The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
I was walking in a subway in Minsk, Belarus, with my friend Yuliya and her daughter Anastasia when I suddenly fell face first onto the dirty concrete floor. I don’t remember the fall, but I do remember suddenly having a mouth filled with sand, gravel, and grit. Ugh! I couldn’t get that stuff out of my mouth quickly enough!
I didn’t enjoy what went into my mouth on that embarrassing occasion. But Scripture teaches that it’s more important to guard what comes out of our mouths. When the writer of Proverbs 15 said that “the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness” (v.2), the word translated pours forth literally means “explodes out.” Rash accusations, angry words, and verbal abuse can do immeasurable and lifelong harm. The apostle Paul spoke bluntly about this: “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth” (Eph. 4:29)—no dirty talk. He also said to “[put] away lying” and to “speak truth” (v.25)—no lies. And later, “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you” (v.31)—no character assassination. What comes out of our mouths should be wholesome and uplifting.
We guard carefully what goes into our mouths—and rightly so. To honor God, let’s also keep tight control on the words that come out of our mouths.

You Are an Adjective
You are a very expressive person. You have a way with words, and you’re never at a loss for what to say.
You can describe something perfectly. You can paint a picture with your story and make people feel like they were there.
You are fanciful and dreamy. You tend toward being a little dramatic. Everything is a big deal for you.
For you, a day is not simply nice. It’s “beautiful,” “idyllic,” “balmy,” or “superlative.”
I didn’t take the quiz but I’m pretty sure I’m a dangling participle.
Thank you for this evenings thread Kathy! *hugs*
Got snow?
Evening, Kathy.
Apparently I’m a conjunction, and I like connectivity, but sometimes I still feel like a verb.
