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.

I received this in my email June 10th, 2006 - the author is unknown.
I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

READ: Psalm 66:1-10

All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You. —Psalm 66:4

“Keep on travelin’. Keep on . . .” sang the teenagers of the Dayspring Chorale. They had just sung the first five words of their Sunday evening concert when everything went dark. All power was gone.

Well, not all power. Not true power.

The students kept singing. Flashlights were found to shine on the chorale as they sang their entire repertoire without accompaniment.

Midway through the concert, the director, my daughter Lisa, asked the congregation to sing along. It was goosebump time as God’s name was lifted high in that darkened church. “Hallelujah” never seemed so heavenly.

Before the concert, everyone had worked hard to make sure all the electrical equipment was working. But the best thing that happened was for that power to go out. As a result, God’s power was highlighted. God’s light, not electric light, shone through. Jesus was praised.

Sometimes our plans break down and our efforts fall short. When things happen that we can’t control, we must “keep on travelin’” and remember where the real power for godly living and true praise comes from. When our efforts falter, we need to keep praising and lifting up Jesus. It’s all about Him anyway.

Sing praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation.  —Schutz

God’s great power deserves our grateful praise.

Bible in One Year:   Joshua 13-15; Luke 1:57-80

Good Morning The Mayor
Thank you. :) How are you today. Any new news on the tolls? I should go check ;)

I keep seeing commercials with people saying I voted for Spitzer and then complain about his budget and him. I say to myself, good grief, it's a little late, what did you expect when you voted for him?

[Texagirl4W]

I'm ready. My sisters are out of town this weekend so it's just me. I love them dearly but I like to be alone sometime. I'm a natural born loner - but that's how I like it.

[GodBlessUSA]

I'm part a loner myself. :)
I hope it doesn't rain. I'd love to spend time cleaning up the garden beds. It should be warm enough. Grateful for this. :)

[La Enchiladita]

Good morning everyone. That is a surpassingly beautiful presentation of the Pledge of Allegiance, GeeBee.

It's warm in L.A. today, a very pretty sunrise... hope you all fulfill your gardening wishes and plans. My Brigid is much better on the home-cooking plan. See you all tonight, when I am FREEEEE......

[Lady Jag]
