Hi Dolly. Looks like I just missed you.

Read the Medved article yesterday and was embarrassed for him.

[MEG33]

Indeed!!

God Bless Our Military

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Dutchess; Aquamarine; The Mayor; DollyCali; GodBlessUSA and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation's leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult day that faces each of us and our country. Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Jesus Cried

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: John 11:21-35

Jesus wept. —John 11:35 A friend whose young daughter was killed in a car accident in May 2005 told me: "I cried easily before Natalie’s accident. . . . Now I am always crying. Sometimes the tears just slip out."

Anyone who has suffered such intense personal tragedy understands what she is talking about.

Is there anything wrong with crying? Or do we have biblical evidence to suggest that it’s okay to cry?

Jesus gives us the answer. Lazarus, a close friend of His, had died. When Jesus arrived at the home of Lazarus’ sisters, they were surrounded by friends who had come to console them. Jesus saw Mary and Martha and their friends mourning, and He too was overcome. Sorrowing with them, "Jesus wept" (John 11:35).

Sadness, tears, and mourning are familiar territory for everyone on this earth—even for Jesus. His tears tell us that it’s okay if tears "just slip out." And they remind us that the reason tears of sorrow will be extinct in eternity is that "there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain" (Rev. 21:4).

When God wipes out the effects of sin, He will wipe out the need for tears—one more reason to look forward to eternity.

God shall wipe away all tears;
There’s no death, no pain, nor fears,
And they count not time by years,
For there is no night there.  —Clements

Heaven—no pain, no night, no death, no tears.

Bible in One Year:   Deuteronomy 5-7; Mark 11:1-18

Amen..Thank you, Mayor.

Hi. This morning just the pics are coming up on JH2's essay. I'll be back to check out to see if the essay appears later. The pics look great and I can see others have been able to "see" John's words. I'll check back.

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning Aqua and John
Fantastic thread! Ann Coulter is a riot. What a big cry baby John is. ;)

I get such a kick out of that video of him doing his hair. If anything, he's entertaining. ;) the Break Girl. LOL

[Billie]

Oh my gosh! John, you always hit a home run, but I really, really, really love it when you focus mostly on the dim for the day!

Aqua, I am also thinking this is your best one yet as far as finding the very best illustrations to make John's words have even more punch. Love that first pic of Coulter, and laughed and laughed at each one thereafter!

"Kerry wearing Edwards on his sleeve" - ROFLOL!!!

Thank you for Thursday's Big Smile!

[Billie]

proud, evidently the coin background didn't open for you, so you're seeing the text on black background, which of course won't show. Try highlighting the whole thing, and the text will appear white and you'll be able to read it.

Hate the background didn't open. Sometimes I have certain graphics at my server that don't open every time. I refresh and refresh and refresh and eventually they open. It's aggravating.

[La Enchiladita]

Thank you, Aqua, for your (as always) classy presentation of John Huang's essay. This continues to be the warmest, most welcoming thread on FR, in my view, and that is due to the reliability of the Sistahs and The Mayor

We look forward to each of the regular features on The Finest and, as a slacker, I thank you all.

[La Enchiladita]

Absolutely marvelous, solid essay, John. You nail several important points.... especially the nasty mischief the left gets away with compared to one oblique comment by a conservative commentator.

For the record, I'm in Anne's corner on this one.

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

Try highlighting the whole thing, and the text will appear white and you'll be able to read it.

Thanks for the tip, Billie. I have never seen that, sometimes the text appears delayed or slowed, but it just didn't come up at all.

Now that I'm in, I enjoyed the essay. I didn't like being left out. Thank you.

[The Mayor]

Excellent... simply excellent!

[The Mayor]

My Pleasure Meg.

[The Mayor]

Well Thank you so much.

[Aquamarine]

Just LOVE that first picture with Coulter. Had not seen that one!

Found that graphic over on Pookies Toons thread yesterday. Luckily there were a few others there also. :)

Thanks for the kudos!

[Aquamarine]

Hi Dixie, it's great to see you today.

How's everything in your lovely area, are the flowers starting to bloom yet?

[Aquamarine]

Thinking of Jesus crying makes me cry. Thanks for posting this Inspirational Mayor.

Hope your day wasn't too tough, you all have been in my thoughts.
