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

Ever stop to think about all the animals that frequent the Finest? There are bears and birds, dogs and kitties, foxes, owls, wolves...! And Elephants everywhere! (No donkeys need apply though!) :)
Now the Finest isn't like just any zoo - our animals are very FRiendly - no fences or cages for them - in fact, this one may greet you at the door and insist upon a hug before you enter. (females only, of course.)
You may even find a bear in the kitchen cooking up some of her special brownies.
The Finest isn't all about animals and birds, of course - we have among us, to name just a few:
And we mustn't forget these Finest Animals and/or FRiends of Animals (and a Critter gift for each) - in no particular order:

A few little critters didn't get used, so if you have these letters in your name, please feel free to take them. I used "Comic Sans Ms" font in a size "6" to spell the rest of the names. Wish I knew someone whose name started with "Z" - love that zebra!
Have a Wonderful Warm and Fuzzy Wednesday and Thursday! illie lue

Peripheral Vision
READ:
Luke 9:51-62Now it came to pass, when the time had come for [Jesus] to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem. Luke 9:51
Peripheral vision enables us to be aware of our surroundings while remaining focused on our destination. What we see from the corner of our eye can be useful, unless it distracts us from our goal.
During the weeks leading to Easter, as we think about the cross, we may be struck by our Lords purposeful approach to the city where He knew crucifixion and resurrection awaited Him. Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51). From that moment on, Jesus eyes were on the cross. Every obstacle to accomplishing His Fathers will became part of His peripheral vision.
When a man professed an interest in following Him, Jesus told him: No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God (v.62). The issue was probably not the mans family (v.61) but his focus. We cant move ahead while looking at what weve left behind.
Neither cries of Hosanna nor shouts of hatred could deter Jesus from His goal to give His life a ransom for many and to pay the price to set us free (Matt. 20:28).
Where is our focus today?
Some people follow Jesus Christ,
Then obstacles get in their way;
But if theyll focus on the Lord,
They wont be led astray. Sper
You dont need to know where youre going if you know the One who does.

70 degrees! Can’t wait for that temperature. 2 more months here, at least, before we see 70 degrees. I have a family member who lives in DC area. I always get jealous when she tells me you all have daffodils blooming.

My daffodils have just stuck their heads up above the ground - I have mostly late season varieties.
