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.
Frank, Ted, and I were fishing for bluegill on Rice Lake in Ontario, Canada. We were on a pontoon boat, and the fish were really biting. Busy baiting and hooking, we slowly became aware that the action had slacked off. Then we realized why: The boat was no longer sitting where we had put it. A strong wind had come up and pushed it across the water. The anchor could not hold us and was sliding across the lake bottom. We hauled it up, returned to our hot spot, and re-anchored. We were moved away again. After a third try, we went back to shore. We could not get our anchor to grab and stick.
When it comes to our salvation, our hope is anchored in the promise of God and the work of Jesus Christ. The winds and waves of doubt, discouragement, and spiritual attack by the evil one can cause us to think that we are adrift and salvation from God is not secure. Not so! God has given His promise that our salvation is sure, and He cannot lie (Heb. 6:18-19). Our hope is securely fastened in Jesus Christ who redeemed us once and for all when He died, rose again, and ascended to heaven.
Our anchor is the Rock unmovable—Jesus Christ. His limitless love holds us sure and steadfast.
Read: Hebrews 6:13-20
Hi Ma!

it's August, ok? Can't remember ever doing this in August.

By U.S. definition, a "hurricane"
is any wind force exceeding 74 miles per hour;
in the Western Pacific, such a phenomenon is called a "typhoon"
and, near Australia, it's a "willy-willy."
Americans will hold more parties
in their homes on Super Bowl Sunday
than any other day of the year.
In the United States,
Jeno Paulucci made Chinese food,
under the Chun King label,
available in supermarkets nationwide
for the first time in 1947.
He later brought out Jeno's pizza.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.
