* table to post on days when I'm short of time,   or low on creativity, and can't think of a theme or can't find the right graphics when I *have* a theme.   So, here it is - I made one - and you will probably see it again 'cause it just says WELCOME!

I'm calling it my "Ain't Got No Theme" (sorta)  or  "Ain't Got No Graphics" (sorta) table.  When you see it, you will know it's one or the other - or BOTH!   Do hope you'll stop in, have a cup of coffee, share your thoughts, pick a theme, post a picture, offer a suggestion for a future theme, offer to WRITE a future thread, or just wave as you drive by. :)

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 02-26-07 Military Monday

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

Juls sisters husband. Ron was my age.
I left the hospital at 7:55, the room in ICU was full of people all family and close friends.

When I got in my van I just Prayed that the Lord just take Ron home and not to allow the doctors to drag this out. The only reason why Ron was still with us was the resperator, if they shut it off he would go.

That is never an easy decision for anyone so they were waiting it out, it was a heartbreaking deathwatch.

So I Prayed at 7:55 and Ron went home at 8:15 peacefully with no pain. Just before I left I whispered to him, be well my friend, see you soon.

His wife Jackie said she really didn't want to be there at that moment, so with the Divine intervention she had to go to the ladies room, Jul went with her. Then she got a cell call, paused for a minute. When she walked into the room Ron was at Peace.

Heart wrenching but at the same time, when we lift it all up in Prayer, our Lord and Saviour answers as he did tonight.

I'm goin to bed now, sleep well my friends.
See you for coffee and the Great Word..

Your post brings tears to my eyes, Rus - it's so very hard to lose a loved one. I am so sorry. Will be thinking of you all in these next few days.
