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. : )

"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

Thank you for your thoughts & encouraging words on Cali. Little insomnia here. First time that I haven't had her under may arm close by sleeping.
I did get some yard work done yesterday & friend took me to movies to see Knocked Up last night. Movie was crude & rude but as several friends recommended it & rotten tomatoes gave it a 91% , we went for it.. There is humor but also food for thought, For those of us who are older & not in that culture as such, there is a bit of shock value.
For our bandstand tomorrow night is a group I worked hard to get on the program for a couple years. LaFlavor
I am doing a photoshoot for the kids church tomorrow morning & will again do the pix for the newspaper for the evening concert. I have had about a dozen of my pix published in past few months

Gods Delays
READ: Habakkuk 1:122:3
I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me. Habakkuk 2:1
Waiting is hard for me. I want answers now. Postponements perplex me; deferrals daunt me. Im baffled by Gods delays, wondering why and when. How long, O Lord?
The prophet Habakkuk wanted answers as well, but God chose to take His time. I will stand my watch . . . to see what [God] will say to me, Habakkuk wrote (2:1). The vision is yet for an appointed time, God replied. Wait for it; because it will surely come (v.3).
Faith never gives up. It knows that despite appearances, all is well. It can wait without signs or significant indications that God is at work, because it is sure of Him. Each delay is perfectly fine, for we are within the safe hands of God, said Madame Guyon (16481717).
We too must learn to view each delay as if it were perfectly fine. Postponements are reasons to pray rather than grow anxious, impatient, and annoyed. Theyre opportunities for God to build those imperishable but hard-to-acquire qualities of humility, patience, serenity, and strength. God never says, Wait awhile, unless He is planning to do something in our situationor in us. He waits to be gracious.
So take heart! If Gods answer tarries, Wait for it; because it will surely come.
Soon shall the morning gild
The dark horizon rim,
Thy hearts desire shall be fulfilled
Wait patiently for Him. Havergal
God stretches our patience to enlarge our soul.

I got this email from my friend Karen this morning. Please remember her in your prayers.
I am going to put the power of prayer to work. I will be at MD Anderson, tomorrow. Pray, that I only have a swollen gland, and not anything worse. I am a little nervous.--Karen
