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

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

Where Was God?
READ:
Hebrews 13:5-8Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. Isaiah 53:4
Was God sadistically absent? Thats what Robert McClory, professor emeritus of journalism at the Northwestern Universitys Medill School of Journalism, asked after Hurricane Katrina devastated the New Orleans area of the US.
We may want to try to exonerate the Almighty for permitting disasters that rip apart vulnerable communities. But is God absent in such situations? No, McClory insists. Talking about the Katrina tragedy, he said that God was invisibly present with the suffering and the dying. He was in the individuals, communities, churches, and schools that organized aid for the victims and took evacuees into their cities and homes. He was with the hundreds of thousands who showed compassion by prayer and financial assistance.
So it is in our own lives when a heartbreaking tragedy occurs, such as the death of someone we love. We have no completely satisfactory answer to lifes painful problems. We do know, however, that the Lord is present with us, for He said He would never leave us (Heb. 13:5). Jesus name Immanuel literally means God with us (Matt. 1:23).
Even though suffering baffles our minds, we can trust God to be near and to work out His purposes.
Gods unseen presence comforts me,
I know Hes always near;
And when lifes storms besiege our soul,
He says, My child, Im here. D. De Haan
The storms of our life prove the strength of our Anchor.

Mornin' BeeGee. Proudly wearing
RED in honor of our Armed Forces - Past and Present.
Busy holiday weekend planned. Grandson's Football game tomorrow. He's grown a lot bigger than what was in that sharing a drink with his friend graphic on WFW.
Also, the MoveAmericaForward caravan to DC will be spending the night here on Monday with a rally on Tuesday morning before they head on down the road to Fresno. I'm busy putting the final touches on some Stars and Stripes chimes hoping they'll present them to a Gold Star Family and/or a recovering wounded soldier/Marine/airman/sailor at Walter Reed.
God Bless America and I pray for His protection and blessings on all our Armed Forces.
