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 200,000 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.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

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

Huh?

Escalator- 1 a : a power-driven set of stairs arranged like an endless belt that ascend or descend continuously

Oh, wait!

osculation- the act of kissing; also : KISS

Okay.

They're in the Capitol but they say "sciencediet"? LOL! Were you there in your former "life"?

[Lady Jag]

Actually I've been there in all my lives . . . well, so far, anyway.

[Lady Jag]

Reddy or not, he-e-e-re's Friday!!

[Billie]

Does this help? :)

Oh my gosh! The only thing missing is a No U-Turn sign! That's hilarious! And this has been way too much fun, but I've got to go - was going to leave earlier but didn't stay away!

See ya!

[MEG33]

;) Gorgeous.. "Here come de rain" again but no thunder and lightning so far...

I don't like that you must be #1 prescription taker at the drug store((HUGS)))

There comes the thunder..

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Oh, that is so pretty. I drive thru a bad part of town to get to work. The other day someone had planted yellow tulips around some trees, it was so refreshing. Thank you Meg.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

What were you doing there, Lady, or should I call you sciencediet? hehehe...

[MEG33]

I 35 was closed for a time..I spent so many years traveling I 45 that I automatically think it... I am watching a big red blob on the radar..I think it will pass just east of me..There are so many creeks and rivers in minor flood stage, some moreso .. that I am looking for all docks to be raised on the lake.. We had a lake cabin during my children's growing up years so I know how much the boaters and fishermen will love this..

[MEG33]

Thank you, PAL! There's nothing like a flower planting to soften the scene!

Near me there is a rare successful planting of bluebonnets in a yard ...and there is a large field adjacent to a church softball park that has bluebonnets blooming. usually one must get on a highway to see them.

[Lady Jag]

You got thunder? Did it come with some beneficial rain?

The pills are all trying to hold together a considerable organ recital. Should have bought stock In CVS.

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi Meg :)
Wicked weather day yesterday out your way. I hope it's much better today.

It was much nicer today than they predicted. I got to enjoy some time outside.

[GodBlessUSA]

Beautiful red tulips! :)

[MEG33]

[ConorMacNessa]

Beautiful pic, MEG!

[MEG33]

Thank you, Conor..I love tulips.

[Lady Jag]

I am extremely curious and try to find myself in many locations.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

So you were there finding yourself?

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Bye, have a good weekend! I'm going home now!

The Preeminent One

READ: Matthew 21:1-11

He is before all things, and in Him all things consist . . . that in all things He may have the preeminence. —Colossians 1:17-18

We can never overstate the greatness of Christ. As the preeminent person in history, He is worthy of our love and our praise.

In his classic book The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer paid tribute to Frederick Faber, the Englishman who penned the song “Faith of Our Fathers.” Tozer said, “His love for the person of Christ was so intense that it threatened to consume him; it burned within him . . . and flowed from his lips like molten gold. In one of his sermons he said, ‘Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle, and end of everything to us. . . . There is nothing good, nothing holy, nothing beautiful, nothing joyous which He is not to His servants. . . . No one need be downcast, for Jesus is the joy of heaven, and it is His joy to enter into sorrowful hearts. We can exaggerate about many things, but we can never exaggerate our obligation to Jesus, or the compassionate abundance of the love of Jesus to us. All our lives long we might talk of Jesus, and yet we should never come to an end of the sweet things that might be said of Him.’”

On this Palm Sunday, let’s lift glad hosannas of praise to the King of kings. Jesus deserves our loving adoration. He is truly the preeminent One!

When we submit to Jesus’ lordship,we’ll give Him our worship.

Preeminent is Christ the Lord,
He reigns o’er earth and sky and sea;
For mighty power is in His Word—
How great in majesty is He. —D. De Haan

Bible in One Year:   Judges 13-15; Luke 6:27-49
