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 or a profile of another FReeper.

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 am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

Painting my dining room and it's a slow process but hope to finish it today.

You are painting too? I painted my half-bath last month and just finished the utility room a few days ago. Whew!! Both jobs ended up being bigger projects that I thought they would, but they look so fresh and clean, it was worth it. Next on the agenda is the guest room. It's the prep time that kills me - all that masking of the woodwork! Not fun. The painting goes fairly fast once you get the room 'ready'.

Good luck on your dining room project.

Get In The Game

READ: Colossians 1:24-29

To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily. —Colossians 1:29

I love going to Chicago’s Wrigley Field for a baseball game—sitting in the stands, downing a great hot dog, and cheering the Cubs on to victory!

Unfortunately, Christianity has become a lot like professional sports. As a friend of mine has observed, there are nine guys on the baseball field doing all the work and thousands in the stands just watching. And as you probably know, that’s not God’s game plan for His people. He wants us to climb out of the stands, get out on the field, and join the team.

If you are wondering what good you can do on the field, wonder no more. What about your financial resources? Jesus can take your “silver and gold” and use it to accomplish great things for His glory.

But more than just getting out your checkbook, you have gifts you can contribute. God has given each of us spiritual gifts that can help advance His kingdom. Whether it’s teaching, encouraging, serving, showing hospitality, or extending mercy, each ability can yield great dividends. Let’s follow the example of Paul, who tirelessly served on God’s field for the joy of being used by Him (Col. 1:28-29).

Believe me, it’s far more rewarding to be on the field than to sit in the stands.

Start where you are in serving the Lord,
Claim His sure promise and trust in His Word;
God simply asks you to do what you can,
He’ll use your efforts to further His plan. —Anon.

Don’t make a cemetery of your life by burying your talents.

Bible in One Year:   2 Chronicles 32-33; John 18:19-40

[stopem]

Stoppin in to say hi and take a rest from the yard sale we are having today. Plus cool off a little, it is hot out there :(

[The Mayor]

Louie made it and I tried to improve it by making his coat red...

[The Mayor]

Well good morning then, makin any money? Or just gettin rid of stuff?

[MEG33]

Good luck on your yard sale, stopem..That’s hard work for me..the getting everything priced. I only do it when I am moving!

I just came in from playing yard commando and that blast of A/C was SO wonderful.

There was a BIG Tom Turkey standing on my neighbor’s drive..I thought the foxes had chased them all off.
Thank you always,Mayor for our daily bread.

Good Morning To The Finest

~Wishing You A Great Saturday~

[USMCWife6869]

Thanks so much for the good morning Ping. That is always such a great way to start my day.

Yesterday was my birthday (not tellin’ LOL). It was a mixed day because I miss my husband so much, but my teenage daughter and her boyfriend hung out with me and we played Trivial Pursuit all night, and I laughed and laughed. Turned out to not be such a horrible day.

How is everyone else’s weekend going??
