We need your continuing support to keep FR on the air. FR is funded solely by the donations made by the people who love and use it. We sell no advertising or merchandise; have no corporate sponsors or sugar daddies and accept no government subsidies. It's just us freedom-loving grassroots conservatives using and funding one of our favorite and most useful news and activism organizations.

FreeRepublic.com - Defending God, life, family, country on the Net since 1996!

Thank you all very much for your continuing support!! Your loyal support keeps FR alive and is greatly appreciated. And thank you all very much for your continuing prayers!! I am now recovering very nicely from surgery in a rehab facility where the physical therapists are training me to get around without my legs. And we're making great progress. Looking forward to going home sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Make it a monthly if you can. We have some very generous FReeper sponsors who are donating an extra $10 for each new monthly donor signed up. We now have 26 new monthly donors signed up this quarter, including 5 new Dollar-a-Day Donors!! Thank you very much, monthly donors and new monthly sponsors!!

We also have over seventy-five donations this quarter of $100 or more!! FReeper I_be_tc donates $100 per quarter and challenges 300 other FReepers to do the same. If you donate $100 or more per quarter, please let me know and we'll add your name to the "300 Club Roster!" If we can get 300 members sending in a $100 or more per quarter, these fundraisers would run much faster.

Thank you all very much!!

FReepers ROCK!!

Bryan sent this to me, and I thought that everyone might like to see it.



The Elephants Knew

And some will say there is no God,
Try and tell that to the elephants. . . .

THE ELEPHANT'S JOURNEY TO PAY RESPECT,
BUT HOW DID THEY KNOW?



Lawrence Anthony,
A legend in South Africa and author of 3 books

Including the bestseller, The Elephant Whisperer.

He bravely rescued wildlife and rehabilitated elephants all
Over the globe from human atrocities, including the courageous
Rescue of Baghdad Zoo animals during US invasion in 2003.

On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony died.

He is remembered and missed by his wife, 2 sons,
2 grandsons, and numerous elephants.

Two days after his passing, the wild elephants
Showed up at his home led by two large matriarchs.

Separate wild herds arrived in droves to
Say goodbye to their beloved 'man-friend'.

A total of 31 elephants had patiently walked
Over 112 miles to get to his South African House.


Witnessing this spectacle, humans were obviously in awe not only
Because of the supreme intelligence and precise timing that these
Elephants sensed about Lawrence's passing, but also because of
The profound memory and emotion the beloved animals evoked
In such an organized way:

Walking slowly, for days, making their way in a solemn
One-by-one queue from their habitat to his house.

Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially touched,
Knowing that the elephants had not been to
His house prior to that day for well over 3 years!
But yet they knew where they were going.

The elephants obviously wanted to pay their deep respects,
Honoring their friend who'd saved their lives - so much respect
That they stayed for 2 days 2 nights without eating anything.
Then one morning, they left, making their long journey
Back home.

SOMETHING IN THE UNIVERSE IS GREATER
AND DEEPER THAN HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.

IN GOD WE TRUST

That is an amazing story. I wonder how they knew that their care giver passed away.

Sorry about the mower :(

Getting wet doesn't hurt it. It's just against policy.

Cats or coons knocked off the board on the hood weighing down the tarp.

It's much cleaner now, no worries.

I’m so happy that you liked it. It struck me deeply. They traveled 112 miles, somehow having sensed their champion had fallen. [blurry screen]

And regardless how, they knew where to go and how to pay tribute. Two days without eating must have been hard for such huge creatures.

I was completely floored after reading it for the first time.

Yes, indeed, First Darling.

I can’t even imagine killing an animal so intelligent and beautiful.
