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 received good news at my eye checkup last monthmy faraway vision has improved. Well, I thought it was good news until a friend informed me: Faraway vision can improve as we age; close-up vision may diminish.
The report made me think of another kind of improved faraway vision that I have observed in some Christians. Those who have known the Lord for a long time or who have gone through great trials seem to have a better heavenly vision than the rest of us. Their eternal eyesight has gotten better and their close-up earthly vision is diminishing.
Because the apostle Paul had that type of eternal vision, he encouraged the church in Corinth: Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory . . . . The things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Cor. 4:17-18).
For now we struggle with our eyesight. Theres a tension between enjoying all that God has given us in this life, yet still believing what theologian Jonathan Edwards said about our future: To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Seeing Him will bring perfect vision.
Read: 2 Corinthians 4:165:8

WELCOME TO
(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities.
Now for our local DC Metroland weather report
~ Today...A mix of clouds and sun. Humid.
High 89F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph.
~ Tonight...Mainly clear skies. Low 71F.
Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
A miracle!
Today's weather report isn't calling for rain!
We did manage to get the grass cut, yesterday.
I went to raise the flag and
the dang rope on the flagpole broke.
Jerry-rigged the flag to the porch for the day.
Now I have to find someone to hoist the rope
up the humongously tall pole.
Wishing you all a wonderful Independence Day. Have a safe and enjoyable day.
I've got to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma! And you know how she gets.
Remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
