Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

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 don’t know if this is true in every marriage, but for some reason I have a tendency to tune out everything around me and concentrate on my own thoughts. This is especially frustrating to my wife, Martie, when she is talking to me about something important. When she notices the distant look in my eyes, she often says, “Have you heard anything I’ve said?”
Listening is an important part of any relationship, especially in our relationship with Christ. If we belong to Him, we have the privilege of communing with Him through His Word and the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. We know we are paying attention to the true Shepherd when His voice leads us to righteousness, love, grace, and all that is consistent with His character and will. As Jesus made clear when He identified Himself as the “good Shepherd” in John 10, those who diligently listen to Him become devoted followers of Him (v.4) who are becoming transformed into His likeness.
Just as listening attentively to your spouse or a friend communicates value and worth, paying close attention to the voice of Jesus is one way to affirm His importance in your life. So, let’s cast aside the distractions of life, tune in to His voice, and pray for the grace to do what He says.
Read: John 10:1-10

SOUP FOR THE TROOPS
WELCOME TO THE
(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities
Another nice visit with the troops.
Never tire of seeing our guyz and galz at work!
Someone, years ago in one of my jobs, gave me two photos -
one is of the USS Midway and on the back
it says, "USS Midway History."
the other is a faraway shot of the Midway
in battle formation with several British ships
On the back it says, "Battle Group Alfa, USS Midway
and Units of the British Royal Navy
in the Northern Arabian Sea."
Not sure why I've held onto them all these years.
Should hand them off to some guy who loves military souvenirs.
DC METROLAND WEATHER
~ Today...Cloudy with scattered showers with isolated thunderstorms this morning...
Then partly sunny with isolated showers this afternoon.
Hot with highs in the lower 90s.
Southwest winds around 5 mph...Becoming east around 5 mph this afternoon.
Chance of rain 50 percent.
~ Tonight...Partly cloudy. Lows in the lower 70s. South winds around 5 mph.
Yucky, sticky weather.
Waiting to see if we'll get more rain from the passing storm.

A sprinkle of this...a splash of that...
Before the Civil War, the United States government had offered the highly respected Robert E. Lee the position of Commander of Union forces.
If you toss a penny 10,000 times, it will not be heads 5,000 times, but more like 4,950. The heads picture weighs more, so it ends up on the bottom more often.
You can call it Britain, Great Britain, United Kingdom, or U.K. –
however, if you purchase a stamp there,
you won't find any name on it.
Great Britain was the first country in the world
to issue postage stamps,
and they're the only nation in the world today
that doesn't use a national name on their stamps.
The mechanical shark in the 1975 hit movie Jaws was named Bruce.
Several of the Bond girls —
namely Ursula Andress, Shirley Eaton, Eunice Gayson, and Claudine Auger —
were unable to match an alluring voice to their sexy physical attributes.
For each of them, their lines were dubbed by
aspirant actress Nikki van der Zyl,
who later left the film industry to practice as a barrister.
On Doctor No, van der Zyl did every female voice
except Miss Moneypenny and a Chinese girl,
and she also dubbed Raquel Welch's grunting in One Million Years B.C.
(something so wrong about that)
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
I'll probably regret saying this but
today may be a little slower (fingers crossed).
Gotta check pings and get that out of the way...just in case.
Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
